Complex hyperplasia: Endometrium is thicker. The gland are crowded and arranged back to back with reduced stroma. Most glands have irregular outlines. There are papillary processes and intraluminal bridges within the glands. Epithelial pseudostratification is present.
Atypical hyperplasia: The endometrial glands have cytologic atypia. The gland outlines are of complex hyperplasia in type.
