Abstract

We report two cases of endometrial atypical complex hyperplasia with an extensive squamous hyperplasia occurring in two women aged 48 and 31 years old. The histological study showed an increase in the gland to stroma ratio with a false crowding aspect due to an extensive area of squamous metaplasia; some metaplastic areas were centered by necrosis. There was glandular cytologic atypia. Histologic examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis and to definitively rule out adenocarcinoma.
