In all cases frozen sections of the tumor was performed to determine the DMI. It was correlated with the feauters in defeinitive sections, histological grade and lymph node involvement.\nResults: Intraoperative study revealed absence of myometrial invasion in 19 cases, IH in 61 and of OH in 13. Definitive study showed absence of myometrial invasion in 9 cases, invasion of the IH in 68 and invasion of the OH in 16. Myometrial invasion showed statistically significant relationship with age, histological grade and lymph node involvement.\nConclusion: intraoperative assessment of myometrial invasion is a useful tool to establish the involvement of the inner or outer half. The absence of myometrial invasion by frozen section is less accurate\nKeywords: Endometrioid adenocarcinoma, myometrial invasion, frozen sections, Endometrioid, Adenocarcinoma, pelvic lymphadenectomy, aortic lymphadenectomy, lymph node, carcinomas, adenomyosis","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
