|---|---|
| adenoid cystic carcinoma | <tumour> A histologic type of carcinoma characterised by large epithelial masses containing round, glandlike spaces or cysts which frequently contain mucus or collagen and are bordered by a few or many layers of epithelial cells without intervening stroma, forming a cribriform pattern like a slice of Swiss cheese; perineural invasion and haematogenous metastasis are common; occurs most commonly in salivary glands. Synonym: cylindromatous carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoid facies | The open-mouthed and often dull appearance in children with adenoid hypertrophy, associated with a pinched nose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoid squamous cell carcinoma | <tumour> A malignant neoplasm consisting chiefly of glandular epithelium (adenocarcinoma), usually well differentiated, with foci of metaplasia to squamous (or epidermoid) neoplastic cells. Synonym: adenoid squamous cell carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoid tissue | A structure found within the lymphatic system that consists of lymphocytes within a network of fibres. (09 Oct 1997) |
| adenoid tumour | Adenoma, or neoplasm with glandlike spaces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoidal-pharyngeal-conjunctival virus | <virology> An icosahedral (20-sided) virus that contains DNA, there are over 40 different adenovirus varieties, some of which cause the common cold. (10 May 1997) |
| adenoidectomy | <procedure, surgery> The surgical removal of the adenoid glands. Indications include airway obstruction, nasal obstruction, sleep apnoea and chronic ear infections. (27 Sep 1997) |

| adenoids | 1. A normal collection of unencapsulated lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx. Also called pharyngeal tonsils. 2. Common terminology for the large (normal) pharyngeal tonsils of children. Origin: G. Aden, gland, + -eidos, resemblance (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinoma, adenoid cystic | Carcinoma characterised by bands or cylinders of hyalinised or mucinous stroma separating or surrounded by nests or cords of small epithelial cells. When the cylinders occur within masses of epithelial cells, they give the tissue a perforated, sievelike, or cribriform appearance. Such tumours occur in the mammary glands, the mucous glands of the upper and lower respiratory tract, and the salivary glands. They are malignant but slow-growing, and tend to spread locally via the nerves. (12 Dec 1998) |
