«“A neoplasm is an abnormal mass of tissue,
the growth of which exceeds and is
uncoordinated with that of the normal tissues
and persists in the same excessive manner
even after cessation of the stimuli which
evoked the change.”

*Increased mitotic rate (less(doubling time)
and slower death rate. ¡e. cel production
exceeds the cell loss.
*Sometimes tumour cells in the centre of the
tumour do not receive adequate nourishment
and undergo ischaemic necrosis.

is directly proportionate to the degree of
differentiation.

Differentiation
Differentiation is defined as the extent of morphological and
| aii resemblance of tumour cells to corresponding normal
cells.
1. _ If resemblance of tumor cell to normal cell is more > ‘well-
differentiated’
2. _ If resemblance of tumor cell to normal cell is moderate >
‘moderately -differentiated’
3. If resemblance of tumor cell to normal cell is minimal >
‘poorly-differentiated’
4. If no resemblance of tumor cell to normal cell is more >
‘Undifferentiated’

dividing
Dr. PRIYANKA SACHDEV
Mutation of a cell ne. Generally, mutanons that
‘occur earty ın the differentiation process result in poorly differen-
tiated neoplasms and those that appear late in the differentiation
process result in relatively well-differentiated neoplasms.
Dr. PRIYANKA SACHDEV
Anaplasi
*Anaplasia is lack of differentiation
¢Characteristic feature of malignant tumours
*Anaplasia is considered as a hallmark of
malignanttransformation,
+ It is irreversible
Dr. PRIYANKA SACHDEV
*Depends upon the degree of
differentiation i.e. poorly differentiated
malignant tumours have high degree of
anaplasia.
