Abstract
This article provides practical recommendations developed from the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists Endometrial Carcinoma Project to address 4 issues that may arise in the diagnosis of uterine corpus low-grade endometrioid carcinoma: (1) The distinction between atypical hyperplasia and low-grade endometrioid carcinoma. (2) The distinction between low-grade endometrioid carcinoma and serous carcinoma. (3) The distinction between corded and hyalinized or spindle cell variants of low-grade endometrioid carcinoma and carcinosarcoma. (4) The diagnostic criteria for mixed endometrial carcinomas, a rare entity that should be diagnosed only after exclusion of a spectrum of tumors including morphologic variants of endometrioid carcinoma, dedifferentiated endometrial carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, and endometrial carcinomas with ambiguous morphology.
