Abstract
The literature cited and texts consulted yield no descriptions that would identify gross features specific to rat or other endometrial adenocarcinomas with squamous differentiation benign or malignant. Squamous differentiation confers no distinctive gross features. Endometrial adenocarcinoma with squamous differentiation is not a species-specific neoplasm. The following is a composite from observations in humans and laboratory animals, applicable to endometrial adenocarcinoma with or without squamous differentiation (Kurman and Norris 1982; Deerberg et al. 1981; Demopoulos 1977; Campbell et al. 1961).
