Summary
| Description |
This grade-I adenocarcinoma was diagnosed by an endometrial biopsy done in the gynecologist's office. This is from the hysterectomy specimen. The tumor is limited ot the corpus uteri and does not grossly invade the underlying myometrium. This is a longitudinal sagittal section through the full length of the uterus. The corpus is to the left, and the rather elongate cervix trails off to the right. The hysterectomy specimen was bivalved, pinned out on a big bloc of paraffin wax, and floated in a vat of formalin overnight. The next morning, I cut this central section from the pinned-out half of the uterus. Top left: The carcinoma is limited to the surface of the endometrial cavity of the corpus uteri. Bottom left: No tumor is seen in the underlying myometrium. The prognosis of such non-invasive adenocarcinomas is excellent. Middle-right: Nabothian cysts are very commonly seen in the cervix and are of no clinical significance. Right: The cervix of this patient is unusually long and skinny. |
