Notes: | |||
*There are no clear criteria for atypia. Different sources list different features. | |||
*VL criteria for atypia: | |||
*#Increased NC ratio | |||
*#*Atypical: ~ 1:2 | |||
*#*Not atypical: ~1:3. | |||
*#Oval nuclei with small major axis to minor axis ratio. | |||
*#*Atypical: major axis:minor axis = <=2:1. | |||
*#*Not atypical: major axis:minor axis = >=3:1 | |||
*#**NB: round nuclei: major axis:minor axis = 1:1. | |||
*#Nucleoli. | |||
