Papiller sinsityal metaplazi ve villoglandüler endometrioid adenokarsinom birlikteliği

Endometriyal karsinomlarda ve bazı non-neoplastik endometriyal proliferasyonlarda papilla olusumu ve farklı epiteliyal metaplaziler görülebilir. Papiller sinsityal metaplazi özellikle küretaj materyallerinde, seröz papiller karsinom ile karısabilir ya da altta yatan bir tümör ile birliktelik gösterebilir. Bu çalısmada 52 yasındaki kadın hastada papiller sinsityal metaplazi ve villoglandüler endometrioid adenokarsinom birlikteliği sunulmustur.

Papillary syncitial metaplasia in association with villoglandular endometrioid adenocarcinoma

A variety of papillae formation and epithelial metaplasia can be seen in endometrial carcinomas and non-neoplastic endometrial proliferations. Papillary syncitial metaplasia may be misdiagnosed as serous papillary carcinoma, especially in curettage specimens and be found in association with carcinoma. In this report, we described papillary syncitial metaplasia in association with villoglandular endometrioid adenocarcinoma in a 52-year-old woman.
