  2. Urinalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinalysis

    Epithelial cells form the lining of the urinary tract. Three types may occur in urine: squamous epithelial cells, transitional epithelial cells and renal tubular epithelial cells. Some laboratories do not distinguish between the three types of cells and simply report "epithelial cells" in general. [104]

  3. Urine cytology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_cytology

    Urine typically contains epithelial cells shed from the urinary tract, and urine cytology evaluates this urinary sediment for the presence of cancerous cells [2] [3] from the lining of the urinary tract, and it is a convenient noninvasive technique for follow-up analysis of patients treated for urinary tract cancers.

  4. Epithelial dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelial_dysplasia

    Examples of epithelial dysplasia include cervical intraepithelial neoplasia – a disorder commonly detected by an abnormal pap smear) consisting of an increased population of immature (basal-like) cells which are restricted to the mucosal surface, and have not invaded through the basement membrane to the deeper soft tissues.

  5. Dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysplasia

    Normal squamous cells Dysplastic cells. Dysplasia is any of various types of abnormal growth or development of cells (microscopic scale) or organs (macroscopic scale), and the abnormal histology or anatomical structure(s) resulting from such growth. [1] Dysplasias on a mainly microscopic scale include epithelial dysplasia and fibrous dysplasia ...

  6. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_intraepithelial...

    This system provides a uniform way to describe abnormal epithelial cells and determine specimen quality, thus providing clear guidance for clinical management. These abnormalities were classified as squamous or glandular and then further classified by the stage of dysplasia: atypical cells, mild, moderate, severe, and carcinoma. [13]

  7. Bladder cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bladder_cancer

    Bladder cancer is the abnormal growth of cells in the bladder.These cells can grow to form a tumor, which eventually spreads, damaging the bladder and other organs.Most people with bladder cancer are diagnosed after noticing blood in their urine.

  8. Dyskaryosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyskaryosis

    "Dyskaryosis" is a term used for all squamous mucosal surfaces and commonly used for the uterine cervix condition in which some of the epithelial cells near the external orifice show abnormalities in their cellular nuclei. These changes are often quite subtle; often seen as temporary changes between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five.

  9. Koilocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koilocyte

    ThinPrep pap smear with group of normal cervical cells on left and HPV-infected cells showing features typical of koilocytes: enlarged (x2 or x3) nuclei and hyperchromasia. A koilocyte is a squamous epithelial cell that has undergone a number of structural changes, which occur as a result of infection of the cell by human papillomavirus (HPV). [1]
