      This article updates the classification and grading of endometrial carcinoma. Criteria for distinguishing types of endometrial tumors are provided. The current understanding of the pathogenesis of carcinosarcoma is reviewed. The literature on two recently described entities, adenosarcoma and atypical polypoid adenomyoma, is summarized.
