| ureteral neoplasms | Neoplasms or tumours of the ureter. Haematuria, which occurs in 75% of patients with ureteral carcinoma, is the most common presenting symptom.

| areolar tissue | Loose, irregularly arranged connective tissue that consists of collagenous and elastic fibres, a protein polysaccharide ground substance, and connective tissue cells (fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells, and sometimes fat cells, plasma cells, leukocytes, and pigment cells). (05 Mar 2000) |

| brown 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.
