Hyperplasia is generally divided into two main categories based on how the cells look under a microscope:
The cells look abnormal or "atypical." This is considered a precancerous condition and carries a significantly higher risk of progressing to cancer if left untreated. 1. Endometrial Hyperplasia (Uterus) hyperplasia
The cells look normal but are more numerous than they should be. This type carries a low risk of becoming cancer.
