Overview

NCI Definition: An endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from the ovary. It comprises 10% to 25% of all primary ovarian carcinomas. Grossly, endometrioid carcinoma may present as a cystic or solid mass. Microscopically, the tumor greatly resembles the appearance of the ordinary type of endometrial adenocarcinoma. As a group, endometrioid carcinoma has a prognosis twice as good as that of serous or mucinous carcinoma. [1]

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

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Ovarian Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma

CTNNB1 Mutation, PTEN Mutation, PIK3CA Mutation, KRAS Mutation, and KRAS Exon 2 Mutation are the most common alterations in ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma [2].
