Findings was changed:

The sections consist of background endometrium displaying changes of cystic atrophy.  Several fragments have a polypoid appearance, which in areas show an increased gland-to-stroma ratio and a spindled, fibrous stroma.  Focally, the glandular architecture is crowded, with complex cribriform patterns.  These glands display cellular stratification and crowding, with pleomoprhic, enlarged nuclei showing coarse chromatin, prominent nucleoli and scattered mitotic figures.   

Note: No evidence of malignancy was present within the tissue sampled.
