# | # Lack of surface maturation. | ||
#* | #*Lack of lighter staining at surface. | ||
#*Nuclear crowding. | #*Nuclear crowding at surface. | ||
#* | #*Nuclei at the surface not smaller. | ||
# | # Architecture - esp. at low power. | ||
#* | #* Glands not round. | ||
#** Low-grade feature: gland budding. | |||
#** High-grade features: cribriforming, cystic dilation, necrotic debris. | |||
#* Gland density: | |||
#** Increased & round - think low-grade dysplasia. | |||
#** Increased & irregular - think high-grade dysplasia. | |||
# Cytology, esp. at high magnification. | |||
#* Nuclear abnormalities in: size, staining, shape. | |||
#* Loss of "nuclear polarity" = high-grade feature | |||
#** Loss of palisaded appearance, rounding-up of nuclei. | |||
# Inflammation, erosions & ulceration. | |||
#* Marked inflammation should prompt consideration of knocking down the diagnosis one step, i.e. low-grade becomes indefinite ''or'' high-grade becomes low-grade. | |||
