any neoplastic disorder of lymphoid tissue, including hodgkin’s disease.

29
Q

peau d’ orange

A

A swollen pitted skin surface overlying carcinoma of the breast in which there is both stromal infiltration and lymphatic obstruction with edema.

30
Q

sarcoma

A

A tumor, often highly malignant, composed of cells derived from connective tissue such as bone, cartilage, muscle, blood vessel, or lymphoid tissue; sarcomas usually develop rapidly and metastasize through the lymph channels.

31
Q

remission

A

diminution or abatement of the symptoms of a disease; the period during which such diminution occurs.

32

a highly malignant tumor arising in striated muscle or in embryonal mesenchymal cells that exhibit differentiation along rhabdomyoblastic lines, including but not limited to the presence of cells with recognizable cross striations.

47
Q

malignant neoplasm

A

a tumor that tends to grow, invade, and metastasize. The tumor usually has an irregular shape and is composed of poorly differentiated cells. If untreated, it may result in death.

48
Q

leiomy/o

A

smooth (visceral) muscle

49
Q

metastasis

A
  1. the transfer of disease from one organ or part to another not directly connected with it.

See also cancer. 2. a growth of pathogenic microorganisms or of abnormal cells distant from the site primarily involved by the morbid process. adj., adj metastat´ic.
