| FGP | fundic gland polyp |
| superior salivary nucleus | A group of preganglionic parasympathetic motor neurons situated rostral and lateral to the inferior salivatory nucleus; it governs secretion of the lacrimal, sublingual, and submaxillary glands by way of the facial nerve and the sphenopalatine and submandibular ganglia. Synonym: nucleus salivatorius superior, superior salivary nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| inferior salivary nucleus | A group of preganglionic parasympathetic motor neurons located in the reticular formation of the medulla oblongata dorsal to the nucleus ambiguus; its axons leave the brain with the glossopharyngeal nerve and govern secretion from the parotid gland by the intermediary of the ganglion oticum; cells of the inferior and superior nucleus are scattered and overlapping in lateral regions of the reticular formation. Synonym: nucleus salivatorius inferior, inferior salivary nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bladder neoplasms | Cancers or tumours of the bladder. The majority of bladder neoplasms are of the transitional cell variety and are usually papillary and multicentric. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bone marrow neoplasms | Neoplasms located in the bone marrow. They are differentiated from neoplasms composed of bone marrow cells, such as myeloma. most bone marrow neoplasms are metastatic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| breast neoplasms, male | Any neoplasms of the male breast. These occur infrequently in males in developed countries, the incidence being about 1% of that in females. Two-thirds of patients present with intraductal carcinoma. The average age of onset is 60 years for men. Orchiectomy was the standard treatment but it has been replaced by tamoxifen as the initial therapy since oestrogen-receptor-positive tumours are predominant in males. Orchiectomy and mastectomy may be used if initial drug therapy is not successful. The prognosis is worse than that for females. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vascular neoplasms | <oncology> Neoplasms located in vascular tissue or specific veins. They are differentiated from neoplasms, vascular tissue which are neoplasms composed of vascular tissue, such as angiofibroma or haemangioma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic cystic neoplasms | <radiology> Microcystic adenoma, glycogen, benign, mucinous cystic neoplasm, macrocystic adenoma, cystadenoma/cystadenocarcinoma, mucin, pre-malignant, Both occur more commonly in women, peak in middle age (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic neoplasms | <radiology> Adenocarcinoma, most common, usually in pancreatic head, nasty (1-2% survival at 1 yr!), cystic neoplasms, slow-growing, more common in women, isleT-cell tumours, soft-tissue tumours (rare), metastases (breast, lung, melanoma, stomach, colon) (12 Dec 1998) |
| mammary neoplasms | Tumours of the mammary gland. Their occurrence is uncommon with the exception of the female dog, in which they account for 25% of all neoplasms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| paranasal sinus neoplasms | Neoplasms or tumours of the paranasal sinuses. Malignant neoplasms are rare, comprising 3% of all head and neck neoplasms. The majority arise in the maxillary sinus with malignancies of the ethmoid sinus constituting virtually all the remaining tumours. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genital neoplasms, male | Neoplasms of the male genitalia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maxillary neoplasms | Cancer or tumours of the maxilla or upper jaw. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maxillary sinus neoplasms | Neoplasms or tumours of the maxillary sinus. The majority of paranasal sinus neoplasms arise here. They develop silently when confined to the sinus and produce symptoms on extension through the walls. (12 Dec 1998) |
| central nervous system neoplasms | Neoplasms located in the brain, spinal cord, or meninges. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebellar neoplasms | Neoplasms located in the cerebellum. (12 Dec 1998) |
