Endometrium with psammoma bodies

Endometrium with psammoma bodies is an uncommon finding.

General

• Psammoma bodies be seen in benign or malignant conditions; the important malignancy that should not be missed is serous carcinoma of the endometrium.

Benign findings reported with psammoma bodies on endometrial biopsy:

• Endometrial polyp.
• Endometriosis.
• Endosalpingiosis.
