Microscopic (heading)[edit] 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: Eosinophils in eosinophilic esophagitis. Nuclear atypia at the free surface in tubular adenoma. See also[edit] Libre Pathology. References.
