Cytomorphological features of atypical polypoid adenomyoma of the endometrium

This study highlights the cytomorphological features of atypical polypoid adenomyoma (APAM). Squamous morules and/or short fascicles of spindle cells were found in five of the six cases. A combination of cytomorphological features can lead to a suspicion of APAM and avoid an overdiagnosis as endomet...

Description
Summary:This study highlights the cytomorphological features of atypical polypoid adenomyoma (APAM). Squamous morules and/or short fascicles of spindle cells were found in five of the six cases. A combination of cytomorphological features can lead to a suspicion of APAM and avoid an overdiagnosis as endometrioid carcinoma.
