| cystadenocarcinoma, serous | A malignant cystic or saemicystic neoplasm. It often occurs in the ovary and usually bilaterally. The external surface is usually covered with papillary excrescences. Microscopically, the papillary patterns are predominantly epithelial overgrowths with differentiated and undifferentiated papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma cells. Psammoma bodies may be present. The tumour generally adheres to surrounding structures and produces ascites. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cystadenoma, serous | A cystic tumour of the ovary, containing thin, clear, yellow serous fluid and varying amounts of solid tissue, with a malignant potential several times greater than that of mucinous cystadenoma (cystadenoma, mucinous). It can be unilocular, parvilocular, or multilocular. It is often bilateral and papillary. The cysts may vary greatly in size. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serous | <physiology> Thin; watery; like serum; as the serous fluids. Of or pertaining to serum; as, the serous glands, membranes, layers. <anatomy> See serous membrane. Origin: Cf. F. Sereux. (12 May 1998) |
| serous atrophy | A degenerative change occurring in fat cells, the fat being absorbed and its place being taken by a serous fluid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serous cell | A cell, especially of the salivary gland, that secretes a watery or thin albuminous fluid, as opposed to a mucous cell. Synonym: albuminous cell. (05 Mar 2000) |

| serous cyst | A cyst containing clear serous fluid, such as a hygroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serous demilunes | The serous cells at the distal end of a mucous, tubuloalveolar secretory unit of certain salivary glands. Synonym: Giannuzzi's crescents, Giannuzzi's demilunes, Heidenhain's crescents, Heidenhain's demilunes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serous diarrhoea | Diarrhoea characterised by watery stools. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serous gland | An exocrine gland that produces a watery, protein rich secretion, as opposed to a carbohydrate rich mucous secretion. (18 Nov 1997) |
