Overview

Endometrial hyperplasia is further classified based on histology into simple and complex types. Endometrial hyperplasia can also be classified based on the presence or absence of cellular atypia; hyperplasia with cellular atypia and hyperplasia without cellular atypia.

The New WHO Classification (2014)

  • The updated WHO classification has been proposed to simplify clinical decision making, particularly when making treatment choices.[4]
    • Simple hyperplasia without atypia
    • Simple hyperplasia is characterized by:
    • Complex hyperplasia without atypia
    • Complex hyperplasia without atypia is defined as:
      • Glands with abnormal, irregular architecture set in a background of scant intervening stroma
      • Some stroma must be present,
      • Basement membrane lining individual glands and a rim of intervening endometrial-type stroma between them. In addition to back-to-back and cribriform-like arrangements, other glandular architectural abnormalities warranting designation of complex hyperplasia include
      • Outpouchings,
      • Infoldings, and budding
      • Squamous or morular metaplasia
      • Eosinophilic and ciliated cell changes
    • Simple hyperplasia with atypia
    • Complex hyperplasia with atypia
      • Increased gland-to-stroma ratio (≥3:1)
      • Gland complexity—caused by:
        • Branching
        • Outward budding
        • Internal papillary infoldings
        • Internal bridge
    • Hyperplasia without atypia
    • Atypical hyperplasia/endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia

The Endometrial Intraepithelial Neoplasia (EIN) Classification

Endometrial changes may be classified according to the International Endometrial Collaborative Group into two types:[5][6]

  • Benign hyperplasia (a hormone dependent diffuse lesion, which is polyclonal)
    • Benign endometrial hyperplasia is mostly observed with anovulation or after prolonged exposure to estrogen.
    • The morphology of endometrial hyperplasia varies from proliferative endometrium with a few cysts to heavier endometria with many dilated and contorted glands that are designated as "cystic glandular hyperplasia," "mild hyperplasia," or "simple hyperplasia."
  • Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia
    • Endometrial precancers
    • Epithelial crowding depicts less stromal volume which is approximately half of total tissue volume in non secretory endometrium
    • Typically cells appear morphologically clonal and distinct from the surrounding endometrium.
    • With advanced stage, it may become a more diffuse lesion
    • In the beginning a localized clonal proliferation, which is monoclonal and neoplastic (EIN)
  • The D-score is an integral part of the EIN classification :
    • It is a measure of stromal volume as a proportion of total tissue volume (stroma + epithelium + gland lumen)
  • The D-score is assigned based on evaluation with computerized morphometry
    • Using this method, specimens are classified as:
      • Benign (D >1)
      • Indeterminate (0< D <1)
      • EIN (D <0).[7]
