| adenoid squamous cell carcinoma | <tumour> A malignant neoplasm consisting chiefly of glandular epithelium (adenocarcinoma), usually well differentiated, with foci of metaplasia to squamous (or epidermoid) neoplastic cells. Synonym: adenoid squamous cell carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| basal squamous cell carcinoma | <tumour> A carcinoma of the skin which in structure and behaviour is considered transitional between basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma The term should not be used for the much more common keratotic variety of basal cell carcinoma, in which the tumour cells are of basal type but which contains small foci of abrupt keratinization. Synonym: basal squamous cell carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinoma, squamous cell | A carcinoma derived from stratified squamous epithelium. It may also occur in sites where glandular or columnar epithelium is normally present. (12 Dec 1998) |
| multiple self-healing squamous epithelioma | <tumour> Multiple skin tumours, most frequently on the head, each resembling a well-differentiated squamous carcinoma or keratoacanthoma; individual tumours resolve spontaneously after several months, leaving deep-pitted scars with irregular crenellated borders, and are usually replaced by additional new tumours; autosomal dominant inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simple squamous epithelium | Epithelium composed of a single layer of flattened scalelike cells, such as mesothelium, endothelium, and that in the pulmonary alveoli. Synonym: pavement epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| squamous | Scaly or platelike. Origin: L. Squamosus = scaly (18 Nov 1997) |
| squamous alveolar cells | Highly attentuated squamous cell's that form the gas-permeable epithelium lining the alveoli of the lungs. Synonym: type I cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| squamous border | Edge of a bone which articulates with the squamous part of the temporal bone. See: squamous border of parietal bone, squamous border of sphenoid bone. Synonym: margo squamosus, squamous margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| squamous border of parietal bone | The lateral border of the parietal bone that articulates with the squamous part of the temporal bone. Synonym: margo squamosus ossis parietalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| squamous border of sphenoid bone | The margin of the greater wing of the sphenoid bone that articulates with the squamous part of the temporal bone. Synonym: margo squamosus ossis sphenoidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| squamous cell | <dermatology, pathology> Flat thin cells found in the outer layer of the skin. (13 Nov 1997) |
| squamous cell carcinoma | <oncology, tumour> A malignant growth originating from a squamous cell. This form of cancer can be seen on the skin, lips, inside the mouth, throat or oesophagus. (27 Sep 1997) |
| squamous cell hyperplasia | Increase in the number of cells in a squamous epithelium. Synonym: hypertrophic dystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| squamous cells | Flat cells that look like fish scales; they make up most of the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| squamous epithelium | <pathology> An epithelium in which the cells are flattened. May be simple (e.g. Endothelium) or stratified (e.g. Epidermis). (18 Nov 1997) |
