Metaplasia - A reversible adaptive response in which there is "Reprogramming of stem cellsreplacement of one cell type by another that can adapt to a new stress." Both are normal cells. Respiratory tree should not have squamous cells until respiratory bronchioles (before that; cuboidal in term. bron. > columnar in bronch. > pseudostratified columnar in large. bronch.).

artist90i got it confused bc the question stated that there was a mass in one lobe of lung and i didn't knew that squamous metaplasia also presents as a mass in lung. i missed that on biopsy they were clearly stating squamous metaplasia.+12019-07-16T12:24:43Z
This could easily be confused with Squamous Cell Carcinoma as they are describing a mass. But i think the key difference is that they mention METAPLASIA. If it was dysplasia, then it would have been cancer.
