Project Description
The two main images depict the gross features of endometrial carcinoma types I and II. Type I is shown as more diffuse within the uterine wall, with multiple grades in the same lesion, from hyperplasia to high-grade carcinoma. Type II is shown as polypoid with aggressive metastases in the lymph nodes and around the body. The histological insets of type I show progressive crowding and collapse of the glandular endometrium. The insets for type II depict the progressive growth and disorganization of endometrial epithelium into uterine serous carcinoma, which infiltrates into normal tissues and metastasizes. Metastasis shown in this inset relates back to the lymph nodes in the main image of type II. A small inset notes the role of screening in identifying carcinoma mutations.
