This term is rooted in the Greek pleion meaning “more” and morphe meaning “form”. Historically, it was adopted into medical and biological vocabularies via Scientific Latin in the 19th century to describe cellular irregularities that deviate from the normal standard. Socially, its use is restricted to formal clinical contexts and diagnostics. In pathology, labeling cells as pleomorphic carries an urgent pragmatic weight, as variations in nuclear size and shape are frequently associated with a diagnosis of malignancy (cancer), making the word a technical indicator used to differentiate benign from aggressive growths.
Hasil patologi menunjukkan adanya sel pleomorfik yang menandakan adanya indikasi keganasan pada tumor.
