For women with deep endometriosis (>5 mm invasion, ASRM Stage II and higher), the risk of miscarriage increased by 298%. [44] [45]
(E): endometrial atypical hyperplasia (Left: HE × 10) and endometrial atypical cells (Right: HE × 200) (F) endometrial carcinoma (Left: HE × 400) and endometrial cancer cells (Right: HE × 400). Chorionic tissue can result in marked endometrial changes, known as an Arias-Stella reaction, that have an appearance similar to cancer. [15]
