Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma of endometrium: A rare entity in a 72-year-old female

Abstract

Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA) of endometrium is considered a differentiated state of endometrioid adenocarcinoma. It is a low-grade tumor associated with areas histologically typical of endometrioid adenocarcinoma in the majority of the cases. Due to deceptively benign microscopy, MDA may be overlooked leading to incorrect assessment of tumor extend and staging.
