A member asked:
What is the definition or description of: pleomorphic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many shapes: We use the term pleomorphic often in pathology; it literally means "many shapes". Pleomorphic cells in a tumor may tell of the genetic instability that's central to cancer, but the benign pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary glands merely has many different tissue types. The context gives the meaning.
