Endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) is a clonal growth of glands of the endometrium, regarded as a precancerous condition because of its highcorrelation with endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endometrium of uterus.Objective: To evaluate the expression of PAX2 in EIN and to correlate the expression with clinical parameters. Materials and Methods:-This is a retrospective study for (57)totalcasesof D&C and endometrial pipple biopsies, (21) cases where diagnosed as hormonal imbalance, (26) cases where diagnosed as EIN and (10) cases where diagnosed as endometrioid endometrial adenocarcinoma.Results: -Total number of cases that showed completely loss of PAX2 expression in all this study groups 25/57 and cases that showed partial loss 10/57. In hormonal imbalance group: all the cases showed normal expression of PAX2. In EIN: (65.4%) of cases were with complete loss of PAX2, (30.4%) with partial loss. In endometrial endometrioid cancer group:80% of cases with complete PAX2 expression, while partial loss or decrease PAX2 expression did occur in only (20%) ofcases.The association between study groups and PAX2 expression:decrease and complete loss of PAX2 staining were significantly (P= 0.001) occurred in cases of EIN and endometrial endometroid adenocarcinoma, while there was insignificant association (P=0.635) between study groups (EIN and endometrial endometroid adenocarcinoma), and results of PAX2 expression. Conclusion:-Loss of PAX2 immunomarkerexpressionhappens early and during of EIN using the WHO diagnostic categories.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
