Definition : Clear cell carcinomas comprise about 5% of endometrial carcinomas.
The histologic features are similar to its counterpart seen in ovary, cervix and vagina.
Clear cell carcinoma of the endometrium is thought to be related to papillary serous carcinoma with which it shares some morphologic features.

villoglandular endometrioid carcinoma
15 April 2018Endometrioid Carcinoma - Villoglandular type WP
Definition : This subtype of endometrioid adenocarcinoma consists of finger-like projections lined by tall columnar cells with bland nuclei. Focal villoglandular changes are seen in almost 25% of endometrioid carcinomas. Villoglandular variants have to be distinguished from the more aggressive papillary serous carcinoma.

Definition : Grade 3 tumors contain solid areas comprising more than 50% of the tumor. They make up approximately 15% of all endometrial adenocarcinomas.
In tumors with squamous differentiation, only the glandular component is considered for grading purposes as previously mentioned.
