Endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma—very high magnification—H&E stain. In contrast to endometrial carcinomas, the uncommon endometrial stromal sarcomas are cancers that originate in the non-glandular connective tissue of the endometrium. They are generally non-aggressive and, if they recur, can take decades.
Endometrial cancer forms from the lining of the uterus, and uterine sarcoma forms from the muscles or support tissue of the uterus. [1] [2] Endometrial cancer accounts for approximately 90% of all uterine cancers in the United States. [6] Symptoms of endometrial cancer include changes in vaginal bleeding or pain in the pelvis.

Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing gynecologic cancers such as endometrial and ovarian cancer. [13] For endometrial cancer, every 5-unit increase on the BMI scale was associated with a 50-60% increase in risk. [14] Type 1 endometrial cancer is the most common endometrial cancer. [15]
Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) is a premalignant lesion of the uterine lining that predisposes to endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma. It is composed of a collection of abnormal endometrial cells, arising from the glands that line the uterus , which have a tendency over time to progress to the most common form of uterine cancer ...
By contrast, CTNNB1 mutations are significantly different in low-grade ovarian endometrioid carcinomas (53%) compared with low-grade endometrial endometrioid carcinomas (28%). This difference in CTNNB1 mutation frequency may be reflective of the distinct tumoral microenvironments ; the epithelial cells lining an endometriotic cyst within the ...

Carcinosarcoma of the uterus. In gross appearance, MMMTs are fleshier than adenocarcinomas, may be bulky and polypoid, and sometimes protrude through the cervical os.On histology, the tumors consist of adenocarcinoma (endometrioid, serous or clear cell) mixed with the malignant mesenchymal elements; alternatively, the tumor may contain two distinct and separate epithelial and mesenchymal ...
