specific areas in which morphometry could be helpful are in ( 1 ) identifying malignant cells in lesions that are largely composed of benign-appearing cells ( e.g. , follicular thyroid neoplasms ) , ( 2 ) defining reference points in apparent continua ( e.g. , in the progression from normal colon to adenoma to adenocarcinoma ) , ( 3 ) distinguishing between benign and malignant lesions with similar appearances ( e.g. , fibromatosis and fibrosarcoma of the soft tissue ) and ( 4 ) distinguishing between similar-appearing types of malignant neoplasms ( e.g. , between small-cell carcinoma of the lung and small-cell lymphoma ) .
