A non-cancerous (benign) tumour found on glandular (mucous-producing) linings in the body. With bowel cancer, the word is sometimes used instead of polyp.
Small, benign (non cancerous) tumor.
A benign (non-cancerous) tumor that arises in or resembles glandular tissue.
a benign tumor of a glandular structure
Benign tumor within a gland or body part with a glandular structure.
A benign tumour (not a cancer) that starts in gland tissue or has a gland-like appearance. An adenoma may become malignant (cancerous) if it is not treated.
a type of noncancerous tumour
Benign tumour occurring in glandular epithelium or forming recognizable glandular structures. RT adenocarcinoma.
A benign tumor on an endocrine gland, such as a thyroid adenoma
A benign tumor usually made up of gland or gland-like cells. It may crowd out surrounding healthy tissues.
a benign growth of glandular tissue cells
a benign growth or cancer that has a very low risk of spreading or expanding
an abnormal growth within the colon that can eventually become a cancerous growth, according to Dr
a part of the gland that has walled itself off from the rest of the gland, forming noncancerous (benign) lumps that may cause an enlargement of the thyroid
a type of polyp which is pre-malignant
Benign tumor, or non-inflammatory growth usually found in the mammary glands.
Glandular lesion thought to be the precursor to colorectal cancer.
Specific type of polyp with the potential to become cancerous
A benign growth of glandular cells, for example, those that line the inside of the colon or rectum. There are 3 types of colorectal adenomas: tubular, villous, and tuberovillous.
A benign tumor made up of glandular tissue. For example, an adenoma of the pituitary gland may cause it to produce abnormal amounts of hormones.
A benign neoplasm (tumor) composed of glandular tissue. Adhesion molecules A large family of molecules occurring at the surfaces of cells. They allow cells to adhere to other cells of the same or different type, or to connective tissue elements such as collagen.
A benign tumor in the epithelial tissue—the tissue covering the insides and outsides of parts of the body-- in which the cells of the tumor form glandular structures or in which the cells come from glandular epithelium.
benign growths which often appear on glands or in glandular tissue.
A benign growth formed of glandular tissue.
A benign tumor having the origin or structure of a gland
A usually benign tumor arising from a gland, such as a pituitary adenoma.
A benign tumor that arises in or resembles glandular tissue. If it becomes cancerous, it is called an adenocarcinoma.
An ordinarily benign growth of epithelial tissue in which the tumor cells form glands or gland-like structures that tend to exhibit glandular function.
noncancerous tumor Angiosarcoma: type of cancer that begins in the lining of blood vessels.
An ordinarily benign neoplasm of epithelial tissue. If an adenoma becomes cancerous, it is known as an adenocarcinoma.
Benign prostate tumor. A prostate adenoma is sometimes called a benign prostatic hyperplasia.
benign tumour formed from glandular structures in epithelial tissue.
A benign epithelial tumor in which the cells form recognizable glandular structures or in which the cells are clearly derived from the glandular epithelium.
A benign tumor or growth. A pituitary adenoma is not cancerous.
An benign (nonmalignant) tumor of skin tissue
A benign polyp that may be precancerous.
A begin tumor of an endocrine gland, such as a parathyroid adenoma. More about this.
A benign tumor of glandular origin.
benign tumour of glandular tissue.
A benign growth originating in the glandular tissue of the breast that can compress adjacent tissue as it grows in size. ( See also fibroadenoma).
a benign tumour with a gland-like structure or developed from the glandular epithelium
A benign tumor of glandular tissue. These tumors are often well-defined and usually stay contained. Fibroadenoma is a major cause of false positive readings in mammography.
an epithelial tumor of glandular origin and structure that is usually benign or of low-grade malignancy
Benign (non-cancerous) polyps that are considered precursors, or the first step toward colon and rectal cancer
A benign (non-cancerous) tumor made up of cells that form glands (collections of cells surrounding an empty space.)
(add-uh-no-ma) : a benign growth starting in the glandular tissue. See also, fibroadenoma.
An ordinarily benign neoplasm or dissolution of glandular tissue in which the tumor cells form glands or glandlike structures in the stroma.
A noncancerous tumour of glandular tissue.
A tumor made up of glandular tissue. Adenoma is benign. Its malignant counterpart is called Adenocarcinoma.
An adenoma is a collection of growths (-oma) of glandular origin. Adenomas can grow from many organs including the colon, adrenal, pituitary, thyroid, etc. These growths are benign, but some are known to have the potential, over time, to transform to malignancy (at which point they become known as adenocarcinoma.)
