BACKGROUND. Endometrial carcinoma is a common malignancy in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC). Like colon carcinoma, endometrial carcinoma is diagnosed at an earlier age in women with HNPCC. In contrast to colon carcinoma, the pathologic features of endometrial carcinoma in HNPCC have not been studied in detail. It was the purpose of this Study to pathologically characterize a series of HNPCC associated endometrial carcinomas. METHODS. Fifty women with HNPCC and endometrial carcinoma were analyzed from four different hereditary cancer registries. H&E stained slides and pathology reports were reviewed for clinically important pathologic features of endometrial carcinoma. These results were compared with those for two different groups of sporadic endometrial carcinoma - women Younger than age 50 years (n = 42) and women of all ages with rumors demonstrating microsatellite instability (MSI-high) secondary to methylation of MLH1 (n = 26). RESULTS. Nearly one-fourth of HNPCC patients in this study had endometrial tumors with pathologic features that would require adjuvant therapy after hysterectomy. There was a trend toward the HNPCC patients having more nonendometrioid tumors; all of these patients were carriers of MSH2 mutations. Such nonendometrioid rumors were extremely rare in the MLH1 methylated group. A subset of MLH1 methylated sporadic tumors demonstrated a unique, 'undifferentiated' histology that was not observed in HNPCC or the young group. CONCLUSION. Data suggest a genotype-phenotype relation in which microsatellite instability resulting from MLHI methylation is almost exclusively associated with classical or 'undifferentiated' endometrioid rumors, whereas microsatellite instability secondary to MSH2 mutation call result in a more variable histologic spectrum of endometrial carcinoma.
