Q

What is the best imaging modality for assessing the degree of myometrial invasion in endometrial cancer?

34
Q

Describe simple uterine hyperplasia

A

Glands of various sizes, most cystic
No crowding of glands
Small mitotic figures

35
Q

Describe complex uterine hyperplasia

A

Crowding of glands
Stratified epithelium with more mitotic figures
No atypia

Nuclear atypia is present
Abnormal mitotic figures
Glandular polypoid formations

No routine follow up

If patients are symptomatic progesterone agents might help wither orally or via the mierna IUS
