Abstract

The present article summarises the relevant aspects of the S3 guidelines on endometrioid carcinomas. The recommendations include the processing rules of fractional currettings as well as for hysterectomy specimens and lymph node resections (including sentinel lymph nodes). Besides practical aspects, the guidelines consider the needs of the clinicians for appropriate surgical and radiotherapeutic treatment of the patients. Carcinosarcomas are assigned to the endometrial carcinoma as a special variant. For the first time, an algorithmic approach for evaluation of the tumour tissue for Lynch syndrome is given. Prognostic factors based on morphologic findings are summarised.
