| embryonal carcinoma | <tumour> A malignant neoplasm of the testis, composed of large anaplastic cells with indistinct cellular borders, amphophilic cytoplasm, and ovoid, round, or bean-shaped nuclei that may have multiple large nucleoli; in some instances, the neoplastic cells may form tubular structures; embryonal carcinoma's may be malignant teratomas without differentiated elements. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| trabecular carcinoma | A rare malignant cutaneous tumour seen in sun-exposed skin of elderly patients composed of dermal nodules of small round cells with scanty cytoplasm in a trabecular pattern; the tumour cells contain cytoplasmic dense core granules resembling neurosecretory granules seen in Merkel cells. Synonym: primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin, trabecular carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalomyelitis associated with carcinoma | An encephalomyelopathy as a remote effect of carcinoma, most often oat cell carcinoma of the lung; characterised by extensive nerve cell loss, which may be diffuse, but often predominates in particular portions of the central nervous system, particularly the limbic lobes, medulla, cerebellum, and gray matter of the spinal cord. Synonym: carcinomatous encephalomyelopathy, encephalomyelitis associated with carcinoma, paracarcinomatous encephalomyelopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endometrial carcinoma | <oncology, tumour> A malignant cancer which arises from the cells which line the uterus. (27 Sep 1997) |
| endometrioid carcinoma | <tumour> Adenocarcinoma of the ovary or prostate resembling endometrial adenocarcinoma, possibly arising from ovarian foci of endometriosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epidermoid carcinoma | A type of lung cancer in which the cells are flat and look like fish scales. Also called squamous cell carcinoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epithelial carcinoma | Cancer that begins in the cells that line an organ. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma | <tumour> A salivary gland malignancy composed of an inner layer of ductal cells surrounded by a layer of clear myoepithelial cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubular carcinoma | <tumour> A well-differentiated form of ductal breast carcinoma with invasion of the stroma by small epithelial tubules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juvenile carcinoma | <tumour> Carcinoma of the breast with pale-staining cells showing prominent secretory activity, as seen in pregnancy and lactation, but found mostly in children. Synonym: juvenile carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kangri burn carcinoma | kang cancer |
| yolk sac carcinoma | Malignant germ cell tumour commonly found in the ovary. The tumour arises from primitive germ cells and develops into extra-embryonic tissue resembling the yolk sac. Synonym: yolk sac carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| latent carcinoma | <tumour> An epithelial neoplasm showing microscopic features of malignancy believed to have remained localised and asymptomatic for a long period; e.g., small carcinoma's of the prostate in old men, often found incidentally at autopsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral aberrant thyroid carcinoma | <tumour> A cervical nodule of thyroid carcinoma situated outside the thyroid gland, formerly thought to arise from ectopic thyroid tissue but now believed to be metastatic from an occult carcinoma within the gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leptomeningeal carcinoma | <tumour> An infiltration of carcinoma cells in the arachnoid and subarachnoid space; may be primary or secondary. Synonym: leptomeningeal carcinoma, leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, meningeal carcinomatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
