Uterine Corpus Pathology

🎙️ Episode Description: Uterine Corpus Pathology – From Bleeding to Tumors

In this high-yield episode of PodBites, Marwa Kaidali and Shahad Hammad take you on a journey through the uterus—from hormonal chaos to high-grade malignancies.

You’ll start with a crash course on the endometrial cycle, then dive into the causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. From there, we explore endometrial hyperplasia, chronic endometritis, and polyps—before diving headfirst into endometrial carcinoma, its two distinct types, genetic profiles, staging, and prognosis. Finally, we wrap up with benign fibroids (leiomyomas) and their sinister counterpart, leiomyosarcomas.

💡 Key Highlights:
✔️ Menstrual cycle histology made easy
✔️ Abnormal uterine bleeding vs DUB
✔️ Endometrial hyperplasia (with vs without atypia)
✔️ Chronic endometritis – plasma cells and infertility
✔️ Endometrial carcinoma – Type I vs Type II (genes, risks, spread)
✔️ Leiomyoma vs Leiomyosarcoma – clinical clues and histology
✔️ Final recap + board-style practice questions

🎧 Whether you're revising for pathology or reviewing gyn-onc pearls, this episode delivers a full sweep of the uterine corpus in one engaging, case-based discussion.
