The short answer is, a problem for whatever the sample was removed from. Breaking down the phrase, we have:

1. Discohesive (pronounced dis-co-HE-sive) - the cells are not organized (cohesive); the cells are arranged in an abnormal pattern

2. Clusters - the cells are making little islands of themselves rather than arranging as a continuous sheet or structure

3. Atypical - not normal; showing signs of genetic or structural changes

4. Epithelial - a cell classification associated with the linings of organs as well as with the production of enzymes or hormones

Putting everything back together, you have abnormal, organ lining or organ forming cells that are not organized and are gathered into little groups. In practical terms, this is likely either a cancer or a pre-cancerous growth that is invading and expanding into the local normal tissues.

New surface epithelial cells and epithelial cells lining the intestines are derived from where?

New surface epithelial cells are derived from stem cells located in the basal layer of the epithelium. Epithelial cells lining the intestines are derived from stem cells located in the intestinal crypts.


What does mild atypical cells mean?

Mild atypical cells refers to abnormal cells that are slightly different in appearance from normal cells when examined under a microscope. While they may not definitively indicate a serious condition, further evaluation or monitoring may be recommended to rule out any potential risks or concerns for the individual's health.


What does rare epithelial in sputum result mean?

Squamous epithelial cells are scale like layers of cells that pose no risk. When referencing rare squamous epithelial cells it just means that there are not a lot of them.


In adults new surface epithelial cells and the epithelial cells lining the intestine are derived from?

In adults, new surface epithelial cells and the epithelial cells lining the intestine are derived from stem cells located in the basal region of the epithelium. These stem cells continuously divide and differentiate to replace damaged or lost cells, maintaining the integrity and function of the tissue.


Do Epithelial cells have ribosomes?

Yes, epithelial cells have ribosomes. Ribosomes are essential organelles responsible for protein synthesis in all types of cells, including epithelial cells, which line the surfaces of organs and body cavities. These ribosomes synthesize proteins that help maintain the structure and function of the epithelial cells.

What is atypical cells?

Atypical cells are cells that appear to be abnormal and need further testing to determine why they are abnormal. Sometimes these cells can end up being cancer but not all atypical cells will.

Results from a ear culture What does 2 plus epithelial cells no WBC seen 1 plus gram positive cocci in clusters?

Epithelial cells are just normal skin cells.WBC stands for White Blood Cells. WBCs play an important role in fighting infection. You normally would not expect them to show up in an ear. They would normally show up in a blood test.Gram Positive Cocci in clusters means that they have found clusters of germs. Cocci are part of a family of germs that look like round dots under a microscope. Gram Pos cocci are easier to treat with antibiotics than Gram Neg cocci.


What is the shape of cheek epithelial cells?

The cheek epithelial cells are flat and irregularly shaped. They are polygonal squamous cells that have a very thin membrane.
