- (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.
