palisading
Building defensive fencing
Palisading describes cells arranged in a row like fence posts, a pattern significant in pathology and histology.
Tumor cells may show palisading around areas of necrosis, as in glioblastoma.
The term comes from palisade—a defensive fence of stakes.
The biopsy revealed characteristic palisading of the basal cells.
