Case 1: diagnosis
•
Regenerative changes•
Endometrial epithelial metaplasia
![Page 14: Endometrial carcinoma: practical partCan affect epithelium and (rarely) stroma • Can be seen in benign, premalignant and malignant situations • Should alert to look for “something](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062913/5e36f5b5a7055f4bed3f2628/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Endometrial metaplasia
•
Can affect epithelium and (rarely) stroma•
Can be seen in benign, premalignant and malignant situations
•
Should alert to look for “something else”
![Page 15: Endometrial carcinoma: practical partCan affect epithelium and (rarely) stroma • Can be seen in benign, premalignant and malignant situations • Should alert to look for “something](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062913/5e36f5b5a7055f4bed3f2628/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Endometrial metaplasia: origin
•
Most are rather “altered differentiation” towards type of epithelium in other part of
Müllerian tractus–
Mucinous: endocervix
–
Squamous: exocervix–
Ciliated: salpinx
![Page 16: Endometrial carcinoma: practical partCan affect epithelium and (rarely) stroma • Can be seen in benign, premalignant and malignant situations • Should alert to look for “something](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062913/5e36f5b5a7055f4bed3f2628/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Major classes of metaplasia
•
Degenerative•
Hormonal
•
Neoplastic
Topography?
![Page 17: Endometrial carcinoma: practical partCan affect epithelium and (rarely) stroma • Can be seen in benign, premalignant and malignant situations • Should alert to look for “something](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062913/5e36f5b5a7055f4bed3f2628/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Degenerative type of metaplasia
•
Cause: surface repair, stromal breakdown•
Topography: focal/multifocal/surface
•
Associated lesions: polyp, infarction, neutrophils
•
Example: papillary syncytial metaplasia
![Page 18: Endometrial carcinoma: practical partCan affect epithelium and (rarely) stroma • Can be seen in benign, premalignant and malignant situations • Should alert to look for “something](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062913/5e36f5b5a7055f4bed3f2628/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hormonal type of metaplasia
•
Cause: hormonal stimulation (estrogens)•
Topography: regularly irregular (cfr disordered proliferation)
•
Example: tubal metaplasia
![Page 19: Endometrial carcinoma: practical partCan affect epithelium and (rarely) stroma • Can be seen in benign, premalignant and malignant situations • Should alert to look for “something](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062913/5e36f5b5a7055f4bed3f2628/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Neoplastic type of metaplasia
•
Cause: local proliferation of cells with clonal changes
•
Topography: local, expansive
•
Example: secretory changes in EIN
![Page 20: Endometrial carcinoma: practical partCan affect epithelium and (rarely) stroma • Can be seen in benign, premalignant and malignant situations • Should alert to look for “something](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062913/5e36f5b5a7055f4bed3f2628/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

TNM general
rule
N°4:If
there
is doubt concerning
the correct T,N,
or
M category
to which
a particular
case should
be
allotted, then
the lower
(i.e., less
advanced) category
should

Staging of endometrial tumours
•
TNM 2009should be used in 2010
•
Different staging for carcinoma and sarcoma !!!!!
•
Carcinosarcoma is staged as carcinoma

Changes in endometrial Ca pT1
•
pT1a and pT1b are grouped
together
as pT1a
•
pT1c is now
pT1b•
New TNM:
•
pT1a: invasion
in endometrium
or
inner half myometrium
•
pT1b: invasion
in outer
half myometrium

Changes in endometrial Ca pT2
•
pT2a is not
separate stage•
pT2b has become
pT2
•
New pT2:Invasion
in cervical
stroma

Changes in endometrial Ca pT3
•
Positive
cytology
is not
longer
pT3a
•
New TNM pT3:•
pT3a: extension
through
serosa
or
adnexal
involvement•
pT3b: involvement
of vagina or
parametria

Changes in endometrial Ca pN
•
Which lymph nodes are involved?
•
pN1a: pelvic•
pN1b: para-aortic
![Page 41: Endometrial carcinoma: practical partCan affect epithelium and (rarely) stroma • Can be seen in benign, premalignant and malignant situations • Should alert to look for “something](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062913/5e36f5b5a7055f4bed3f2628/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Staging pT1 is difficult
•
Border between endometrium is not straight but undulating
where is half the myometrium?
•
Myometrial thickness is variable and varies with age
distance to serosal
surface cannot be used
![Page 42: Endometrial carcinoma: practical partCan affect epithelium and (rarely) stroma • Can be seen in benign, premalignant and malignant situations • Should alert to look for “something](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062913/5e36f5b5a7055f4bed3f2628/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
How to deal with this problem?
•
Anterior
and posterior
wall
have same thickness
–
If
only
1 wall
is affected: measure
thickness
of myometrium
and see
if
half of it
is infiltrated
•
Arcuate
vascular
plexus: inner limit at about
47,3% of myometrial
thickness
–
Ca well
into
or
through
AVP = pT1b–
Ca barely
into
AVP = pT1a

Are signet ring cells impossible?�Int J Gynecol Pathol. 2010 Sep 28. [Epub ahead of print]Endometrial Adenocarcinoma With Signet Ring Cells: Report of Two Cases of an
Extremely Rare Phenomenon.Boyd C, Cameron I, McCluggage.Department of Pathology (C.B., W.G.M.), Belfast
Health and Social Care Trust, Belfast Department of Pathology (I.C.), Altnagelvin Area Hospital, Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
AbstractThe presence of signet ring cells in a carcinoma within the uterine corpus strongly raises the possibility of a metastasis from a primary tumor in the breast, gastrointestinal tract, or elsewhere. Signet ring cells are extremely rare in primary endometrial adenocarcinomas with only a single prior case report. We report 2 cases of primary endometrial adenocarcinoma, one of mucinous and the other of endometrioid type, with a significant component of signet ring cells. One of the neoplasms arose within adenomyosis. In reporting these cases, we illustrate that the presence of signet ring cells does not preclude a primary endometrial adenocarcinoma. We discuss signet ring cells in the endometrium.

Think of Lynch when: topography•
30% of EmCa
located
in isthus
is Lynch !!
•
Multiple endometrial
tumours
(collision)

Think of Lynch when: synchronous
tumours
of special type!
•
Clear
cell
carcinoma
ovary•
Endometriosis
associated
tumours
•
Endometrioid
carcinoma
with
grade
> 1

Think of Lynch when: endometrioid
type with
special features!•
Peritumoral
lymphocytes
•
Tumour
infiltrating
lymphocytes•
Deeply
invasive
•
pL1•
Grade
3
•
Mix of architectural
patterns
and/or cytological
features
•
Dedifferentiated

Tumour infiltrating lymphocytes
•
TIL >42/10 HPF•
85% sensitive for
MSI-H
•
46% specific
for
MSI-H

What if you see it ???
•
Ignore
and just
report what
they
want to know: type, grade, stage
•
Report what
you
see
and don’t
bother
•
Report and mention
the association
•
Test for
Lynch–
IHC followed
by
single gene sequencing

Problem
There
are to date no
national
guidelines
for this
kind of issues !!!!!!!!
Can
we test for
genetic
syndrome
without informed
consent ???????
