MEAN AgNOR COUNTS IN NON-ATYPICAL HYPERPLASIA, ENDOMETRIOID INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA, AND ENDOMETRIOID CARCINOMA

Abstract :

A cross–sectional study of 62 endometrial specimens consisting of 20 non–atypical hyperplasia cases, 20 endometrioid intraepithelial neoplasia cases, and 22 endometrioid carcinoma cases was conducted to determine the differences of mean AgNOR counts among these three groups. Mean AgNOR counts of each case was calculated by counting all black dots in the nuclei of 100 glandular cells and then the total number was divided by 100. mAgNOR counts were significantly higher in endometrioid carcinoma than the other two groups. Analysis of mAgNOR counts between the other two groups also showed that EIN was significantly higher than non–atypical hyperplasia.
