Basal crypt dysplasia, abbreviated BCD, is a dysplastic change reported in the esophagus that involves the crypt bases but not the surface.[1]
It may be referred to as crypt dysplasia-like atypia[2] and crypt dysplasia (abbreviated CD).
The conventional thinking has been that dysplasia always involve the surface epithelium; BCD violates the saying normal is dark deep and light luminal. This entity is consider to be an emerging concept;[3] it is not completely without controversy.
General
- Molecular changes in the crypt base can be identified in the surface cells.[1]
- Strong association with conventional dysplasia/adenocarcinoma.
- In one series, 87% of individual with BCD had dysplasia or adenocarcinoma in other tissue samples.[2]
- Reproducibility among pathologists is worse than high-grade dysplasia but better than low-grade dysplasia.[3]
Microscopic
Features:
- Definite "dysplastic changes" in the crypt base:
- Hyperchromasia - important.
- Nuclear enlargement.
- Nuclear crowding (pseudostratification).
- Non-dysplastic (normal) surface epithelium.[1]
Sign out
- Should be signed out with a commnent.
- Voltaggio et al. advocate it should be treated like low-grade dysplasia (requires a follow-up biopsy).[3]
