II

Moderately differentiated with 6-50% solid areas, mixed solid and glandular pattern.

III

>50% solid or entirely undifferentiated, minimal or no gland formation.

Note

Significant nuclear atypia or nuclear atypia inappropriate for  architectural grade raises Grade I and Grade II tumors by one grade.  Do not include metaplastic squamous areas in FIGO grade

--  Prominent nucleoli

-- Irregular nuclear contour

-- Clumped chromatin

-- Nuclear size 3-4x normal

Grade I

Fewer than two

Grade II
