Answer:
Anaplasia
Step-by-step explanation:
Anaplasia refers to the loss of cell differentiation, which occurs when cells that were previously mature and differentiated become undifferentiated and immature in appearance and behavior. Anaplasia is a fundamental point for the emergence of malignant diseases. Anaplasia is characterized by:
- Cellular Pleomorphism: variation of shape and size of cells and their nuclei.
- Hyperchromasia: very dark colored nuclei.
- Abundant Mitoses: Indicates Proliferative Activity
- Polarity Loss: Formation of tumor masses that grow in an unorganized manner.
- Giant Tumor Cells: They have only one huge single polymorphic nucleus, with two or more nuclei. (Not to be confused with foreign body giant cells or inflammatory Langhans cells)
