  2. Adenomyosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenomyosis

    Concentric myometrial hyperplasia frequent around adenomyotic foci; Variants: Gland-poor, stroma-poor, intravascular [23] Differential Diagnosis: Adenomyoma; Myo-invasive endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (vs. stroma-poor adenomyosis) Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (vs. gland-poor and intravascular adenomyosis) [23]

  3. Decidualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decidualization

    In the event no embryo is implanted, the decidualized endometrial lining is shed or, as is the case with species that follow the estrous cycle, absorbed. [1] In menstruating species , decidualization is spontaneous and occurs as a result of maternal hormones.

  4. Grading (tumors) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grading_(tumors)

    Cancer is a disorder of cell life cycle alteration that leads (non-trivially) to excessive cell proliferation rates, typically longer cell lifespans and poor differentiation. The grade score (numerical: G1 up to G4) increases with the lack of cellular differentiation - it reflects how much the tumor cells differ from the cells of the normal ...

  5. Adenomyoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenomyoma

    Uterine adenomyoma, the localized form of uterine adenomyosis, is a tumor composed of endometrial gland tissue and smooth muscle in the myometrium. [2] Adenomyomas containing endometrial glands are also found outside of the uterus, most commonly on the uterine adnexa but can also develop at distant sites outside of the pelvis . [ 3 ]

  6. Endometrial cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometrial_cancer

    ITCs for endometrial cancers are defined as less than or equal to 0.2 mm or single cells or clusters of cells less than or equal to 200 cells in a single lymph node cross section. [68] Myometrial invasion and involvement of the pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes are the most commonly seen patterns of spread. [2]

  7. Endometrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometrium

    Asherman's syndrome, also known as intrauterine adhesions, occurs when the basal layer of the endometrium is damaged by instrumentation (e.g., D&C) or infection (e.g., endometrial tuberculosis) resulting in endometrial sclerosis and adhesion formation partially or completely obliterating the uterine cavity.

  8. Myometrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myometrium

    The myometrium is located between the endometrium (the inner layer of the uterine wall) and the serosa or perimetrium (the outer uterine layer).. The inner one-third of the myometrium (termed the junctional or sub-endometrial layer) appears to be derived from the Müllerian duct, while the outer, more predominant layer of the myometrium appears to originate from non-Müllerian tissue and is ...

  9. Decidua - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decidua

    These are enlarged endometrial stromal cells, which resemble epithelium (and are referred to as "epithelioid"). Decidualization includes the process of differentiation of the spindle-shape stromal fibroblasts into the plump secretory decidual cells, which create a pericellular extracellular matrix rich in fibronectin and laminin (similar to ...
