| 설명 | 자기 복제를 하여 자신을 존속시키면서 한편으로는 증식과 분화를 하여 새로운 세포를 형성하는 세포로서 조혈줄기세포가 대표적이다. 조혈줄기세포는 골수에 있는 세포로서 모든 혈구세포가 여기에서 분화되어 발생한다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에 생긴 원시콩팥조직에서 발생한 암. 주로 원시세뇨관조직에서 발생한다. 대표적인 세포조직형은 염색시 세포질이 맑게 비어보이는 맑은세포암종이다. 치료는 수술과 항암화학요법이며 아주 드물지만 저절로 낫는 경우도 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 편평세포 기원의 암으로서, 편평세포가 있는 어떤 곳에서든 발생가능함. 따라서 식도암, 피부암, 폐암, 자궁암 등이 여기에 해당된다. 특히 피부암은 많은 자외선조사에 의해 생기는 광선각화증에서 발생가능하다. 병리조직학적 특성으로서 각질을 생성한다. |

| malignant melanoma | <oncology, tumour> A malignant tumour which arises from the pigment producing cells (melanosomes) of the deeper layers of the skin (or the eye). Melanoma is the leading cause of death attributable to skin lesions. Described as an irregular dark skin lesion that may have areas of varying colour. Often greater than 6 mm in diameter.

| malignant melanoma: gallium imaging | <radiology> Greater than50% sensitivity for primary and metastatic sites: 73% sensitivity if lesion is greater than 2 cm, 17% sensitivity if less than 2 cm, see: gallium: indications malignant melanoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| malignant melanoma in situ | A melanoma limited to the epidermis and composed of nests of atypical melanocytes and scattered single cells extending into the upper epidermis; local excision is curative although the lesion, if untreated, may soon invade the dermis. Malignant lentigo may be considered a slowly progressive type of malignant melanoma in situ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malignant melanoma: staging | <radiology> Clark staging: level I: all tumour cells above basement membrane (in situ), level II: tumour extends to papillary dermis, level III: tumour extends to interface between papillary and reticular dermis, level IV: tumour extends between bundles of collagen of reticular dermis, level V: tumour invasion of sucutaneous tissue (87% metastases) Breslow staging: thin: less than 0.75 mm depth of invasion, intermediate: 0.76 - 3.99 mm depth of invasion, thick: greater than 4 mm depth of invasion see: malignant melanoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| malignant meningioma | <tumour> Meningioma that either invades brain parenchyma or metastasizes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malignant mesothelioma | <oncology, tumour> A mesothelioma is a tumour of the lining of the lung and chest cavity, known as the pleura. Benign mesotheliomas do occur but are much more rare than the malignant type. Malignant mesothelioma affects men more commonly and about 80% of cases have a history for prior exposure to asbestos. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, cough and weight loss. (27 Sep 1997) |
| malignant midline reticulosis | An obsolete term for polymorphic reticulosis (05 Mar 2000) |

| malignant mole syndrome | <syndrome> Irregularly shaped, variously coloured, distinctively melanocytic, 5 to 10 mm nevi occurring in large numbers (to over 100) primarily on the trunk and extremities, with a high risk of malignancy reported in several members and three generations of a family. (05 Mar 2000) |

| malignant oedema | An acute toxaemia of cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and pigs caused by the bacterium Clostridium septicum and characterised by edematous swellings around the entry wound, anorexia, high fever, and death. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malignant pustule | The skin of B. Anthracis infection characteristic lesion that begins as a papule and soon becomes a vesicle and breaks, discharging a bloody serum; the seat of this vesicle, in about 36 hours, becomes a bluish black necrotic mass; constitutional symptoms of septicaemia are severe: high fever, vomiting, profuse sweating, and extreme prostration; the infection is often fatal. Synonym: malignant pustule. (05 Mar 2000) |
