The most common type; often associated with hormonal imbalance or obesity.

2. Serous Carcinoma

A more aggressive form; usually requires multimodality treatment.

3. Clear Cell Carcinoma

Rare but fast-growing; managed with advanced treatment approaches.

4. Carcinosarcoma (MMMT)

A combination of carcinoma and sarcoma components; requires intensive therapy.
