Hysterectomy sampling
A regular hysterectomy grossing is performed, but with the following sampling:[1]
- 2 longitudinal sections through ecto/endocervix (1 anterior and 1 posterior)
- 2 longitudinal sections through upper endocervix/lower uterine segment (1 anterior and 1 posterior), immediately adjacent to the sections taken from the cervix
- 4 full-thickness representative sections of endomyometrium (2 anterior and 2 posterior)
- Transversely section the remaining anterior and posterior endomyometrium (~1 cm thick). Submit the entire endometrium from the lower uterine segment to the fundus, maintaining orientation.
- Submit entire fimbriae (longitudinally sectioned) and 2 representative cross-sections on each side.
Microscopic evaluation
- Look for signs of atypia or malignancy:
Endometrial hyperplasia: Cystically dilated endometrial glands lined by a single layer of columnar epithelium, without atypia.[2]
Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN), has the following criteria:[3]
- Architectural gland crowding
- Altered cytology relative to background glands
- Minimum size of 1 mm
- Exclusion of adenocarcinoma
- Exclusion of mimics
Mitoses should also preferably be seen.Endometrial adenocarcinoma[4], most commonly endometrioid, in which case low-grade carcinoma is distinguished from hyperplasia with atypia by the presence of glandular crowding with endometrial stromal exclusion, and significant cribriform, confluent glandular, labyrinthine, papillary/villoglandular, or non-squamous solid architecture.[5]
Reporting
Most importantly:
- Presence or absence of atypia.
