  2. Metaplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaplasia

    Intestinal metaplasia is a premalignant condition that increases the risk for subsequent gastric cancer. [4] Intestinal metaplasia lesions with an active DNA damage response will likely undergo extended latency in the premalignant state until further damaging hits override the DNA damage response leading to clonal expansion and progression. [4]

  3. Metaplastic carcinoma - Wikipedia

    Metaplastic carcinoma, otherwise known as metaplastic breast cancer (MBC), is a heterogeneous group of cancers that exhibit varied patterns of metaplasia and differentiation along multiple cell lines.

    Intestinal metaplasia is the transformation of epithelium (usually of the stomach or the esophagus) into a type of epithelium resembling that found in the intestine. In the esophagus, this is called Barrett's esophagus .

  5. Cellular adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_adaptation

    Metaplasia occurs when a cell of a certain type is replaced by another cell type, which may be less differentiated. It is a reversible process thought to be caused by stem cell reprogramming. Stem cells are found in epithelia and embryonic mesenchyme of connective tissue. A prominent example of metaplasia involves the changes associated with ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett's_esophagus

    Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which there is an abnormal (metaplastic) change in the mucosal cells lining the lower portion of the esophagus, from stratified squamous epithelium to simple columnar epithelium with interspersed goblet cells that are normally present only in the small intestine and large intestine.

  7. Squamous metaplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squamous_metaplasia

    Squamous metaplasia may be seen in the context of benign lesions (e.g., atypical polypoid adenomyoma), chronic irritation, or cancer (e.g., endometrioid endometrial carcinoma), as well as pleomorphic adenoma.

    Cystitis glandularis at trigone. Cystitis glandularis is the transformation of mucosal cells lining the urinary bladder.They undergo glandular metaplasia, a process in which irritated tissues take on a different form, in this case that of a gland. [1]

    The latter is a relatively rare form of differentiated thyroid cancer, accounting for only 3-10% of all differentiated thyroid cancers, [7] and was formerly considered a subtype of follicular thyroid cancer. The mitochondrial DNA of Hürthle cell carcinoma contain somatic mutations. [6] Hürthle cell carcinomas consists of at least 75% Hürthle ...
