- COMPLEX ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA WITH ATYPIA, SEE COMMENT. | |||
COMMENT: | |||
The sections show architecturally complex crowded glands with focal | |||
morular squamous metaplasia and focal cribriforming. Desmoplasia | |||
is not identified. The degree of gland confluence is not considered | |||
sufficient for the diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma. Nuclear atypia | |||
is present focally. | |||
</pre> | |||
====Insufficient extent for carcinoma==== | |||
<pre> | |||
ENDOMETRIUM, BIOPSY: | |||
- COMPLEX ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA WITH ATYPIA, SEE COMMENT. | |||
COMMENT: | |||
The sections show architecturally complex back-to-back glands with focal | |||
morular squamous metaplasia and cribriforming. Desmoplasia is not present. | |||
The extent, i.e. the size of the abnormality, is not considered sufficient | |||
for the diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma. | |||
