What is squamous metaplasia?
Glandular metaplasia is a type of metaplasia where irritated tissue converts to a glandular form. An example occurs in the esophagus, where tissue becomes more similar to the tissue of the stomach. [1] Another example occurs in the urinary bladder. [2]
Metaplasia ( Greek: "change in form") is the transformation of a cell type to another cell type. [1] The change from one type of cell to another may be part of a normal maturation process, or caused by some sort of abnormal stimulus. In simplistic terms, it is as if the original cells are not robust enough to withstand their environment, so ...
Urothelium frequently undergoes squamous or glandular metaplasia, most likely in response to chronic inflammatory stimuli, such as urinary tract infections, calculi, diverticula, or frequent catheterizations.365,366 Squamous metaplasia, especially in the area of the trigone, is common in women; it is thought to occur in response to estrogen and ...
Cystitis glandularis at trigone. Cystitis glandularis is the transformation of mucosal cells lining the urinary bladder. They undergo glandular metaplasia, a process in which irritated tissues take on a different form, in this case that of a gland. [1] The main importance is in the findings of test results, in this case histopathology.
Oct 15, 2013 · It shows pronounced ability to transform morphologically into squamous or glandular epithelium in response to injury, and this constitutes the basis of metaplasia. Metaplasia (Greek: “Change in form”) is the transformation of one differentiated cell type into another, usually in response to a normal maturation process or in response to an ...

This entity is closely related to cystitis cystica, with which it commonly co-exists. It is a relatively common chronic reactive ...
Apr 18, 2023 · Metaplasia is an abnormal condition in which healthy mature cells are replaced by a different kind of mature cell that should not be in that tissue. This is often a result of environmental stressors that cause abnormal changes in these cells. The stressors can vary but include acid, bile, cigarette smoke, inflammation, and various infections ...
