ENDOCERVICAL GLANDS
Colonic polyp
stalk
Projecting into colonic
lumen
Used for
malignant neoplasms
Contains epithelial cells forming ducts & myxoid stroma resembles cartilage
Differ from
normal cells
Called
Atypical
"It is benign"
Cancerous glands :
Irregular (shape, size)
Not resemble normal colonic glands

Cellular & nuclear pleomorphism, Cellular nuclear variation (size & shape),
hyperchromatic nuclei prominent cell
Tumor giant cells Center field : abnormal tripolar
A. Entire thickness of the epithelium is replaced by atypical dysplastic cells. There is no orderly differentiation of squamous cells.
The basement membrane is intact & no tumor in the subepithelial stroma
B. Failure of normal differentiation, marked nuclear and cellular pleomorphism, and numerous mitotic figures extending toward the
surface. The basement membrane (below) is not seen in this section.
