7
Q
Focal
A
- 1 singular lesion
8
Q
Multifocal to coalescing
A
- multiple lesions which merge together to create even larger lesions
9
Q
Diffuse
A
- total involvement of a tissue
10
Q
Multifocal
A
- multiple lesions throughout an organ separated by unaffected tissue
11
Q
Locally extensive
A
- almost total involvement of a tissue
12
Q
Morphologic diagnosis
A
- organ
+ severity (mild/moderate/severe)
+ timing (acute/subacute/chronic)
+ distribution (focal/multifocal/segmental/diffuse)
+ process (-itis/-osis)
the MD of neoplasms and malformations is the name of the neoplasia or the name of the malformation with no other descriptions
