Atypical Uterine Polyps: A benign clinical course despite morphologic and molecular overlap with Adenosarcomas.

A subset of clinically benign uterine polyps shows atypical morphologic features worrisome for, but not diagnostic of, Mullerian adenosarcoma. The guest, Dr Marisa Nucci discusses her team’s finding in their recently published study in Modern Pathology. The authors propose the term "atypical uterine polyps" for these lesions, which show biologic overlap with early Mullerian adenosarcoma but lack molecular alterations characteristic of clinically aggressive adenosarcoma. Study by Nucci et al. Atypical uterine polyps show morphologic and molecular overlap with mullerian adenosarcoma but follow a benign clinical course. Modern Pathology, 35, 106-116.
