Presentation
[…] necrosis and regenerative atypia Microglandular hyperplasia (MGH) of cervix: Has basal squamous metaplasia, prominent subnuclear vacuolization, relatively low proliferation index, lacks stromal foam cells and does not have a conventional EEC pattern present [pathologyoutlines.com]
Most patients present at low stage and have a favorable prognosis.34 This variant of ECa must be distinguished from the following: 1 ECa with osteoid formation. [nature.com]

Primary treatment is surgical (hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with staging), unless patient desires fertility Hormonal therapy (progesterone, leuprolide) alone can lead to complete remission in early stage, low grade tumor for women [pathologyoutlines.com]

In view of the frequent admixture of VGA and EA and their generally similar biological characteristics, with a prognosis similar to that of typical EA, we conclude that VGA should be considered a variant of EA. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It has a prognosis intermediate between villoglandular carcinoma and serous carcinoma. [nature.com]
Etiology
[…] estrogen, unopposed by progesterone: Initially, estrogen has mitogenic effect on both endometrial glands and stroma Chronic estrogenic stimulation without progesterone affects glands to a greater extent → glandular overgrowth (hyperplasia) → adenocarcinoma Etiology [pathologyoutlines.com]
Epidemiology
Endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma refers to a tumor arising from the endometrium, which resembles proliferative type endometrial glands ICD coding ICD-O: 8380/3 - Endometrioid adenocarcinoma, NOS ICD-10: C54.1 - Malignant neoplasm of endometrium Epidemiology [pathologyoutlines.com]
Pathophysiology
[…] endometriosis Ectopic endometrial glands / stroma are responsive to estrogen stimulation and can also develop an endometrioid-like hyperplasia and subsequently carcinoma (Gynecol Oncol 2002;84:280, Gynecol Oncol 1996;60:238, Int J Gynecol Pathol 1996;15:1) Pathophysiology [pathologyoutlines.com]
