C. High-grade dysplasia, here called high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) D. Squamous cell carcinoma , infiltrating the stroma (middle and left in image), and HSIL (right in image) Epithelial dysplasia , a term becoming increasingly referred to as intraepithelial neoplasia , is the sum of various disturbances of epithelial ...
Epithelium or epithelial tissue is a thin, continuous, protective layer of cells with little extracellular matrix. An example is the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. Epithelial (mesothelial) tissues line the outer surfaces of many internal organs, the corresponding inner surfaces of body cavities, and the inner surfaces of blood vessels.
Epitheliomas can be benign growths or malignant carcinomas. They are classified according to the specific type of epithelial cells that are affected. [1] The most common epitheliomas are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (skin cancers). [1]
Of solid tumor neoplasms, ovarian cancer is most likely to provoke eosinophilia, though any other cancer can cause the condition. [3] Solid epithelial cell tumors have been shown to cause both tissue and blood eosinophilia, with some reports indicating that this may be mediated by interleukin production by tumor cells, especially IL-5 or IL-3.

Dysplastic cells. Dysplasia is any of various types of abnormal growth or development of cells (microscopic scale) or organs (macroscopic scale), and the abnormal histology or anatomical structure (s) resulting from such growth. [1] Dysplasias on a mainly microscopic scale include epithelial dysplasia and fibrous dysplasia of bone.
The cause of CIN is chronic infection of the cervix with HPV, especially infection with high-risk HPV types 16 or 18. It is thought that the high-risk HPV infections have the ability to inactivate tumor suppressor genes such as the p53 gene and the RB gene, thus allowing the infected cells to grow unchecked and accumulate successive mutations, eventually leading to cancer.
Signs and symptoms. On gastroscopy, glycogenic acanthosis is seen as a multitude of small white raised plaques of 2 mm to 10 mm in size, which may be seen throughout the esophagus. They tend to occur on esophageal folds, and may be missed if the esophagus is not well distended with air. It may be seen on esophageal x-rays; it is not seen on ...
The intestinal epithelium is the single cell layer that forms the luminal surface (lining) of both the small and large intestine (colon) of the gastrointestinal tract. Composed of simple columnar epithelium its main functions are absorption, and secretion. Useful substances are absorbed into the body, and the entry of harmful substances is ...
