Nuclear pleomorphism
Active
Description
The degree of nuclear pleomorphism (variability of nuclei) in breast carcinoma is one component of the Nottingham histologic grade (NHG) [LOINC: 44648-4], which is a prognostic indicator for patients with breast carcinoma. The two other components of the NHG are tubule formation [LOINC: 85321-8] and mitotic activity [LOINC: 85300-2]. Increasing degrees of pleomorphism are associated with increasingly aggressive cancers, with scores assigned as follows:
1 = no pleomorphism
2 = moderate pleomorphism
3 = extensive pleomorphism
