The early stages of adenocarcinoma of the nose due to exposure to beech and oak wood dust show superficial preinvasive growth. The papillary and tubular structures of this "adenocarcinoma in situ" are identical with those of invasive adenocarcinomas. There are no indications that cuboid or squamous metaplasia precedes the development of this type of carcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
