===Anaplasia=== | |||
Criteria: | |||
#Hyperchromatic nuclei with size variation greater or equal to 3x. | |||
#Multipolar (atypical) mitotic figures. | |||
Subclassification: | |||
#Focal - a few cells. | |||
#Diffuse - cluster or sheets of anaplasia. | |||
Notes: | |||
*Not subtle - can identify at low power. | |||
*Seen in 10-15% of RMS. | |||
**More common in older individuals. | |||
*Poorer prognosis in embryonal RMS. | |||
**No change in prognosis in alveolar RMS. | |||
