In dysplasia mitotic figures are seen in_________________?

Correct answer: C. From basal layer to surface

  • A. In basal layers of epithelium
  • B. In surface layers only
  • C. From basal layer to surface
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

Dysplasia causes loss of normal maturation, so mitotic figures are found above the basal layer and may extend toward the epithelial surface. Mitoses confined to the basal layer are normal in many stratified epithelia.
