| telangiectatic angioma | <tumour> Angioma composed of dilated vessels. Angioma venosum racemosum, tortuous swelling caused by varicosities of superficial veins. Venous angioma, vascular anomaly composed of anomalous veins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| telangiectatic cancer | A cancer with numerous dilated capillaries and "lakes" of blood within relatively large endothelium-lined channels. (05 Mar 2000) |
| telangiectatic glioma | <tumour> Glioma telangiectodes, a glioma in which the stroma has numerous, conspicuous, frequently dilated small blood vessels and capillaries, as well as large, endothelium-rimmed lakes of blood. (05 Mar 2000) |

| telangiectatic osteogenic sarcoma | <tumour> A lytic cystic variant of osteogenic sarcoma composed of aneurysmal blood-filled spaces lined by sarcoma cells producing osteoid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| telangiectatic wart | A discrete, pink to red telangiectasia having a tendency to undergo secondary epithelial changes, including acanthosis and hyperkeratosis. An underlying vascular abnormality is present in many cases. The term angiokeratoma is applied to a number of quite distinct conditions which share a common clinical presentation with asymptomatic hyperkeratotic vascular skin lesions and a histological combination of superficial dermal vascular ectasia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ameloblastic fibroma | <tumour> A benign mixed odontogenic tumour characterised by neoplastic proliferation of both epithelial and mesenchymal components of the tooth bud without the production of dental hard tissue; presents clinically as a slow-growing painless radiolucency occurring most commonly in the mandible of children and adolescents. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aponeurotic fibroma | <tumour> A calcifying recurrent non-metastasizing but infiltrating fibroma seen most frequently on the palms of young people as a small firm nodule not attached to the overlying skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabbit fibroma | A connective tissue tumour of cottontail rabbits caused by a poxvirus of the genus Leporipoxvirus and found by Shope to be transmissible with cellular suspensions or Berkefeld filtrates; it is related to myxomatosis and is used in Europe as a source of vaccine to protect against the myxoma virus. Synonym: rabbit fibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabbit fibroma virus | A poxvirus of the genus Leporipoxvirus, closely related to vaccinia and myxoma viruses, that causes Shope fibroma. Synonym: fibromatosis virus of rabbits, Shope fibroma virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| giant cell fibroma | <tumour> A tumour of the oral mucosa composed of fibrous connective tissue with large stellate and multinucleate fibroblasts; shares a similar histology with the retrocuspid papilla, fibrous papule of the nose, pearly penile papule, and the ungual fibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central cementifying fibroma | <tumour> A microscopic variant of a central ossifying fibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central ossifying fibroma | <tumour> A painless, slow-growing, expansile, sharply circumscribed benign fibro-osseus tumour of the jaws that is derived from cells of the periodontal ligament; presents initially as a radiolucency that becomes progressively more opaque as it matures. See: central cementifying fibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peripheral ossifying fibroma | A reactive focal gingival overgrowth derived histogenetically from cells of the periodontal ligament and usually developing in response to local irritants (plaque and calculus) on associated teeth; consists microscopically of a hyperplastic cellular fibrous stroma supporting deposits of bone, cementum, or dystrophic calcification.
