Definition

An adenocarcinoma arising from the uterine body cavity. This is the most frequent malignant tumor affecting the uterine body, and is linked to estrogen therapy. Most patients present with uterine bleeding and are over age 40 at the time of diagnosis.

Endometrioid adenocarcinoma is the most frequently seen morphologic variant of endometrial adenocarcinoma.
