Name of entity

• Ideally should be World Health Organization (WHO) name.
  • E.g. pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, not malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
• Names should reflect the pathogenesis as is understood currently.
  • E.g. keratocystic odontogenic tumour, not odontogenic keratocyst.
• The use of common misnomers is discouraged.
  • Some terms are tolerated... if they are very common, e.g. pyogenic granuloma (better term would be lobular capillary hemangioma).
• Other names are listed under the heading with also known as (AKA).

Microscopic (heading)

• The key feature(s) should be marked.
  • Definition: A key feature is a distinctive common feature that strongly favours the given diagnosis and whose absense would strongly disfavour the diagnosis or exclude it.
    • Examples:
      1. Eosinophils in eosinophilic esophagitis.
      2. Nuclear atypia at the free surface in tubular adenoma.
