The sections show endometrium with proliferative glands without significant dilation or irregularity of shape. An increased gland density is seen focally, at the edge of one tissue fragment, in association with tearing of the stroma (compression artifact). The gland-to-stroma ratio is otherwise within normal limits. Mitotic activity is present. No nuclear atypia is apparent. Benign endocervical epithelium is present. | The sections show endometrium with proliferative glands without significant dilation or irregularity of shape.

The sections show endometrium with proliferative glands. Rare mildly dilated glands (~2x surrounding) with minimal irregularity of shape are present. The gland-to-stroma ratio is within normal limits. Mitotic activity is present. No nuclear atypia is apparent. | |||
