| avian leukaemia-sarcoma complex | A term applied to a group of transmissible virus-induced diseases of chickens causing sarcoma, myeloblastosis, erythroblastosis, leukosis, osteopetrosis, and lymphomatosis. These agents are closely related viruses (avian leukosis-sarcoma virus) causing prolferation of immature erythroid, myeloid, or lymphoid cells, a division of the RNA tumour viruses (subfamily Oncovirinae) causing the avian leukosis-sarcoma complex of diseases; the viruses are subgrouped according to antigenic characteristics and growth in defined types of tissue culture cells. Synonym: avian erythroblastosis virus, avian leukosis-sarcoma virus, avian lymphomatosis virus, avian myeloblastosis virus, avian sarcoma virus, fowl erythroblastosis virus, fowl lymphomatosis virus, fowl myeloblastosis virus.

| avian sarcoma | <tumour> A fibrosarcoma, originally observed in a Plymouth Rock hen, now thought to be an expression of infection by certain viruses of the avian leukosis-sarcoma complex in the family Retroviridae. Synonym: avian sarcoma, Rous tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| avian sarcoma virus | avian leukosis-sarcoma complex |
| botryoid sarcoma | <tumour> A polypoid form of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma which occurs in children, most frequently in the urogenital tract, characterised by the formation of grossly apparent grapelike clusters of neoplastic tissue that consist of rhabdomyoblasts, spindle, and stellate cells in a myxomatous stroma; neoplasms of this type grow relatively rapidly and are highly malignant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medullary sarcoma | <tumour> A soft, extremely vascular sarcoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granulocytic sarcoma | <tumour> A malignant tumour of immature myeloid cells, frequently subperiosteal, associated with or preceding granulocytic leukaemia. See: chloroma. Synonym: myeloid sarcoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periosteal sarcoma | <tumour> A form of osteogenic sarcoma of relatively low malignancy, probably arising from the periosteum and initially involving cortical bone and adjacent connective tissue, which occurs in middle-aged as well as young adults and most commonly affects the lower part of the femoral shaft. Synonym: periosteal sarcoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rous sarcoma | <tumour> A fibrosarcoma, originally observed in a Plymouth Rock hen, now thought to be an expression of infection by certain viruses of the avian leukosis-sarcoma complex in the family Retroviridae. Synonym: avian sarcoma, Rous tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rous sarcoma virus | <virology> The virus responsible for the classic first cell free transmission of a solid tumour, the chicken sarcoma, first reported by Rous in 1911. An avian C type oncorna virus, original source of the src oncogene. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Rous sarcoma virus protease | <enzyme> Has been sequenced; crystallographic structure has been determined Registry number: EC 3.4.23.- Synonym: protease, rous sarcoma virus, rous sarcoma virus aspartic protease (26 Jun 1999) |
| Moloney murine sarcoma virus | <molecular biology, virology> Replication defective retrovirus, source of the oncogene v mos, responsible for inducing fibrosarcomas in vivo and transforming cells in culture. (18 Nov 1997) |
| moloney sarcoma virus | A replication-defective murine sarcoma virus (sarcoma viruses, murine) isolated from a rhabdomyosarcoma by moloney in 1966. (12 Dec 1998) |
| multiple idiopathic haemorrhagic sarcoma | <oncology, tumour> A type of vascular cancer characterised by soft purple nodules that usually develop first on the feet and then slowly spread across the skin.This cancer is most often found in people with compromised immune systems, such as AIDS patients. (09 Oct 1997) |
| murine sarcoma virus | A seemingly defective retrovirus that produces sarcomas in mice when growing in the presence of a "helper" virus; e.g., mouse leukaemia virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
