What are the Histological Characteristics of Metastatic Cells?
Histologically, metastatic cells often exhibit features that distinguish them from normal cells and even from the primary tumor. These features include:
Anaplasia: Lack of differentiation and abnormal cell structure. Hyperchromatism: Increased staining intensity due to higher DNA content. Pleomorphism: Variability in cell size and shape. Mitotic figures: Increased number of cells undergoing mitosis.
