The presence of heterogeneous cells in pathological findings often indicates that tissue cells have developed heterogeneous hyperplasia (also often called atypical hyperplasia), which is often a precancerous lesion.
Atypical hyperplasia mainly refers to the abnormal hyperplasia of epithelial cells observed under the microscope, such as abnormal cell morphology, disordered arrangement, etc., but the characteristic pathological nuclear division phenomenon of cancer has not been seen.
It is generally believed that from normal cells to tumor cell generation has to go through a process, i.e. normal cells – hyperplasia – atypical hyperplasia – carcinoma in situ – invasive carcinoma. It can be seen that atypical hyperplasia is the intermediate point from normal cells to malignant tumors, and this process lasts longer and can be reversed, and is divided into mild, moderate and severe atypical hyperplasia, and the moderate degree is often transformed into cancer.
Atypical hyperplasia is usually asymptomatic, often found during physical examination, and treatment depends on the extent of the lesion. Mild and moderate asymptomatic asymptomatic without treatment, regular follow-up; moderate and severe can be treated accordingly. For example, moderate atypical hyperplasia of the gastric mucosa can be treated with drugs such as omeprazole.
Specific disease diagnosis and treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a physician.
