(dis-PLAY-zhuh) A term used to describe the presence of abnormal cells within a tissue or organ. Dysplasia is not cancer, but it may sometimes become cancer. Dysplasia can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on how abnormal the cells look under a microscope and how much of the tissue or organ is affected. Enlarge.

Before cancer cells form in tissues of the body, the cells go through abnormal changes called hyperplasia and dysplasia. In hyperplasia, there is an increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue that appear normal under a microscope. In dysplasia, the cells look abnormal under a microscope but are not cancer.

Such conditions include diabetes, bladder cancer, cystitis, urinary tract infection, bladder stones, pelvic prolapse, pelvic tumors, age-related atrophy of bladder muscle and benign prostatic hyperplasia or enlarged prostate. The most common disease process that causes this problem in men is an enlarged prostate.

High grade dysplasia (HGD) refers to precancerous changes in the cells of the esophagus. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can be complicated by Barrett's esophagus (BE), a change in the normal esophageal cells to intestinal-like cells. BE cells can become abnormal or dysplastic.

Dysplasia is a term used to describe precancerous or abnormal cells. Polyps that don't look much like cancer are referred to as having low-grade dysplasia. If your adenoma looks more abnormal and more like cancer, it's described as having high-grade dysplasia.

DMD is a rapidly progressive form of muscular dystrophy that occurs primarily in boys. It is caused by an alteration (mutation) in a gene, called the DMD gene that can be inherited in families in an X-linked recessive fashion, but it often occurs in people from families without a known family history of the condition.
