===WHO classification - overview=== | |||
The WHO system is based on determining: | |||
# Gland density (normal = ''simple hyperplasia'', high density = ''complex hyperplasia''). | |||
# Presence/absence of nuclear atypia. | |||
==WHO | ===Alternate classifications - overview=== | ||
Two alternative grading systems exist, that are (currently) not widely used:<ref name=pmid11764378>{{Cite journal | last1 = Dietel | first1 = M. | title = The histological diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia. Is there a need to simplify? | journal = Virchows Arch | volume = 439 | issue = 5 | pages = 604-8 | month = Nov | year = 2001 | doi = | PMID = 11764378 }}</ref> | |||
#European group of experts (1999). | |||
#Endometrial collaborative group/Harvard (2000). | |||
Both consist of two categories, as opposed to four found in the WHO classification. | |||
