| carcinoma, neuroendocrine | A group of carcinomas which share a characteristic morphology, often being composed of clusters and trabecular sheets of round "blue cells", granular chromatin, and an attenuated rim of poorly demarcated cytoplasm. Neuroendocrine tumours include carcinoids, small ("oat") cell carcinomas, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, merkel cell tumour, cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma, pancreatic islet cell tumours, and pheochromocytoma. Neurosecretory granules are found within the tumour cells. (12 Dec 1998) |

| carcinoma, non-small-cell lung | A heterogeneous aggregate of at least three distinct histological types of lung cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. They are dealt with collectively because of the shared properties of poor response to conventional chemotherapy and the potential for cure with surgical resection in a fraction of patients. (12 Dec 1998) |
| carcinoma, papillary | A malignant neoplasm characterised by the formation of numerous, irregular, finger-like projections of fibrous stroma that is covered with a surface layer of neoplastic epithelial cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
