Elston grading:

* 1 point = >75% * 2 points = 10-75% * 3 points = <10% - Nuclear pleomorphism * 1 point = minimal nuclear variation in size and shape * 2 points = moderate variation in size and shape * 3 points = marked pleomorphism - Mitoses * 10 hpf (field diameter 0.44 mm) -- 1 point = 0-5 -- 2 points = 6-10 -- 3 points = >10 * 10 hpf (field diameter 0.59) -- 1 point = 0-9 -- 2 points = 10-19 -- 3 points = >20 |
