Overview
Endometrial hyperplasia may be broadly classified based on histology into simple and complex types. Endometrial hyperplasia may also be classified based on the presence or absence of cellular atypia (hyperplasia with cellular atypia and hyperplasia without cellular atypia).[1][2][3]
Classification
The World Health Organization (WHO) Classification System
The WHO Classification (1994)
- Endometrial hyperplasia may be classified based on glandular complexity and nuclear atypicality into the following types:[1][2][3]

The New WHO Classification (2014)
- The new WHO classification has been proposed to simplify clinical decision making, particularly when making treatment choices.[4]
- Endometrial hyperplasia may be classified according to new WHO classification (1994) into:
- Hyperplasia without atypia
- Atypical hyperplasia/endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia
The Endometrial Intraepithelial Neoplasia (EIN) Classification
Endometrial changes may be classified according to the International Endometrial Collaborative Group into two types:[5][6]
- Benign hyperplasia (a hormone dependent diffuse lesion, which is polyclonal)
- Benign endometrial hyperplasia is mostly observed with anovulation or after prolonged exposure to estrogen.
- The morphology of endometrial hyperplasia varies from proliferative endometrium with a few cysts to heavier endometria with many dilated and contorted glands that are designated as "cystic glandular hyperplasia," "mild hyperplasia," or "simple hyperplasia."
- Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia
- Endometrial precancers
- Epithelial crowding depicts less stromal volume which is approximately half of total tissue volume in non secretory endometrium
- Typically cells appear morphologically clonal and distinct from the surrounding endometrium.
- With advanced stage, it may become a more diffuse lesion
- In the beginning a localized clonal proliferation, which is monoclonal and neoplastic (EIN)
- The D-score is an integral part of the EIN classification :
- It is a measure of stromal volume as a proportion of total tissue volume (stroma + epithelium + gland lumen)
The D-score is assigned based on evaluation with computerized morphometry
- Using this method, specimens are classified as:
- Benign (D >1)
- Indeterminate (0< D <1)
- EIN (D <0).[7]
- Using this method, specimens are classified as:
