| mucoepidermoid tumour | A malignant epithelial tumour of glandular tissue, especially the salivary glands, characterised by acini with mucus-producing cells and by the presence of malignant squamous elements. most mucoepidermoid tumours are low-grade lesions readily cured by adequate excision. They may appear in any age group. They grow slowly. If high-grade, they behave aggressively, widely infiltrating the salivary gland and producing lymph node and distant metastases. (12 Dec 1998) |

| carcinoma, mucoepidermoid | A tumour of both low- and high-grade malignancy. The low-grade grow slowly, appear in any age group, and are readily cured by excision. The high-grade behave aggressively, widely infiltrate the salivary gland and produce lymph node and distant metastases. Mucoepidermoid carcinomas account for about 21% of the malignant tumours of the parotid gland and 10% of the sublingual gland. They are the most common malignant tumour of the parotid.

| mucoepidermoid | Denoting a mixture of mucus-secreting and epithelial cells, as in mucoepidermoid carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mucoepidermoid carcinoma | <tumour> Most commonly a salivary gland carcinoma of low grade malignancy in children, but with variable malignancy in adults; composed of mucous, epidermoid, and intermediate cells, with mucous cells abundant only in low grade carcinoma's; recurrence is frequent, and high grade carcinoma's metastasize to cervical nodes. Synonym: mucoepidermoid tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acinar cell tumour | A solid and cystic tumour of the pancreas, occurring in young women; tumour cells contain zymogen granules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute splenic tumour | Acute splenitis, enlargement, and softening of the spleen, usually due to bacteraemia or severe bacterial toxaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoid tumour | Adenoma, or neoplasm with glandlike spaces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenomatoid odontogenic tumour | A benign epithelial odontogenic tumour appearing radiographically as a well-circumscribed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion usually surrounding the crown of an impacted tooth in an adolescent or young adult; characterised histologically by columnar cells organised in a duct-like configuration interspersed with spindle-shaped cells and amyloid-like deposition that gradually undergoes dystrophic calcification. Synonym: adenoameloblastoma, ameloblastic adenomatoid tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenomatoid tumour | A small, circumscribed, benign tumour of the genital tract, composed of small glandlike spaces lined by flattened or cuboidal mesothelium-like cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adipose tumour | <oncology, tumour> Clumps of fat cells. Literally, fat cancer. These are benign tumours that can form in the breast. (16 Dec 1997) |
| adrenal gland tumour | <oncology> A benign tumour or adenoma, that usually results in the excess production of adrenal gland hormones. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adrenal rest tumour | A rare, usually benign, ovarian tumour thought to be derived from embryonic rest cells of the adrenals. This tumour causes various degrees of masculinization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ameloblastic adenomatoid tumour | A benign epithelial odontogenic tumour appearing radiographically as a well-circumscribed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion usually surrounding the crown of an impacted tooth in an adolescent or young adult; characterised histologically by columnar cells organised in a duct-like configuration interspersed with spindle-shaped cells and amyloid-like deposition that gradually undergoes dystrophic calcification. Synonym: adenoameloblastoma, ameloblastic adenomatoid tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amyloid tumour | A localised form of amyloidosis in which amyloid occurs as masses or nodules beneath the skin or mucous membranes, e.g., in the larynx. Synonym: amyloid tumour, focal amyloidosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiomatoid tumour | A small, circumscribed, benign tumour of the genital tract, composed of small glandlike spaces lined by flattened or cuboidal mesothelium-like cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigens, tumour-associated, carbohydrate | Carbohydrate antigens expressed by malignant tissue. They are useful as tumour markers and are measured in the serum by means of a radioimmunoassay employing monoclonal antibodies. (12 Dec 1998) |
