Endometrioid carcinoma is a type of endometrial cancer.^[1] It typically presents with abnormal vaginal bleeding after menopause, pelvic pain and a distended abdomen, similar to ovarian cancer symptoms.^[1]

Four molecular subtypes exist; mesonephric adenocarcinoma, mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma, intestinal type.^[2]

Endometrioid carcinoma accounts for around 80% of all uterine cancers in Europe and 90% in the United States.^[1] In 2018, 382,000 women worldwide were diagnosed with the condition, making it the sixth most commonly diagnosed cancer in females.^[1]
