The cytology smears show high cellularity, large loosely cohesive sheets of cells, with palisade architecture, and nuclear crowding and hyperchromasia. The histology slides show well-differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma, endometrioid differentiation. The recognizable glands are lined by stratified columnar malignant cells. Numerous mitotic figures, and apoptotic bodies, are also seen.
