Cell Types
Kulchitsky cells in the gastrointestinal tract represent this type of cell.
neuroendocrine cells
Infectious esophagitis is most commonly caused by this infectious agent.
Candida
The term lacunae is a histologic term for the pattern of this type of formation within an empty space in cell blocks.
Gland formation
CA-125 is a useful marker in effusions to help identify cells from this organ.
Ovary
The GI tract is a muscular tube lined by a this type of membrane.
mucous
Tart cells are associated with this condition.
Lupus
This is the most common risk factor for the development of most oral cancers in the United States.
tobacco use
True or false: An increase in the number of single cells Barrett's disease of the esophagus is associated more with high grade dysplasia than low grade dysplasia.
True
DOG-1 is a confirmatory stain for this type of GI tumor.
gastrointestinal stromal tumors
This type of epithelium lines the normal esophagus and is well-suited to resist mechanical stress from swallowing.
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Lacy, vacuolated edges are common classic features of this cell type.
Mesothelial cells
GERD is a major risk factor for the development of this condition.
Barrett Esophagus
A gastric washing consists of numerous groupings and single round cells, with enlarged, eccentric nuclei-pushed to one side-and prominent nucleoli in a background of abundant mucinous material. This pattern is most diagnostic of _________.
signet ring adenocarcinoma
CD10 is useful in identifying stromal cells that are diagnostic for this condition in peritoneal effusions.
Endometriosis
The mucosal layer of the GI tract is composed of these three layers.
epithelium, lamina propria, muscularis
Tzanck cells in the oral cavity are associated with this condition.
pemphigus vulgaris
Patients with adenomatous polyps have the highest risk of developing into this malignancy.
adenocarcinoma of the colon
A lymphocytic predominance with few mesothelial cells in a pleural effusion is diagnostic of this condition.
tuberculosis
Flow cytometry is positive for CD20, CD43, and CD19 but negative for CD5 and CD10 for this malignancy.
Gastric lymphoma
Cells in the gastrointestinal tract with primarily secretory properties are located primarily in this part of the GI tract.
stomach
These cells in the stomach are responsible for producing proenzymes for lipase.
Chief cells
Betel nut consumption is most often associated with the development of this cancer type.
oral carcinomas
The main cytologic presentation for this condition in a pleural effusion is a cytologic pattern of necrotic debris, epithelioid macrophages, and multinucleated giant cells in a background of scanty mesothelial cells.
rheumatoid disease
Vimentin is an intermediate filament for mesenchymal tissue and confirms mesenchymal origin of this type of malignancy in the stomach.
Leiomyoma
Cells of Cajal are pacemaker cells that control this process.
the movement of food in digestion
