@PathologyUSAH 👏🏼 Congrats @katreetree_

[Maha Babker, MD @Babker_Path]

Wow, nice case

[Yasamin Mirzabeigi, MD @YMirzabeigi]

Our Gynecologic Pathology cases @UMiamiPathology are fascinating! Here’s a striking example of pilomatrix-like high-grade endometrial carcinoma (PiMHEC), a recently described entity mostly driven by CTNNB1 mutations. Look for solid basaloid growth with conspicuous central tumor cell necrosis, and pilomatrix-like keratinization with the hallmark ghost cells. This case also had a focal conventional FIGO grade 1 endometrioid component. IHC shows diffuse nuclear β-catenin with loss of PAX8 and ER in the pilomatrix-like component. These tumors are believed to behave aggressively.

: Arias-Stella reaction in endometrial biopsy

🔍 Key histologic clues:
• Marked nuclear enlargement with hyperchromasia
• Vacuolated / clear cytoplasm, sometimes hobnail-like cells
• Preserved overall architecture (no destructive stromal invasion)
• Low mitotic activity despite striking atypia
• Background of gestational or high progesterone state

⚠️ Common pitfalls:
• Overcalling as clear cell carcinoma or serous neoplasia
• Misinterpretation in ectopic pregnancy or early intrauterine pregnancy
• Focusing on nuclear pleomorphism without considering clinical context

🧩 Pearl: “Atypia out of proportion to behavior”, always correlate with pregnancy history and hormone status.

@Babker_Path You got it!
