| pigmented retinal epithelium | Layer of unusual phagocytic epithelial cells lying below the photoreceptors of the vertebrate eye. The dorsal surface of the PRE cell is closely apposed to the ends of the rods and as discs are shed from the rod outer segment they are internalised and digested by the PRE. Do not have desmosomes or cytokeratins in some species. (18 Nov 1997) |

| Golgi epithelial cell | A glial cell found in the cerebellar cortex. See: Bergmann's fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| odontogenic epithelial cell | Epithelial layer that will give rise to teeth. (18 Nov 1997) |
| epithelial cell | One of the many varieties of cell's that form epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epithelial reticular cell | One of the many-branched epithelial cell's that collectively form the supporting stroma for lymphocytes in the thymus; believed to produce thymosin and other factors that control thymic function. (05 Mar 2000) |
| follicular epithelial cell | <physiology> A cell lining a follicle such as that of the thyroid gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retinal ganglion cell | <pathology> A type of interneuron that conveys information from the retinal bipolar, horizontal and amacrine cells to the brain. (18 Nov 1997) |
| giant pigmented nevus | These large pigmented (often hairy) congenital nevi are important because of their increased risk (10 to 15%) of conversion into malignant melanoma. A biopsy can confirm if cells have turned malignant. Any change in a pre-existing nevus should prompt a physician evaluation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| villonodular pigmented tenosynovitis | A condition resembling pigmented villonodular synovitis but arising in periarticular soft tissue rather than in joint synovia; occurs most commonly in the hands. Synonym: villonodular pigmented tenosynovitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pigmented | <biology> Coloured; specifically, filled or imbued with pigment; as, pigmented epithelial cells; pigmented granules. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| pigmented ameloblastoma | A benign neoplasm of neuroectodermal origin that most often involves the anterior maxilla of infants in the first year of life. It presents clinically as a rapidly growing blue-black lesion producing a destructive radiolucency; histologically, it is characterised by small round undifferentiated tumour cells interspersed with larger polyhedral melanin-producing cells arranged in an alveolar configuration. Synonym: melanoameloblastoma, pigmented ameloblastoma, pigmented epulis, progonoma of jaw, retinal anlage tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pigmented dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans | An uncommon variant of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans containing heavily pigmented dendritic melanocytes scattered between spindle cells of the tumour. Synonym: Bednar tumour, storiform neurofibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pigmented epulis | A benign neoplasm of neuroectodermal origin that most often involves the anterior maxilla of infants in the first year of life. It presents clinically as a rapidly growing blue-black lesion producing a destructive radiolucency; histologically, it is characterised by small round undifferentiated tumour cells interspersed with larger polyhedral melanin-producing cells arranged in an alveolar configuration. Synonym: melanoameloblastoma, pigmented ameloblastoma, pigmented epulis, progonoma of jaw, retinal anlage tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pigmented hair epidermal nevus | A nevus first seen as an irregular pigmentation of the shoulders, upper chest, or scapular area, gradually enlarging irregularly and becoming thickened and hairy. Synonym: pigmented hair epidermal nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pigmented keratic precipitates | Precipitate's that occur in eyes with brown irides or after prolonged inflammation. (05 Mar 2000) |
