(b) The corresponding endometrial polyp showing a similar histological appearance (H and E ×10). (c) Endometrial stromal hyperplasia forming a small polyp composed of dense endometrial stroma with thick-walled vessels of the arteriolar type (H and E ×4). (d) The intraendometrial lesion of the same case at a higher magnification (H and E ×40).
