1. Dysplasia

   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. Dysplasias on a mainly microscopic scale include epithelial dysplasia and fibrous dysplasia of bone. Dysplasias on a mainly macroscopic scale include hip dysplasia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and multicystic dysplastic kidney. In one of the modern histopathological senses of the term, dysplasia is sometimes differentiated from other categories of tissue change including hyperplasia, metaplasia, and neoplasia, and dysplasias are thus generally not cancerous. An exception is that the myelodysplasias include a range of benign, precancerous, and cancerous forms. Various other dysplasias tend to be precancerous. The word's meanings thus cover a spectrum of histopathological variations.

1. dysplasia

   Dysplasia refers to the presence of cells within a tissue that have abnormal growth or development, often resulting from an initial irritation or inflammation. It is typically recognized as an early indication of potential cancer development, particularly in tissues like the cervix, respiratory tract or the digestive tract. However, dysplasia does not always progress to cancer, and may remain stable or even regress. The severity of dysplasia is categorized as low-grade or high-grade, depending on the degree of cell abnormality.

1. Dysplasia

   Dysplasia is a term used in pathology to refer to an abnormality of development. This generally consists of an expansion of immature cells, with a corresponding decrease in the number and location of mature cells. Dysplasia is often indicative of an early neoplastic process. The term dysplasia is typically used when the cellular abnormality is restricted to the originating tissue, as in the case of an early, in-situ neoplasm. Dysplasia, in which cell maturation and differentiation are delayed, can be contrasted with metaplasia, in which cells of one mature, differentiated type are replaced by cells of another mature, differentiated type. The terms hip dysplasia and fibrous dysplasia also refer to abnormal development, but at a more macroscopic level.
