PATHOLOGY

Fibroadenoma is classified as: Malignant epithelial tumor. Benign biphasic fibroglandular tumor. Mesenchymal sarcoma. Inflammatory lesion.

One of the most important pathologic findings of fibroadenoma is: Surface ulceration. Encapsulated lesion. Necrosis. Anaplasia.

The ducts in fibroadenoma are lined by: Atypical malignant cells. Squamous cells. Bland epithelial cells. Giant cells.

In fibroadenoma, the myoepithelial layer is: Destroyed. Absent. Preserved. Calcified.

When fibrous stroma surrounds the ducts, this pattern is called: Intracanalicular. Pericanalicular. Cribriform. Papillary.

Compression of ducts into elongated and star-shaped spaces in fibroadenoma is called: Pericanalicular. Cribriform. Intracanalicular. Tubular.

Adenocarcinoma is a: Benign stromal lesion. Malignant epithelial tumor. Reactive hyperplasia. Cystic lesion.

A common surface finding in adenocarcinoma is: Capsule formation. Ulceration. Calcification. Hemorrhage only.

The glands in adenocarcinoma are: Uniform and regular. Absent. Variable in shape and size. Surrounded by normal capsule.

A key malignant feature in adenocarcinoma is: Preserved myoepithelial layer. Encapsulation. Anaplasia and invasion. Bland epithelial lining.

The classic “Swiss-cheese pattern” is seen in: Adenocarcinoma. Endometrial hyperplasia. Papilloma. Hmangioma.

2) Endometrial hyperplasia is considered: Malignant epithelial tumor. Benign mesenchymal tumor. Adaptive hyperplasia. Granulomatous inflammation.

Mitotic activity in both glands and stroma is characteristic of: Thyroid nodular hyperplasia. Endometrial hyperplasia. Papillary carcinoma. Cavernous hemangioma.

Increased gland-to-stroma ratio is typical of: Bilharzial cystitis. Endometrial hyperplasia. SCC. Thrombus.

Acini with cystic dilatation and papillary infoldings are suggestive of: Prostatic hyperplasia. Thyroid hyperplasia. Papilloma. Hemangioma.

Nodules of thyroid acini distended with colloid indicate: Thyroid adenocarcinoma. Nodular goiter. Papillary carcinoma. Thyroiditis.

Large vascular spaces filled with RBCs is typical of: Lymphangioma. Cavernous hemangioma. Papilloma. Fibroadenoma.

Large vascular spaces filled with lymph indicate: Hemangioma. Lymphangioma. Thrombus. Granuloma.

A benign vascular hamartoma in the liver is: Cavernous hemangioma. Fibroadenoma. Adenocarcinoma. Papilloma.

Keratin pearls are characteristic of: Adenocarcinoma. Transitional cell carcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma. Papilloma.

Malignant polygonal cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm suggest: SCC. Fibroadenoma. Hemangioma. Hyperplasia.

Bilharzial ova in the lamina propria are seen in: Acute appendicitis. Bilharzial cystitis. Endometrial hyperplasia. Papilloma.

Brunn’s nests are seen in: Papillary urothelial carcinoma. Bilharzial cystitis. SCC. Fibroadenoma.

Papillomatosis with fibrovascular core indicates: Papilloma. SCC. Adenocarcinoma. Hyperplasia.

More than 7 layers of neoplastic urothelium suggest: Papilloma. Urothelial carcinoma. Hyperplasia. Fibroadenoma.

Acute diffuse suppurative inflammation describes: Appendicitis. Papilloma. Hemangioma. Hyperplasia.

Transmural neutrophilic infiltration is a feature of: Acute appendicitis. Chronic cystitis. Adenocarcinoma. Papilloma.

Lines of Zahn are diagnostic of: Embolus. Thrombus. Hematoma. Infarction.

Pale lines in a thrombus represent: RBCs. Fibrin and platelets. Neutrophils. Macrophages.

Surface ulceration with invasion of deeper layers is typical of: Hyperplasia. Malignant epithelial tumors. Hemangioma. Lymphangioma.
