Overview
Endometrial cancer in early stage must be differentiated from diseases that cause abnormal uterine bleeding and endometrial thickening on USG, such as endometrial hyperplasia , endometrial polyp, and submucosal uterine leiomyoma. In advanced stages endometrial cancer must be differentiated from uterine sarcoma and uterine lymphoma.
Differentiating Endometrial Cancer From Other Diseases
- In early disease, uterine cancer must be differentiated from other diseases causing endometrial thickening:
- Benign endometrial proliferation
- Endometrial hyperplasia
- Endometrial polyp
- Submucosal uterine leiomyoma
- Differential considerations for advanced lesions include:
- Uterine sarcoma(s)
- Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS)
- Leiomyosarcoma of the uterus
- Malignant mixed Mullerian tumour (MMMT) of the uterus
- Uterine lymphoma: rare
- Primary uterine lymphoma
- Secondary uterine involvement with lymphoma
- Cervical cancer with uterine invasion
- Metastasis to the uterus from a non gynaecologcial malignancy: rare
