| 영문 | Wilms' tumor | 한글 | 윌름즈종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에서 발생하는 악성종양으로 소아에서 자주 발생한다. 흔히 소아에서 복부내종양을 발견시 중앙선을 넘어서면 신경모세포종이고, 중앙선을 넘지 않으면 윌름즈종양을 의심할 만큼 중요하고 흔한 종양이다. 대개 증상은 없는 편이며, 주로 아기의 목욕을 시켜주다가 우연히 발견된 복부내종괴 때문에 병원을 찾게 된다. 진단시 컴퓨터단층촬영으로 주위의 전이가 없는지를 확인해야 하며, 전이가 없으면 항암화학요법, 방사선치료요법, 그리고 수술요법의 병합요법에 의한 치료효과가 높다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 점액으로 구성된 종양을 말하는데 주로 여성의 난소에서 발생하는 낭성(물주머니같은 종양을 말함) 종양에서 많이 볼 수 있다. |

| 설명 | 조절할 수 없이 계속 진행되는 세포분열에 의한 조직의 새로운 증식 및 증대. 신생물. (1) 분류 A. 침윤과 전이의 유무에 따라 i)양성종양: 침윤과 전이가 없고 역형성이 낮은 세포로 구성됨. 대개 치료에 반응이 높고, 생명에 크게 지장이 없으며, 재발하는 경우도 적다. 증상은 단지 주위조직에 대한 압박정도이다. ii)악성종양: 침윤과 전이가 있고 퇴화도가 높은 세포로 구성됨. 기원세포가 상피조직일 경우 암종, 비상피성일 경우 육종으로 나누기도 한다. 치료에 잘 반응하지 않고, 재발을 잘 하며, 생존율이 낮다. 흔히 말하는 “암”을 의미한다. B. 조직학적 특징에 따라 샘종, 지방종, 근종 등으로 나누기도 한다. (2) 병리조직학적 특징 A. 육안적 소견 덩어리를 형성하기도 하고 정상조직에 스며들듯이 판상구조를 이루기도 하는 등 다양한 형태를 보인다. 양성의 경우 피막을 가진 경우가 많고 악성의 경우 없는 경우가 많다. 육안소견에 따라 다음과 같이 나눈다. 낭성, 융기성, 괴사성, 폴립모양, 궤양형 등이 있다. 또는 세포의 크기와 모양이 비정상적인 형태로 변화한다. 핵의 극성이 사라지고 핵의 염색성이 짙어진다. 세포질의 염색성도 변화하며 세포들간의 세포주기가 매우 다양해져 많은 세포분열을 보인다. 이러한 일련의 변화를 역형성이라 한다. 역형성의 정도에 따라 조직학적 등급을 나눈다. 또한 각 종양에 따라 각기 다른 병리조직학적 명칭을 붙인다. |

| multilocular adipose tissue | A thermogenic type of adipose tissue containing a dark pigment, and arising during embryonic life in certain specific areas in many mammals, including man. It is prominent in the newborn of all species in which it occurs and remains a distinct and conspicuous tissue in the adults of certain species, especially those that hibernate. It is also called brown adipose tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |

| primary lymphoid tissue | <anatomy> Tissue that is particularly rich in lymphocytes (and accessory cells such as macrophages and reticular cells), particularly the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, Peyer's patches, pharyngeal tonsils, adenoids and (in birds) the Bursa of Fabricius. Central lymphoid tissue: A term occasionally used as synonym for primary lymphoid tissue but should be avoided to prevent confusion between anatomical location, which is irrelevant and centrality in the system. Peripheral lymphoid tissue: Secondary lymphoid tissue, not necessarily located peripherally. Primary lymphoid tissue: Lymphoid tissues in which immune cells develop as opposed to the secondary or peripheral lymphoid tissues in which antigen independent or antigen dependent stages of maturation take place and in which responsive lymphocytes are found. Primary lymphoid tissues are foetal liver, adult bone marrow and thymus (and Bursa of Fabricius in birds). Secondary tissues are lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils and mucosa associated lymphoid tissue.
