#Is the gland-to-stroma ratio normal?

#*1:3 is normal.

#*If gland-to-stroma ratio is increased... think ''[[endometrial hyperplasia]]''.

#*If the gland-to-stroma ratio is increased... think ''[[complex endometrial hyperplasia]]''.

#*If glands are fused to one another or [[cribriform]]... think ''[[endometrial carcinoma]]''.

#*If the glands are fused to one another or [[cribriform]]... think ''[[endometrial carcinoma]]''.

#Glands round?

#*Round is normal.

#*Irregular - may be seen in menses, ~~endometrial hyperplasia,~~ disordered proliferative endometrium.

#*Irregular - may be seen in [[secretory phase endometrium]], menses, [[disordered proliferative endometrium]] (focal), [[simple endometrial hyperplasia]] (diffuse).

#Glands pseudostratified?

#*Pseudostratified glands are normal in the proliferative phase, hyperplasias, malignancy.

#*Pseudostratified glands are normal in the [[proliferative phase endometrium]], hyperplasias, malignancy.

#Balls of cells?

#*Blue - likely menstrual (stromal condensation).
