| 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) |
|---|---|
| carcinoma, renal cell | Carcinoma of the renal parenchyma usually occurring in middle age or later and composed of tubular cells in varying arrangements. It was first described in 1826. Possible causal factors are environmental, hormonal, cellular, and genetic. Smoking is a definite risk factor and obesity is associated with increased risk. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for approximately 3% of adult cancer; the male-female ratio is 2:1. It is more common among urban residents than rural. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, signet ring cell | A highly malignant, mucus-secreting tumour in which the mucus-secreting cells are anaplastic and appear rounded, with the nucleus displaced to one side by a globule of mucus in the cytoplasm. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, skin appendage | A malignant tumour of the skin appendages, which include the hair, nails, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and the mammary glands. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, small cell | An anaplastic, highly malignant, and usually bronchogenic carcinoma composed of small ovoid cells with scanty neoplasm. It is characterised by a dominant, deeply basophilic nucleus, and absent or indistinct nucleoli. There are admixtures of small cell lung carcinoma with other types of lung cancer. Small cell carcinomas are distinguished by their distinctive biological features, response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and by their nearly universal tendency to develop overt or subclinical metastases, which frequently eliminates surgery in most patients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| carcinoma, transitional cell | A malignant neoplasm derived from transitional epithelium, occurring chiefly in the urinary bladder, ureters or renal pelves (especially if well differentiated), frequently papillary. Transitional cell carcinomas are graded 1 to 3 or 4 according to the degree of anaplasia, grade 1 appearing histologically benign but being liable to recurrence. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, verrucous | A variant of well-differentiated epidermoid carcinoma that is most common in the oral cavity, but also occurs in the larynx, nasal cavity, oesophagus, penis, anorectal region, vulva, vagina, uterine cervix, and skin, especially on the sole of the foot. Most intraoral cases occur in elderly male abusers of smokeless tobacco. The treatment is surgical resection. Radiotherapy is not indicated, as up to 30% treated with radiation become highly aggressive within six months. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinomata | Alternative plural of carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinomatosis | A condition resulting from widespread dissemination of carcinoma in multiple sites in various organs or tissues of the body; sometimes also used in relation to involvement of a relatively large region of the body. Synonym: carcinosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinomatous | Pertaining to or manifesting the characteristic properties of carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinomatous encephalomyelopathy | An encephalomyelopathy as a remote effect of carcinoma, most often oat cell carcinoma of the lung; characterised by extensive nerve cell loss, which may be diffuse, but often predominates in particular portions of the central nervous system, particularly the limbic lobes, medulla, cerebellum, and gray matter of the spinal cord. Synonym: carcinomatous encephalomyelopathy, encephalomyelitis associated with carcinoma, paracarcinomatous encephalomyelopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinomatous implants | Transference of carcinoma cells from a primary tumour to adjacent tissues where growth continues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinomatous myelopathy | Degeneration or necrosis of the spinal cord associated with a carcinoma. Synonym: paracarcinomatous myelopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinomatous myopathy | <syndrome> A condition characterised by muscle weakness that is similar to the symptoms of myasthenia gravis. For this reason, it has been referred to as myasthenic syndrome. This disorder is caused by an insufficient release of neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) by the nerve cells. Unlike myasthenia gravis, as muscle contractions are continued, strength will increase. The cause of Lambert-Eaton syndrome is unknown, but is usually associated with small cell carcinoma of the lung or an autoimmune illness. (27 Sep 1997) |
| melanotic carcinoma | <tumour> Obsolete term for melanoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| meningeal carcinoma | <tumour> An infiltration of carcinoma cells in the arachnoid and subarachnoid space; may be primary or secondary. Synonym: leptomeningeal carcinoma, leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, meningeal carcinomatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesometanephric carcinoma | A rare tumour of the female genital tract, most often the ovary, formerly considered to be derived from mesonephric rests. Two varieties are recognised: (1) clear cell carcinoma, so called because of its histologic resemblance to renal cell carcinoma, and now considered to be of muellerian duct derivation and (2) an embryonal tumour (called also endodermal sinus tumour and yolk sac tumour), occurring chiefly in children. The latter variety may also arise in the testis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| metaplastic carcinoma | <tumour> A carcinoma in which some of the tumour cells are spindle shaped, suggesting a sarcoma, or in which the stroma shows foci of bone or cartilage; such carcinoma's occur in the upper respiratory or alimentary tract or in the breast. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metastatic carcinoma | <tumour> A carcinoma that has appeared in a region remote from its site of origin, as in metastasis. Synonym: secondary carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| metatypical carcinoma | <tumour> Obsolete term for basosquamous carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| microinvasive carcinoma | <tumour> A variety of carcinoma seen most frequently in the uterine cervix, in which carcinoma in situ of squamous epithelium, on the surface or replacing the lining of glands, is accompanied by small collections of abnormal epithelial cells that infiltrate a very short distance into the stroma; this may represent the earliest stage of invasion, in which the neoplastic cells are capable of intrusion but not of sustained growth in connective tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clear cell carcinoma of kidney | <radiology> Hypernephroma, renal cell carcinoma, arises from proximal collecting tubule, 10% bilateral adenocarcinoma types: papillary, alveolar, onchocytoma vascularity, 85% hypervascular (require pre-op embolization), 10% hypovascular (usually papillary type), 5% avascular associated with: tuberous sclerosis, von Hippel-Lindau syndrome see also: staging (12 Dec 1998) |
| Walker carcinoma | <tumour> A transplantable carcinosarcoma of the rat that originally appeared spontaneously in the mammary gland of a pregnant albino rat, and which now resembles a carcinoma in young transplants and a sarcoma in older transplants. Synonym: Walker carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colloid carcinoma | <tumour> A variety of adenocarcinoma in which the neoplastic cells secrete conspicuous quantities of mucin, and, as a result, the neoplasms are likely to be glistening, sticky, and gelatinoid in consistency. Synonym: colloid cancer, colloid carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |

| mucinous carcinoma | <tumour> A variety of adenocarcinoma in which the neoplastic cells secrete conspicuous quantities of mucin, and, as a result, the neoplasms are likely to be glistening, sticky, and gelatinoid in consistency. Synonym: colloid cancer, colloid carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mucoepidermoid carcinoma | <tumour> Most commonly a salivary gland carcinoma of low grade malignancy in children, but with variable malignancy in adults; composed of mucous, epidermoid, and intermediate cells, with mucous cells abundant only in low grade carcinoma's; recurrence is frequent, and high grade carcinoma's metastasize to cervical nodes. Synonym: mucoepidermoid tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wolffian duct carcinoma | A rare tumour of the female genital tract, most often the ovary, formerly considered to be derived from mesonephric rests. Two varieties are recognised: (1) clear cell carcinoma, so called because of its histologic resemblance to renal cell carcinoma, and now considered to be of muellerian duct derivation and (2) an embryonal tumour (called also endodermal sinus tumour and yolk sac tumour), occurring chiefly in children. The latter variety may also arise in the testis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cylindromatous carcinoma | <tumour> A histologic type of carcinoma characterised by large epithelial masses containing round, glandlike spaces or cysts which frequently contain mucus or collagen and are bordered by a few or many layers of epithelial cells without intervening stroma, forming a cribriform pattern like a slice of Swiss cheese; perineural invasion and haematogenous metastasis are common; occurs most commonly in salivary glands. Synonym: cylindromatous carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
