Precancerous and Putative Precursor Lesions of Endometrial Carcinoma
A variety of putative precursor and/or precancerous lesions have been proposed for endometrial carcinoma. The strength of the evidence that establishes each lesion as a precancer or even a precursor varies. All are pictured and discussed in this chapter,

Many new clinically important histopathologic entities and variants have been described using these techniques. Established diagnostic entities are more fully defined for virtually every organ system. The emergence of personalized medicine has also created a paradigm shift in surgical pathology. Both promptness and precision are required of modern pathologists. Newer diagnostic tests in anatomic pathology, however, cannot benefit the patient unless the pathologist recognizes the lesion and requests the necessar
