A 24-year-old female presents with excessive menstrual bleeding. The physician identified en-dometrial changes that are due to hormonal imbalances. These cellular changes would be referred to as:
a. dysplasia.
b. pathologic dysplasia.
c. hyperplasia.
d. pathologic hyperplasia.
ANS: D
Because the changes are due to an imbalance, they would be considered pathologic hyperplasia, a term more descriptive than simple hyperplasia. The endometrial changes were not abnormal in size and shape; thus, it is not dysplasia regardless of cause.
