This case illustrates how routine immunohistochemistry can provide important insights into underlying molecular events in cancers, exemplifies an uncommon co-existence of DNA mismatch repair protein deficiency and p53-aberrant immunophenotype in low-grade endometrioid carcinoma, illustrates morphologic differences between p53-aberrant and p53-wild type areas within in the same tumor, and is an exemplar of the emerging theory that lymph node metastases of endometrial cancer may be comprised of different subclones of the primary tumor. This evidence concerns the gene TP53 and endometrioid adenocarcinoma.
