Neoplasms of unspecified nature
- (TOO-mer) An abnormal mass of tissue that results from excessive cell division. Tumors perform no useful body function. They may be benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
- (NEE-o-PLAY-zha) Abnormal and uncontrolled cell growth.
- A new growth of benign or malignant tissue.
- An abnormal tissue growth resulted from uncontrolled cell proliferation. Benign neoplastic cells resemble normal cells without exhibiting significant cytologic atypia, while malignant ones exhibit overt signs such as dysplastic features, atypical mitotic figures, necrosis, nuclear pleomorphism, and anaplasia. Representative examples of benign neoplasms include papillomas, cystadenomas, and lipomas; malignant neoplasms include carcinomas, sarcomas, lymphomas, and leukemias. -- 2004 (NCI)
- growth of the tumor after morphology of cell has changed; cells may or may not have transformed to a cancerous state.
- An abnormal tissue growth resulted from uncontrolled cell proliferation.
Neoplasm of unspecified nature of digestive system
- new abnormal digestive system tissue that grows by excessive cellular division and proliferation more rapidly than normal and continues to grow after the stimuli that initiated the new growth cease; includes neoplasms of any of the organs that are associated with ingestion, digestion, and absorption of food.
Neoplasm of unspecified nature of respiratory system
Neoplasm of unspecified nature of bone soft tissue and skin
Neoplasm of unspecified nature of breast
Neoplasm of unspecified nature of bladder
Neoplasm of unspecified nature of other genitourinary organs
Neoplasm of unspecified nature of brain
- neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum; subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (metastatic) forms; primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms; brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
- Benign and malignant neoplasms that arise from or metastasize to structures within the cranium. This includes meningeal and other tumors that occur in the spaces that surround the brain, and neoplasms of the brain.
Neoplasm of unspecified nature of endocrine glands and other parts of nervous system
Neoplasm of unspecified nature of other specified sites
