Ch 7 Neoplasia Flashcards
New growth. Uncontrolled proliferation of new cells
Neoplasia
Mass of new cells. Growth controlled and progressive
Neoplasm
Study of tumors or neoplasms
Oncology
Occurring outside of bone
Peripheral
Not malignant. Favorable for recovery. Gen slow growing
Benign
Malignant tumor (neoplasm) of epithelium
Carcinoma
Occurring within bone
Central
Disordered growth or organization of cells (no uniform look)
Characteristic of malignant
Dysplasia
Surrounded by capsule of fibrous CT
Characteristic of benign
Encapsulated
Abnormal increase in # of the normal arrangement of tissue
Hyperplasia
Antibody
Immunoglobin
Confined to site of origin without invasion of neighboring tissues
In situ
Infiltration and active destruction of surrounding tissues
(Prerequ for metastasis)
Invasion
White plaque like lesion of oral mucosa that can’t be wiped off and can’t be diagnosed as any other disease
Leukoplakia
Likely to cause death of host (tumor=resistant to tx)
Malignant
Transport of tumor cells to other parts of body. Removal from primary tumor
Metastasis
OG site of tumor. Site of metastasis
Primary tumor
Malignant tumor of CT
Less common but more deadly than carcinoma
Sarcoma
Neoplasm, also swelling or enlargement
Tumor
Absence of normal differentiation
Anaplasia
Characteristic of some malignant tumors
Undifferentiated
New growth
Cells exhibit uncontrolled proliferation (&unlimited)
Abnormal process
Neoplasia
4 Stages of Neoplasia
- Irreversible change takes place in CELLS
- Passed on to NEW CELLS
- Results in UNCONTROLLED CELL MULTIPLICATION
- Not controlled by process in body that maintains SIZE of normal tissues
Causes of neoplasia (4)
Chemicals
Genetic mutation
Radiation (sun, X-rays, nuclear accident)
Oncogenic viruses (cause tumor)
Benign or malignant ?
Usually well differentiated
Slow growing
Encapsulated (walled off by surrounding CT)
No metastasis (localized)
Benign
Benign or malignant
Well to poorly defined
Slow to rapid growth
Invasive and encapsulated
Metastasis likely
Malignant
Malignant tumors are… (4)
PPHA
Poorly differentiated (do not resemble normal cells they originate from)
Pleomorphic cells (vary in size and shape)
Hyper chromatic nuclei (darker than those of normal cells)
Abnormal mitosis (abnormal miotic shapes)
