| brain tumours | Can be malignant or benign and can occur at any age. Primary brain tumours initially form in the brain tissue. Secondary brain tumours are cancers that have spread to the brain tissue (metastasized) from tissue elsewhere in the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic isleT-cell tumours | <radiology> Insulinoma (beta-cell), usually solitary, 85% benign, gastrinoma, small, slow-growing, multiple, 60% malignant, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: mult. Intractable ulcers, VIPoma, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), WDHA syndrome: watery diarrhoea, hypokalaemia, achlorhydria, Verner-Morrison syndrome, glucagonoma, hyperglycaemia, migratory necrolytic erythema APUDomas, associated with MEN-1 (12 Dec 1998) |

| venereal tumours, veterinary | Tumours most commonly seen on or near the genitalia. They are venereal, most likely transmitted through transplantation of cells by contact. Metastases have been reported. Spontaneous regression may occur. (12 Dec 1998) |
| giant cell tumours | Tumours of bone tissue or synovial or other soft tissue characterised by the presence of giant cells. The most common are giant cell tumour of tendon sheath and giant cell tumour of bone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pineal region tumours | Type of brain tumours. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pineal tumours | <radiology> SIGNS: aqueductal obstruction most likely to be hydrocephalus, paralysis of upward gaze (due to pressure on quarigeminal plate), precocious puberty, symptoms of hypothalamic, thalamic, cerebellar or pyramidal lesion TYPES: germ-cell (teratoid) tumours, teratoma, germinoma / atypical teratoma, endodermal sinus (yolk sac) tumour, choriocarcinoma, pineal-cell tumours, pineocytoma, pineo---, others, glioma, ganglioneuroma, ganglioglioma (12 Dec 1998) |
| plant tumours | A localised proliferation of plant tissue forming a swelling or outgrowth, commonly with a characteristic shape and unlike any organ of the normal plant. Plant tumours or galls usually form in response to the action of a pathogen or a pest. (12 Dec 1998) |
| posterior fossa tumours | <radiology> Midline, medulloblastoma (hyperdense, enhances), astrocytoma (hypodense, enhances), 4th ventricle, ependymoma (most common, slow-growing, expands ventricle), medulloblastoma (usually obliterates ventricular cavity), choroid plexus papilloma (more common in lateral ventricles) (12 Dec 1998) |
| primitive neuroectodermal tumours | A type of brain tumour. Prenatal diagnosis: diagnosis before birth. Methods for prenatal diagnosis include ultrasound (of the uterus, placenta and developing foetus), chorionic villus sampling to obtain tissue for chromosome or biochemical analysis, amniocentesis to obtain amniotic fluid for the analysis of chromosmes, enzymes, DNA, etc. A growing number of birth defects and diseases are now amenable to prenatal diagnosis. Also called antenatal diagnosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nerve sheath tumours | Tumours arising in the sheath surrounding the axon of some nerve cells and formed by the plasma membrane of schwann cells in the peripheral nervous sytem and by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. Neurofibromas and neurilemmomas are the most commonly occurring tumours of this type. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuroectodermal tumours | Malignant neoplasms arising in the neuroectoderm, the portion of the ectoderm of the early embryo that gives rise to the central and peripheral nervous systems, including some glial cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuroendocrine tumours | Tumours whose cells possess secretory granules and originate from the neuroectoderm, i.e., the cells of the ectoblast or epiblast that program the neuroendocrine system. Common properties across most neuroendocrine tumours include ectopic hormone production (often via apud cells), the presence of tumour-associated antigens, and isozyme composition. (12 Dec 1998) |
| desmoplastic tumours | <radiology> Carcinoid of small bowel or colon, Hodgkin's lymphoma, scirrhous gastric carcinoma (12 Dec 1998) |
