Author: Mikael Häggström [note 1]

Grossing

  • Generally submit all tissue for microscopy, even larger volumes.
  • Look for products of conception if indicated from referral and/or history

Microscopy

Look mainly for:

Hyperplasia, atypa and/or malignancy

Microscopy report

Example in a normal case:

(Optionally: Benign endometrium and endocervical mucosa without significant histopathologic changes.) Negative for neoplasia or viral cytopathic changes.
