===Micro=== | |||
The sections show endometrium with a normal gland-to-stroma ratio. The glands are mildly dilated, tortuous and have mucus within them. The glandular epithelium is simple and non-pseudostratified. The stroma is edematous and has a decidual reaction. No mitotic activity is apparent. | |||
