mitosis atípicas 0-2 (csf)
Spanish to English
Medical
Medical (general)
anatomic pathology / histology
From an anatomic pathology report of a biopsy taken from a tumor in the pancreas, the report is from a clinic in Mexico.
Any ideas for what "csf" may refer to?
Descripción microscópica:
(...)
"Las células son intermedias, con hipercromasia, pleomorfismo moderado contorno nuclear irregular, mitosis atípicas 0-2 (csf), necrosis (30%) y citoplasma esinófilo." Written as is, with "csf" in lower case.
My thinking would be maybe "campo de alto poder"/"campo de gran aumento" (high-power field, but the abbreviation doesn't fit) or "cytostatic factor" or "colony-stimulating factor", but from my research, none of these seem to apply in the context.
And what would the 0-2 refer to? There are a total of eight cassettes (cápsulas) submitted, if that's relevant.
For U.S. English (though I expect that makes no difference here). Thank you.

0-2 atypical mitoses per high-power field (HPF)
Mitotic rate expresses the number of mitotic figures in a defined microscopic area; “atypical” flags abnormal (often multipolar) figures that imply higher malignant potential. “0–2 … (csf)” therefore records a low frequency of atypical mitoses.
Example sentence:
The cells are intermediate in size, with hyperchromasia, moderate pleomorphism, irregular nuclear contours, 0–2 atypical mitoses per high-power field (HPF), 30 % necrosis, and eosinophilic cytoplasm.

0-2 atypical mitoses per high dry field (HDF)
I am not an expert and I wouldn't be surprised if "high-power field" meant the same thing in practice, but still, since it says "csf", which means "campo seco fuerte" (see reference below), and since "per high dry field" is used in a number of authentic scientific texts apparently by native English-speaking authors, I think it may be worth doing it this way. As indicated in my reference, "seco", or "dry" refers to the non-use of immersion oil, which produces a sharper image with high-power lenses, by counteracting refraction:
"By placing a substance such as immersion oil with a refractive index equal to that of the glass slide in the space filled with air, more light is directed through the objective and a clearer image is observed. [...] Notice the difference in image quality between the images captured dry versus those captured with immersion oil."
https://www.microscopeworld.com/t-using_microscope_immersion...
So in principle "dry" does add meaning.
Anyway, here are some examples of the expression:
"In the appropriate area for performing a white blood cell estimate, there are 1-2 white cells seen per high dry field."

"leucocytes, 3-5 per high dry field, erythrocytes-30-so per high dry field".
https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.71298/page/n29...
"Mitoses (fig. 4-1) ranged from 2-6 per high power dry field."
