FIGO Grading of Endometrial Carcinomas
Grade |
Histological Grading Scheme for Endometrial Carcinoma |
I |
Well-differentiated with < 5% solid area, prominent / easily recognizable glandular pattern. |
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 |
Nuclear Grading for Endometrial Carcinoma |
|
Grading is based on the following 4 cytological features: -- Prominent nucleoli -- Irregular nuclear contour -- Clumped chromatin -- Nuclear size 3-4x normal
|
|
Grade I |
Fewer than two |
Grade II |
Any two |
