Exceptions to -oma
Seminoma – testicular cancer
lymphoma (lymph node malignancy)
glioma (malignancy of glial cells)
mesothelioma (pleural/ peritoneal serosa malignancy), neuroblastoma (malignancy of neuroblasts)
benign epithelial neoplasm derived from glands
Adenoma
Benign epithelial neoplasms producing finger-like or warty projections from epithelial surfaces
Papilloma
form large cystic masses (i.e ovary)
Cystadenoma
produce papillary patterns and protrude into cystic spaces
Papillary cystadenoma
a neoplasm, benign or malignant, that produces a macro visible projection above a mucosal surface and projects (i.e into gastric or colonic lumen)
Polyp
Carcinoma Give examples (3)
Malignant neoplasms of epithelial cell origin, derived from any of the three germ layers
Examples:
Epidermis (ectoderm)
Cells of renal tubules (mesoderm)
Cells lining GI tract (endoderm)
neoplastic epithelial cells grow in glandular patterns
Adenocarcinoma
Define cancer of clonal origin
benign and/or malignant neoplasms, the parenchymal cells bear a close resemblance - derived from a single cell (monoclonal origin)
Define mixed tumor
divergent differentiation of a single neoplastic clone along two lineages
Teratoma
What kind of cells?
contains recognizable mature or immature cells or tissues representative of more than one germ cell layer and sometimes all three
Totipotent cells
