[Apud cells and apudomas of the prostate, breast and uterus].

Morphofunctional features of apud cells in the prostatic, mammalian and uterine parenchyma have been studied inadequately and their further comprehensive study is needed. It will help to estimate fully enough those pathologic changes in which apud cells are involved. Dyshormonal hyperplastic processes and, especially, tumours, are of greatest importance among them. It is essential to consider not only morphologic, but functional peculiarities of tumour tissue, that will enable one to study the biological activity, long-term results of reproductive organ apudoma treatment, as well as to solve the problem of their histogenesis sources.
