Cellular Classification of Endometrial Cancer
* Endometrial cancers are classified in one of the following two categories:
:* Type 1 may arise from complex atypical hyperplasia and is pathogenetically linked to unopposed estrogenic stimulation.
:* Type 2 develops from atrophic endometrium and is not linked to hormonally driven pathogenesis.

Overview

Classification

  • Endometrial cancers are classified in one of the following two categories:
  • Type 1 may arise from complex atypical hyperplasia and is pathogenetically linked to unopposed estrogenic stimulation.
  • Type 2 develops from atrophic endometrium and is not linked to hormonally driven pathogenesis.

Cellular Classification of Endometrial Cancer

  • 1. Endometrioid (75%–80%).[The most common endometrial cancer cell type is endometrioid adenocarcinoma, which is composed of malignant glandular epithelial elements]
  • Ciliated adenocarcinoma.
  • Secretory adenocarcinoma.
  • Papillary or villoglandular.
  • Adenocarcinoma with squamous differentiation.
  • 2. Uterine papillary serous (<10%).
  • 3. Mucinous (1%).
  • 4. Clear cell (4%).
  • 5. Squamous cell (<1%).
  • 6. Mixed (10%).
  • 7. Undifferentiated
  • Endometrial stromal sarcoma
