Overview

NCI Definition: A primary endometrial adenocarcinoma composed of neoplastic cells that form complex glandular patterns associated with budding and branching of the neoplastic glands. The neoplastic glands resemble those of the normal endometrium and may or may not be associated with sheet-like proliferation of malignant cells. Endometrioid adenocarcinoma is the most commonly seen morphologic variant of endometrial adenocarcinoma. [1]

Endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in PTEN, PIK3CA, ARID1A, PIK3R1, and CTNNB1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Endometrial Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma

PTEN Mutation, PIK3CA Mutation, ARID1fs, CTNNB1 Mutation, and PTEN Frameshift are the most common alterations in endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma [2].
