The mitotic figures are rare.
Histological factors that increase the grade include a high number of mitotic figures, necrosis and local invasion.
These cells are typically arranged along the basement membrane of the tubule, and mitotic figures are frequently seen.
This parameter assesses how many mitotic figures (dividing cells) the pathologist sees in 10 microscope fields.
If 5 or more mitotic figures are present in 10 high powered fields but the behavior still appears benign, may append "with significant mitotic activity".
Moderate to severe atypia and tumor cell necrosis leiomyosarcoma (mitotic figures don't matter).
Presence of mitotic figures (an unusual number of cells which are currently dividing).
There are usually increased mitotic figures, including atypical forms.
The number of mitotic figures in crypt lining did not show statistically significant difference between the three groups (Table 3).
The tumor is clinically benign, although it may display nuclear atypia, dyskeratotic cells, and mitotic figures.
