General
- Association: anovulation.
- Benign - can be grouped with normal.[1]
Treatment:
Image:
Microscopic
Features:[4]
- Proliferative type endometrium with:
- Cystic dilation of glands focally that do not have (glandular) secretions - key feature.
- Glands >2x normal size - usually 3-4x normal.
- Irregular shape, e.g. gland contour has inflection points.
- Greater than four glands involved (dilated).
- Cystic dilation of glands focally that do not have (glandular) secretions - key feature.
- +/-Stromal condensation -- balls of stromal tissue, aka "blue balls" (due to breakdown of endometrium).
Notes:
- Dilated glands often have tubal metaplasia.[citation needed]
- Eosinophilic syncytial metaplasia - common.
- Features: abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, mild nuclear atypia +/-loss of nuclear stratification, no mitoses).
DDx:
- Proliferative phase endometrium.
- Glands: straight, tubular, tall pseudostratified columnar cells, mitotic figures, no vacuolation, no mucus secretion, abundant mitoses.
- Stroma: cellular, stroma (spindle cells), mitoses.
- Simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia - architectural atypia diffuse.
- Benign endometrial polyp - may have gland dilation.
- Anovulatory endometrium - some consider this a synonym, see relation to disordered proliferative endometrium.

ENDOMETRIUM, BIOPSY: - COMPATIBLE WITH DISORDERED PROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM (FRAGMENTS OF PROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM WITH EVIDENCE OF SHEDDING AND VERY RARE GLAND DILATION). - VERY SCANT STRIPPED ENDOCERVICAL EPITHELIUM WITHOUT APPARENT PATHOLOGY. - NEGATIVE FOR ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA. - NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
ENDOMETRIUM, CURETTAGE: - PROLIFERATIVE ENDOMETRIUM, FOCALLY WITH GLAND DILATION AND SMALL BLOOD VESSELS, SEE COMMENT. - NEGATIVE FOR HYPERPLASIA AND NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY. COMMENT: A fibrotic stroma is not present. The findings may represent a remnant of the previously excised endometrial polyp or disordered proliferative endometrium. Follow-up is suggested.
Micro
The sections show a well-sampled endometrium. Mitotic figures are identified within the glands and stroma. Irregular, moderately enlarged glands are seen (only) in one of several fragments; most of the endometrial glands are round, regular and small.
No stromal condensation is apparent. No secretions are in the glands.
There are no back-to-back glands. No nuclear atypia is apparent. No thick-walled blood vessels are apparent.
