Across
- 2. Cells where the bulbous nucleus bulges into a lumen or space, with the narrow cytoplasm attached to the base
- 6. Cells arranged in cords, beams, or columns
- 7. Large, atypical cells with pale or clear cytoplasm migrating individually or in small clusters through the upper layers of an epithelium
- 11. An architectural pattern that resembles finger-like projections of epithelial cells
- 13. Sheets of cells are punctured by multiple well-defined, round, rigid extracellular spaces
- 14. Cells arranged in nests or clusters that mimic the air sacs of the lungs
- 15. A dense, fibrous, or collagen-rich stromal response triggered by invading tumour cells
- 16. Bundles of cells intersecting at sharp angles, resembling the skeletal pattern of a fish
- 18. Completely enclosed by a distinct outer wall of fibrous connective tissue
- 20. Cells that are round, polygonal, or cuboidal with abundant cytoplasm and distinct cell borders
- 21. Resembling the small, immature cells found at the base of the outer layer of skin and other tissue linings
Down
- 1. Cells arranged in circular, hollow structures, often enclosing a central lumen
- 3. Cells spread widely, uniformly, and randomly throughout a tissue
- 4. Cells organized into parallel bundles or sheets
- 5. Cell arrangement that mimics the regular structural organisation of a normal organ
- 8. Complete loss of standard cellular adhesion
- 9. Marked variation in the size, shape, and staining of cells and their nuclei
- 10. Cells that are elongated, wider in the middle, and tapered at the ends
- 12. Sharply defined, well-demarcated borders
- 17. A growth pattern where cells actively break through tissue boundaries to invade the surrounding stroma
- 19. Composed of two distinct cell lineages or tissue types within the same tumour
