The association of polypoid growth pattern with lymph node involvement in endometrioid type endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Background: Tumor size is an independent predictor of lymph node metastasis and survival in the endometrioid type endometrial adenocarcinoma (EC). However, some of the ECs tend to grow towards the cavity in the polypoid pattern, which can reach very large sizes. In this study, we aimed to analyze the association of growing in the polypoid pattern of the tumor with the proportion of lymph node metastasis and extrauterine tumor spread.

The impact of uterine adenomyosis on the histopathological risk factors and survival in patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma.

A retrospective cohort study was performed on patients diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma (EC) during a 9-year period to investigate the impact of co-existing adenomyosis on patients with EC. Group A included women with EC and adenomyosis and Group B EC cases without the presence of adenomyosis. Group A was more likely to have early-stage disease, tumours without deep myometrial invasion, low-grade tumours and tumours with negative lymphovascular space invasion when compared to Group B ( = 0.

Does cervicovaginal cytology have a role in the diagnosis and surveillance of endometrial adenocarcinoma?

Objective: To examine the role of cervicovaginal cytology in diagnoses and surveillance of the patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC).

Methods: Patients who underwent EC surgery that included a follow-up were reviewed retrospectively. The cohort was limited to the patients who had an available cervical cytology result within 12 months before the primary surgery took place.

Dedifferentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma; clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features of five cases.

Objective: Dedifferentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma is a recently defined uterine tumor composed of low-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated carcinoma. Herein, we present clinicopathologic, morphologic, and immunohistochemical features of 5 cases of dedifferentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma.

Material And Methods: All cases which were diagnosed as mixed endometrial adenocarcinoma (endometrioid+undifferentiated carcinoma) or dedifferentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma between January 2008 and December 2014 were retrieved from the archives of our institution’s pathology department.
