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).

Standard headings

General - this includes, clinical information, prognosis and treatment.
Gross - this includes radiology and endoscopic exams.
Microscopic.
Stains.

    1. Eosinophils in eosinophilic esophagitis.
    2. Nuclear atypia at the free surface in tubular adenoma.
