Undifferentiated/Dedifferentiated Carcinomas of the Endometrium: A Retrospective Clinicopathological Study of a Series of 11 Cases

Introduction Undifferentiated endometrial carcinomas (UDECs) are rare subtypes of endometrial carcinomas with aggressive clinical behavior. Histologically, UDEC exhibits a solid growth pattern and consists of monomorphic, discohesive, small to medium-sized round cells, with absent to mini...

description Introduction Undifferentiated endometrial carcinomas (UDECs) are rare subtypes of endometrial carcinomas with aggressive clinical behavior. Histologically, UDEC exhibits a solid growth pattern and consists of monomorphic, discohesive, small to medium-sized round cells, with absent to minimal neuroendocrine differentiation. When UDEC is accompanied by a differentiated carcinoma component (usually International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] grade 1 or 2), it is termed dedifferentiated endometrial carcinoma (DDEC). The diagnosis of these tumors is challenging because of their close histological similarity to grade 3 endometrioid adenocarcinomas.
