| 영문 | solid tumor | 한글 | 고형종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 세포로 꽉 찬 종양을 말함. 백혈병 등의 혈액암과 같이 형태를 취하지 않고 액체인 상태의 암과 대조되는 용어로서 단단한 덩어리로 구성된 악성종양이다. 대부분의 종양이 이에 해당한다. 특히 표피조직에서 기원한 종양을 말한다. |

| 영문 | ulcerating tumor | 한글 | 궤양성 종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 종양의 표면에 궤양이 발생하는 것. 대개, 매우 빨리 자라는 종양에서 혈류 공급이 종양세포의 자라는 속도를 감당하지 못해 종양중심부 조직이 괴사에 빠져 궤양을 형성하는 경우가 많다. 육안으로 보면 빨갛고, 열이나며, 지저분해 보인다. |

| 영문 | brain tumor | 한글 | 뇌종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뇌종양이란 뇌와 뇌조직에서 생긴 종양을 지칭하는 말이다. 그러나 대개 넓은 의미로 사용할 경우에는 머리뼈속의 공간인 두개강속에 생기는 모든 종양을 이르는 말로 사용된다. 뇌종양은 한정된 공간인 두개강에서 발생하므로 종양이 그다지 크지 않아도 정상적인 조직을 압박하게 되고, 두개강내의 압력을 높인다. 이런 특징에 의해서 뇌종양의 증상은 다른 종양과 달리, 종양 그 자체의 증상보다도 두개내압상승과 정상조직의 압박에 의한 증상이 많다. 두개내압(뇌압)의 상승에 의한 증상으로는 두통, 구토등이 있으며, 지속적인 뇌압상승에 의해서 유두부종(papilledema)이 관찰되기도 한다. 그리고 정상적인 뇌조직의 압박과 종양이 생긴 부위의 기능의 결합에 뇌의 그 부분에 해당하는 기능의 상실을 보게된다. |

| 영문 | epithelial tumor | 한글 | 상피성종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 정상 사람의 조직은 체표면을 덮는 역할을 하는 조직과, 주로 발생기의 중배엽에서 분화한 간엽조직에서 유래하는 결합조직, 뼈, 연골, 지방, 근육, 혈관 등의 조직의 두 계통으로 나눌 수 있다. 전자를 상피성 조직, 후자를 비상피성 조직이라 하며 그 각각을 구성하는 세포를 상피성 세포, 비상피세포라 총칭한다. 상피성 세포에서 기원하는 종양이 상피성 종양이며, 근처의 조직으로 침투나 혈류, 림프의 조직을 타고 원거리의 장기로 이동하지 않는 양성종양에는 선종, 유두종 등이 있고 양성과 반대로 근처의 조직으로 침투, 원격장기로 전이하는 악성종양을 모두 통칭하여 암종(carcinoma)이라고 한다. |

| 영문 | medullary tumor | 한글 | 수질성 종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 암의 병리학적인 분류중 하나. 여러 기관의 암에서 나타나는데 주로 갑상샘암이나 유방암에서 보인다. |

| benign familial icterus | Mild jaundice due to increased amounts of unconjugated bilirubin in the plasma without evidence of liver damage, biliary obstruction, or haemolysis; thought to be due to an inborn error of metabolism in which the excretion of bilirubin by the liver is defective, ascribed to decreased conjugation of bilirubin as a glucuronide or impaired uptake of hepatic bilirubin. Synonym: benign familial icterus, constitutional hepatic dysfunction, Gilbert's disease, Gilbert's syndrome, Hebra's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |

| benign giant lymph node hyperplasia | Solitary masses of lymphoid tissue containing concentric perivascular aggregates of lymphocytes, occurring usually in the mediastinum or hilar region of young adults; similar changes have been reported outside the mediastinum and, if associated with interfollicular sheets of plasma cells, may progress to lymphoma or plasmacytoma. Synonym: angiofollicular mediastinal lymph node hyperplasia, Castleman's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benign glycosuria | Glycosuria not associated with diabetes mellitus but resulting from a low renal threshold for sugar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benign headache | A benign form of headache that results from the painful spasm (muscle tightness) and inflammation of muscles of the head and neck. Tension headache is one of the most common forms of headache. Spasm and contraction of the head and neck muscles may occur in response to fatigue, overuse, eye strain, excessive smoking, stress, anxiety or depression. Sleeping in an abnormal position or prolonged work involving immobilisation of the neck in one position (typing, computers, etc.) are considered common triggers. Exercising and stretching the muscles of the head and neck can reduce the occurrence of muscle tension headaches. (27 Sep 1997) |
| benign hypertension | Hypertension that runs a relatively long and symptomless course. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benign inoculation lymphoreticulosis | <disease> A self-limiting bacterial infection of the regional lymph nodes (lymphadenitis) caused by afipia felis, a gram-negative bacterium recently identified as bartonella henselae. It usually arises one or more weeks following a feline scratch, with raised inflammatory nodules at the site of the scratch being the primary symptom. It results in tender and enlarged lymph glands above the site of injury. A chronic benign adenopathy, especially in children and young adults, commonly associated with a recent cat scratch or bite and caused by bacteria including Bartonella henselae and Alipia felis; the lymphadenopathy usually resolves spontaneously within a period of several months, but complications involving central nervous system, liver, spleen, lung, and skin have been seen. Synonym: benign inoculation lymphoreticulosis, benign inoculation reticulosis, cat-scratch fever, regional granulomatous lymphadenitis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| benign lymphadenosis | <haematology, virology> Self limiting disorder of lymphoid tissue caused by infection with Epstein Barr virus (infectious mononucleosis). Characterised by the appearance of many large lymphoblasts in the circulation. (13 Nov 1997) |
| benign lymphocytoma cutis | A soft red to violaceous skin nodule often involving the head, caused by dense infiltration of the dermis by lymphocytes and histiocytes, often forming lymphoid follicles, separated from the epidermis by a narrow noninfiltrating layer. Synonym: Spiegler-Fendt pseudolymphoma, Spiegler-Fendt sarcoid. (05 Mar 2000) |
