| cystic vein | <anatomy, vein> Veins, usually anterior and posterior, which drain the neck of the gallbladder and cystic duct, along which they pass to enter the right branch of the portal vein; they communicate extensively with surrounding veins of the stomach, duodenum and pancreas. Synonym: vena cystica. (05 Mar 2000) |

| ovarian cystic disease | <gynaecology> A painful condition associated with the recurrent formation of large ovarian cysts. Distention of the ovarian capsule causes pain and rupture of a larger cyst can, in rare instances, cause internal bleeding. Treatment often includes hormone manipulation (birth control pills). (05 Jan 1998) |
| kidney, cystic | A kidney containing one or more cysts, including polycystic disease (kidney, polycystic), solitary cyst, multiple simple cysts, and retention cysts (associated with parenchymal scarring). (12 Dec 1998) |
| Luschka's cystic glands | Small, mucous, tubuloalveolar glands in the mucosa of the larger bile ducts and especially in the neck of the gallbladder. Synonym: glandulae mucosae biliosae, Luschka's cystic glands, Theile's glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphangioma, cystic | A lymphangioma, often very large, usually occurring in the neck area, and composed of large, multilocular thin-walled cysts. It is also called hygroma or cystic hygroma. (12 Dec 1998) |

| adnexal carcinoma | <tumour> A carcinoma arising in, or forming structures resembling, skin appendages. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolar cell carcinoma | <tumour> A carcinoma, thought to be derived from epithelium of terminal bronchioles, in which the neoplastic tissue extends along the alveolar walls and grows in small masses within the alveoli; involvement may be uniformly diffuse and massive, or nodular, or lobular; microscopically, the neoplastic cells are cuboidal or columnar and form papillary structures; mucin may be demonstrated in some of the cells and in the material in the alveoli, which also includes denuded cells; metastases in regional lymph nodes, and even in more distant sites, are known to occur, but are infrequent. Synonym: alveolar cell carcinoma, bronchiolar adenocarcinoma, bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaplastic carcinoma | <tumour> Carcinoma with absence of epithelial structural differentiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
