Introduction

A general introduction to the wiki mark-up language can be found in the How to edit article.

Name of entity

Ideally should be World Health Organization (WHO) name.
- E.g. pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, not malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
Names should reflect the pathogenesis as is understood currently.
- E.g. keratocystic odontogenic tumour, not odontogenic keratocyst.
The use of common misnomers is discouraged.
- Some terms are tolerated... if they are very common, e.g. pyogenic granuloma (better term would be lobular capillary hemangioma).
Other names are listed under the heading with also known as (AKA).

Microscopic (heading)

The key feature(s) should be marked.
- Definition: A key feature is a distinctive common feature that strongly favours the given diagnosis and whose absense would strongly disfavour the diagnosis or exclude it.
  - Examples:
    1. Eosinophils in eosinophilic esophagitis.
    2. Nuclear atypia at the free surface in tubular adenoma.
