What is lymphoid hyperplasia in the nasopharynx?
Lymphoid hyperplasia in the nasopharynx refers to an increase in the size or number of lymphoid tissues in that region. It can be a benign response to various infections or inflammations. However, in some cases, it may be associated with conditions like nasopharyngeal cancer.
Is basosquamous cell hyperplasia malignant?
Basosquamous cell hyperplasia is not considered malignant. It is a benign condition where there is a mixture of basal and squamous cells in the skin, often found in the context of chronic sun exposure. However, if left untreated or if it progresses, it could potentially develop into a skin cancer.
Do Both hyperplasia and hypertrophy cause an increase in the size of a tissue or organ?
Yes, both hyperplasia and hypertrophy lead to an increase in the size of a tissue or organ, but they do so through different mechanisms. Hyperplasia involves an increase in the number of cells, while hypertrophy refers to an increase in the size of existing cells. These processes can occur independently or together, depending on the specific physiological or pathological conditions involved.
Do hyperplasia of muscle cells occur in all muscle types?
Hyperplasia affects the all types of muscle cells.
What is the correct order in which breast cancer develops?
Breast cancer typically develops in stages, starting with normal breast cells mutating into abnormal cells (hyperplasia), then progressing to non-invasive breast cancer (carcinoma in situ), and finally to invasive breast cancer, where the cancer cells invade surrounding breast tissue and can potentially spread to other parts of the body (metastasis).
Is lymphoid hyperplasia a cancer?

An abnormal increase in the number of normal cells in normal arrangement in a tissue is known as?

What risk factors for uterine cancer are there?
Other risk factors for uterine cancer include: endometrial hyperplasia, sexual inactivity, undergoing menopause after age 59 years, and never having had children.
What is the difference between hyperplasia and hypertrophy?
Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue, leading to its enlargement, whereas hypertrophy is an increase in the size of existing cells in an organ or tissue. Both processes contribute to the growth of tissues, but through different mechanisms.
What is lymphoid hyperplasia in the nasopharynx?
Lymphoid hyperplasia in the nasopharynx refers to an increase in the size or number of lymphoid tissues in that region. It can be a benign response to various infections or inflammations. However, in some cases, it may be associated with conditions like nasopharyngeal cancer.
What is mild atypical melanocytic hyperplasia?
Mild atypical melanocytic hyperplasia refers to the presence of slightly abnormal melanocytes (skin cells that produce pigment) in the skin. While these cells may appear different under a microscope, they do not show signs of malignancy or cancer. However, close monitoring is often recommended to ensure there are no changes over time.
What is the difference between pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia and epithelial hyperplasia?
Type your answer here... Pseudoepithelimatous hyperplasia histologically mimics squamous cell carcinoma but its not in case of epithelial hyperplasia.Eg of former includes histoplasmosis,blastomycosis,Tb,Syphilis etc..
Can a enlarged prostate cause prostate cancer?
Not necessarily, a prostate can become enlarged over time, especially in older men. This is called BPH (BenignProstatic Hyperplasia). This condition can cause symptoms such as slowed urine flow, general discomfort in the pelvic and lower back region. These same symptoms can be present in the case of cancer as well. But the two conditions are completely different.
