Included within the overall diagnostic term of ‘endometrial adenocarcinoma’ are a number of tumours which differ histologically from the common conventional adenocarcinoma which occurs at this site: to regard all these as a single entity may conceal possible differences in prognosis between the various tumour types, and it seems reasonable therefore to designate the straightforward adenocarcinoma of the endometrium in some specific manner. The term ‘endometrioid adenocarcinoma’ has been applied to this tumour and is, in the absence of any obviously better name, used here, albeit with some reluctance.
