| neoplasms, fibrous tissue | Neoplasms composed of fibrous tissue, the ordinary connective tissue of the body, made up largely of yellow or white fibres. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in fibrous tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| neoplasms, germ cell and embryonal | Neoplasms composed of primordial germ cells of embryonic gonads or of elements of the germ layers of the embryo. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the gonads or present in an embryo or foetus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, glandular and epithelial | Neoplasms composed of glandular tissue, an aggregation of epithelial cells that elaborate secretions, and of any type of epithelium itself. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the various glands or in epithelial tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, gonadal tissue | Neoplasms composed of ovarian or testicular tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the ovaries or testes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, hormone-dependent | Certain tumours that 1) arise in organs that are normally dependent on specific hormones and 2) are stimulated or caused to regress by manipulation of the endocrine environment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, mesothelial | Neoplasms composed of tissue of the mesothelium, the layer of flat cells, derived from the mesoderm, which lines the body cavity of the embryo. In the adult it forms the simple squamous epithelium which covers all true serous membranes (peritoneum, pericardium, pleura). The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in these organs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, muscle tissue | Neoplasms composed of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, or smooth. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in muscles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, nerve tissue | Neoplasms composed of nerve tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the nervous system or its component nerves. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, neuroepithelial | Neoplasms composed of epithelial cells of the nervous system. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the nervous system, nerves, or neural tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, posttraumatic | Cancers, tumours, or other neoplasms caused by or resulting from trauma or other non-radiation injuries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, squamous cell | Neoplasms composed of squamous cells of the epithelium. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in tissue composed of squamous elements. (12 Dec 1998) |
| 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) |
| supratentorial neoplasms | Neoplasms located above the tentorium cerebelli, a fold of dura mater separating the cerebellum from the cerebral cortex occipital and temporal lobes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ileal neoplasms | Neoplasms of the ileum including the ileocaecal valve. (12 Dec 1998) |
