Micrograph showing apocrine metaplasia of the breast with typical features [3] H&E stain. Barrett's esophagus is an abnormal change in the cells of the lower esophagus, thought to be caused by damage from chronic stomach acid exposure. The following table lists some common tissues susceptible to metaplasia, and the stimuli that can cause the ...
Apocrine-like cells form in a lining of developing microcysts, due to the pressure buildup within the lumen. The pressure build up is caused by secretions. [ 5 ] This type of metaplasia represents an exception to the common rule of metaplasia increasing the risk for developing cancer in that apocrine metaplasia doesn't increase the possibility ...
While there is no consensus on the criteria used for its diagnosis, ADCIS is most often defined as a non-invasive breast tumor consisting of lactiferous ducts that are filled with neoplastic apocrine cells; [4] the cells in these tumors, similar to those in PACB, are estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone-receptor negative, and, in at least ...
Micrograph showing apocrine metaplasia of the breast with typical features [5] H&E stain. The exact mechanism of the condition is not fully understood, though it is known to be tied to hormone level fluctuation; the condition usually subsides after menopause and is closely related to the menstrual cycle.
Micrograph showing apocrine-type metaplasia of the breast with typical oncocytes. [2] H&E stain. Oncocytes (left of image), as seen in a renal oncocytoma. H&E stain. An oncocyte is an epithelial cell characterized by an excessive number of mitochondria, resulting in an abundant acidophilic, granular cytoplasm. Oncocytes can be benign or malignant.
These classifications are spindle cell, squamous cells, matrix-producing, carcinosarcoma, and MBC with osteoclastic giant cell. Another research group, Oberman et al., proposed a classification system consisting of spindle cell carcinoma, invasive ductal carcinoma with extensive squamous metaplasia, and invasive ductal carcinoma with ...
Goblet cells are simple columnar epithelial cells that secrete gel-forming mucins, like mucin 2 in the lower gastrointestinal tract, and mucin 5AC in the respiratory tract. [1] The goblet cells mainly use the merocrine method of secretion, secreting vesicles into a duct, but may use apocrine methods, budding off their secretions, when under ...
