without connective tissue cover/covering of connective tissue Explanation: That would be my hunch, as "stroma" in this context seems to refer to connective tissue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroma |

[without] stromal infiltration Explanation: As there is not more context available I would not like to stick my neck out too far, therfore the 'Low'. However, I do not think that 'Bezug' means 'cover' or 'covering' here. 'Bezug' = 'Beziehung' also means 'relationship, connection'. Hence my suggestion of a more free translation as: atypical epithelial cell clusters without stromal infiltration The high power microphotograph is showing that the papilla ry epithelium is irregular and stratified with atypical cells compared to those seen in serous cystadenom as. Papillary projections with multilayered, atypical epithelium without stromal infiltration are typical of tumors with borderline malignancy. http://folk.uio.no/steinrod/kompendie/Patohisto 9th semester... Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) is a neoplastic transformation of the epithelium lining the ductal units of the gland without stromal infiltration. http://cancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/64/7_Supplement/30... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2016-03-20 12:30:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could perhaps also phrase it like that: 'atypical epithelial cell clusters without stromal involvement'. For example: It can be described as melamin pigment within prostatic epithelial cells with or without stromal involvement ... https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7P0fcrbwpvAC&pg=PA198&lp...

| ohne Stromabezug not respecting stromal architecture Explanation: Still relatively little context available – my guess is: a description of low grade adenocarcinoma of the lungs? Atypical epithelial cells are not lined up one by one to cover the connective tissue fibrous meshwork of the bronchioles and alveoli, their arrangement becomes more and more independent from the stromal pattern. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day7 hrs (2016-03-21 09:08:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "To provide more context at this point, the patient has hepatic and lymphatic metastasizing bronchial carcinoma. Microscopic histology work revealed these embedded clusters of atypically configured polygonal cells in necrotic tissue within the respiratory mucosa." In that case it is obviously not a low-grade carcinoma, but an advanced stage and I am not sure at all that my initial suggestion would work. Stromal architecture (in the sense of normal architecture of lung connective tissue) is usually not preserved anyway in necrotic tissue, nothing there that these cell clusters may or may not respect. On the other hand, bronchial carcinoma in particular contains a fair amount of connective tissue of its own (=tumor stroma), with newly-formed vessels for tumor supply. "Stromabezug" might then mean (as Sanni suggested) "not accompanied by (tumorous) stromal tissue". Apriori, neither statement seems to make significant sense; and given the rather unusual wording of the source text I would like to change my proposed answer to: Supply a literal translation (such as "without reference to stromal tissue") and make a translator's note. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day15 hrs (2016-03-21 17:47:26 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanks - seems a perfect case to make a point for context (which is more than the words before and after the term in question ;-)) |
