Cell dysplasia is a currently used term describing various cellular developmental abnormalities visible by microscopy. However, detailed description of these developmental abnormalities might provide useful information not only on the cell state but also on the abnormal developmental steps of cell lineages, tissues and organs. The frequently noted visualized cell dysplastic features reflect nuclear- or nucleolar-cytoplasmic anarchy (asynchrony), premature heterochromatin condensation state, marked aneuploidy, abnormal nucleus-cytoplasm ratio, abnormality of cell organelles including mitochondria, abnormal presence or absence of cell lineage-specific granules, and formation of peripheral buds or blebbing on the cell surface. The description of these frequently occurring cell dysplastic features might also be helpful in recognizing and studying defined specific disorders of the “whole macro-body” expressed as a disease.
