[[Benign]] and borderline variants are rare, as the majority are [[malignant]]. There is an association with [[endometriosis]] and concurrent primary [[endometrial carcinoma]] ([[endometrial cancer]]). On gross [[pathology|pathological]] examination, the tumor is cystic and may be solid and some arise in cystic endometriosis. In 40% of cases, endometrioid tumors are found bilaterally.<ref>{{cite book |editor1-last=Robbins |editor2-last=Cotran |title=Pathologic Basis of Disease |location=Philadelphia |publisher=Saunders |edition=7th |isbn=978-0-7216-0187-8 |year=2005 }}</ref> ==Endometrium== Endometrioid carcinoma can also arise in the endometrium.<ref name="pmid18156975">{{cite journal |vauthors=Mulvany NJ, Allen DG |title=Combined large cell neuroendocrine and endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium |journal=Int.

Revised: 6 March 2020</ref> ==Molecular biology== ===CTNNB1 and PTEN mutations=== Ovarian and endometrial endometrioid carcinomas have distinct [[CTNNB1]] and PTEN [[mutation|gene mutation]] profiles. [[PTEN (gene)|PTEN]] mutations are more frequent in low-grade endometrial endometrioid carcinomas (67%) compared with low-grade ovarian endometrioid carcinomas (17%). By contrast, CTNNB1 mutations are significantly different in low-grade ovarian endometrioid carcinomas (53%) compared with low-grade endometrial endometrioid carcinomas (28%). This difference in CTNNB1 mutation frequency may be reflective of the distinct [[tumoral microenvironment]]s; the epithelial cells lining an [[endometriotic cyst]] within the [[ovary]] are exposed to a highly [[oxidative stress|oxidative environment]] that promotes [[tumorigenesis]].<ref>{{Cite journal | pmid = 23765252| year = 2014| last1 = McConechy| first1 = M.
