Decidualization due to oral contraceptive pill use. H&E stain. (WC)
Decidua in a lymph node may mimic metastatic carcinoma. H&E stain. (WC)

Decidualized endometrium is endometrium with changes due to progestins. It is a physiological response seen in pregnancy.

Non-physiological changes are referred to by some as pseudodecidualization or pseudodecidualized endometrium.[1]
