Transcription

1 UC is demarcated (biphasic appearance) Sheets of monotonous, dyshesive cells, oval to histiocytoid (cytology differs from EEC) Scant cytoplasm, large vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli Scant stroma (lymphoma-like) May have rhabdoid cells, myxoid stroma Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes Glandular differentiation is absent CK/EMA staining negative or focal (and intense)

2 Endometrial biopsy

6 Monokeratin

7 Corresponding hysterectomy Evolving EEC undermined by UC

8 EEC component, FIGO grade 1

9 UC component

10 Sheets of monotonous cells

11 Histiocytoid, paucity of cytoplasm, vesicular nuclei, prominent nucleoli

12 Dyshesive

13 Myxoid zones

14 Rhabdoid forms

15 TILs

16 Monokeratin

17 Monokeratin

18 EMA

19 EMA

20 Desmin*

21 Vimentin

22 Serosa

23 The mets in dediff EC are typically the UC component LVI

24 MMMT Malignant Mullerian Mixed Tumor / Carcinosarcoma Monoclonal, thought to be derived from Ca Similar RF as EEC 40% extrauterine at presentation Classically is a fleshy polypoid mass DDX: High grade EEC (sarcomatoid) Dedifferentiated EC EC with SCE / heterologous elements, adenosarcoma, UES / heterologous sarcomas

25 MMMT Carcinomatous and sarcomatous elements that are intimately admixed (but demarcated) Carcinoma is high grade (EEC, USC, NOS) Sarcoma is high grade Homologous or heterologous Hyaline globules Metastases are typically carcinomatous Both components often p16/p53 + ER is typically negative

26 MMMT Biphasic, intermingled but demarcated components

27 MMMT HG carcinoma

28 MMMT HG carcinoma

29 MMMT HG sarcoma

31 MMMT

32 MMMT ER

33 MMMT p53

34 Dediff. EC vs. FIGO grade 3 EEC Dedifferentiated EC Biphasic look, demarcated components UC areas devoid of glands, dyshesive, lymphoma-like, cytology differs from EEC Rhabdoid cells, myxoid stroma, TILs CK/EMA neg/focal in UC FIGO 3 EEC Merging of gland rich and gland poor zones Sheet-like areas punctuated by glands, maintain cytology similar to glandular areas Not associated CK/EMA+

35 Dediff. EC vs. MMMT Both have biphasic appearance with demarcated components UC associated with background EEC (gr 1>2) No sarcomatous component or heterologous elements UC is monotonous MMMT Sarcoma associated with background HG Ca Definitionally a sarcomatous component +/- heterologous Sarcoma typically pleomorphic EEC regions CK+/ER+/p53-/p16- UC regions CK-/focal intense Mets: UC HG Ca CK+/ER-/p53+/p16+ Sarcoma CK-/p53+/p16+ Mets: HG Ca

36 EEC with mucinous component EEC with mucinous differentiation / Mucinous carcinoma Microglandular EEC (MGH-like) DDx: Endocervical adenocarcinoma Microglandular hyperplasia (MGH)

37 EEC with mucinous differentiation < 10% mucinous EEC with mucinous differentiation > 10% mucinous Mixed EEC Mucinous > 90% mucinous (or mostly mucinous) Mucinous Carcinoma Similar presentation to conventional EEC Strong association with progestins, tamoxifen

38 EEC with mucinous differentiation Endocervical-type mucinous cells, admixed oxyphilic cells Glandular, cribriform, villoglandular, villous Neutrophils MGH-like patterns Grade 1-2, low grade cytology bland Behavior MC ~ EEC* DDx: Endocervical mucinous adenoca MGH Other: Mets, atypical metaplastic proliferations

39 EEC with mucinous differentiation Endocervical-like mucin rich epithelium, complex glands

40 EEC with mucinous differentiation Apical mucin, bland cytology
