Epithelial dysplasia is a term used to describe abnormal growth of cells in the epithelial tissues, which can lead to the development of cancer. Some synonyms for this condition include atypical hyperplasia, precancerous lesions, and dysplastic epithelium. In medical literature, the term "neoplasm" is also used to describe this condition, which refers to the abnormal proliferation of cells that may be benign or malignant. Other similar terms that may be used include carcinoma in situ and intraepithelial neoplasia. It is important to monitor any signs of epithelial dysplasia and seek medical attention if there are any concerns, as early detection and treatment can prevent complications and the development of cancer.
