For patients with endometrial cancer, the POLE (polymerase epsilon) mutation (POLEmut)‐subtype, one of four molecular‐analysis‐based categories in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), has the best prognosis. The following histological characteristics are typically observed in endometroid carcinoma cases with the POLEmut‐subtype: (1) the presence of tumour giant cells, (2) numerous tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and/or peri‐tumoral lymphocytes, and (3) a high grade. However, in the context of cytology, the morphological characteristics of this subtype remain unknown.
