| neoplasms, vascular tissue | Neoplasms composed of vascular tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sublingual gland neoplasms | Neoplasms of the sublingual glands. (12 Dec 1998) |

Therapeutic treatments include tumour resection, ventriculoperitoneal shunt, subdural peritoneal shunt, ventricular drainage, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| iris neoplasms | Tumours of the iris characterised by increased pigmentation of melanocytes. Iris nevi are composed of proliferated melanocytes and are associated with neurofibromatosis and malignant melanoma of the choroid and ciliary body.

| epidural neoplasms | Neoplasms located in the epidural space, at or above the dura mater of the spinal cord. (12 Dec 1998) |
| trophoblastic neoplasms | Trophoblastic growth, which may be gestational or nongestational in origin. Trophoblastic neoplasia resulting from pregnancy is often described as gestational trophoblastic disease to distinguish it from germ cell tumours which frequently show trophoblastic elements, and from the trophoblastic differentiation which sometimes occurs in a wide variety of epithelial cancers. Gestational trophoblastic growth has several forms, including hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| jaw neoplasms | Cancers or tumours of the maxilla or mandible unspecified. For neoplasms of the maxilla, maxillary neoplasms is available and of the mandible, mandibular neoplasms is available. (12 Dec 1998) |
