| adenocarcinoma, papillary | An adenocarcinoma containing finger-like processes of vascular connective tissue covered by neoplastic epithelium, projecting into cysts or the cavity of glands or follicles. It occurs most frequently in the ovary and thyroid gland. (12 Dec 1998) |

| carcinoma, papillary | A malignant neoplasm characterised by the formation of numerous, irregular, finger-like projections of fibrous stroma that is covered with a surface layer of neoplastic epithelial cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, papillary, follicular | A thyroid neoplasm of mixed papillary and follicular arrangement. Its biological behaviour and prognosis is the same as that of a papillary adenocarcinoma of the thyroid. (12 Dec 1998) |

| papillary adenocarcinoma | <tumour> An adenocarcinoma containing finger-like processes of vascular connective tissue covered by neoplastic epithelium, projecting into cysts or the cavity of glands or follicles; occurs most frequently in the ovary and thyroid gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| papillary adenoma of large intestine | <tumour> Appears as a solitary sessile, often large, tumour of colonic mucosa composed of mucinous epithelium covering delicate vascular projections; malignant change occurs frequently; hypersecretion occurs rarely.

| papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum | <oncology, tumour> A benign tumour characterised histologically by tall columnar epithelium within a lymphoid tissue stroma. It is usually found in the salivary glands, especially the parotid. (25 Jun 1999) |
| papillary cystic adenoma | <tumour> An adenoma in which the lumens of the acini are frequently distended by fluid, and the neoplastic epithelial elements tend to form irregular, fingerlike projections. (05 Mar 2000) |
| papillary ducts | The largest straight excretory duct's in the kidney medulla and papillae whose openings form the area cribrosa; they are a continuation of the collecting tubules. Synonym: Bellini's ducts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| papillary hidradenoma | <tumour> A solitary benign tumour occurring in women usually in the labia majora, cystic and papillary, and composed of epithelium resembling that of apocrine glands. Synonym: apocrine adenoma, hidradenoma papilliferum. (05 Mar 2000) |
