What is reactive epithelial atypia?
Reactive epithelial atypia refers to benign changes in the cells of the epithelium that can occur as a response to inflammation or injury. These changes may resemble precancerous or cancerous cells under the microscope, but they are not indicative of malignancy. It is important to differentiate reactive atypia from true dysplasia or carcinoma to avoid unnecessary treatment.
What does reactive atypia means?

Solar Elastosis with Mild Epidermal Atypia?
Solar elastosis refers to degenerative changes in the skin caused by chronic sun exposure, leading to thickened, leathery skin with loss of elasticity and increased wrinkles. Mild epidermal atypia indicates some abnormal changes in the top layer of the skin, potentially related to sun damage or other factors. Both findings are commonly associated with aging and prolonged sun exposure, and regular skin checks are recommended to monitor for any concerning changes.
What is focal squamous atypia?
Focal squamous atypia refers to the presence of abnormal, dysplastic changes in a small area of squamous cells. It may indicate early pre-cancerous or cancerous changes, often requiring further evaluation and monitoring. Treatment or removal of the affected tissue may be recommended to prevent progression to more serious conditions.
