“…The Royal College of Pathologists makes a similar recommendation 28. One study found no value in submitting more than the standard 2 sections of cervix (1 anterior and 1 posterior) in hysterectomies for endometrial cancer without a gross lesion in the cervix 65. However, a more recent publication found that submitting the 2 standard sections of grossly unremarkable cervix missed 24% of endometrial carcinomas involving the cervix.…”

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic neoplasm in developed countries; however, updated universal guidelines are currently not available to handle specimens obtained during the surgical treatment of patients affected by this disease. This article presents recommendations on how to gross and submit sections for microscopic examination of hysterectomy specimens and other tissues removed during the surgical management of endometrial cancer such as salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and lymph node dissection—including sentinel lymph nodes. In addition, the intraoperative assessment of some of these specimens is addressed. These recommendations are based on a review of the literature, grossing manuals from various institutions, and a collaborative effort by a subgroup of the Endometrial Cancer Task Force of the International Society of Gynecological Pathologists. The aim of these recommendations is to standardize the processing of endometrial cancer specimens which is vital for adequate pathological reporting and will ultimately improve our understanding of this disease.
