Nose, Epithelium - Hyperplasia, Atypical




comment:
Atypical hyperplasia ( Figure 1




recommendation:
Atypical hyperplasia is an important finding that should be diagnosed whenever present and assigned a severity grade. When atypia occurs within a metaplastic lesion, the metaplasia should be diagnosed, but the modifier "atypical" should be added to the diagnosis (e.g., Nose, Olfactory epithelium - Metaplasia, Respiratory, Atypical). The type of epithelium affected should be included in the diagnosis as a site modifier (i.e., squamous, transitional, respiratory, or olfactory epithelium).related links:
