Narrative
). As with atypical tubule hyperplasia, in A-V hyperplasia the proliferating cells are considered to be within the confines of a single renal tubule. If the cells proliferate beyond the confines of a single tubule, the lesion is considered a neoplasm (adenoma or carcinoma). A-V hyperplasia has been postulated to be a familial condition in rats, which may progress to tumors.Frazier KS, Seely JC, Hard GC, Betton G, Burnett R, Nakatsuji S, Nishikawa A, Durchfeld-Meyer B, Bube A. 2012.
