An abnormal growth characterized by uncontrolled cellular proliferation. It may or may not be cancerous.
A tissue growth or tumor that may be benign or malignant.
Any new abnormal growth. A neoplasm may be malignant or benign.
any abnormal new gowth of tissue or tumour.
A neoplasm is a new and abnormal growth of tissue. A neoplasm can be cancerous or non-cancerous. Cancerous neoplasms can be invasive, widespread or seeded. Non-cancerous neoplasms can be localized and contained, but may harm other normal tissue by local pressure or displacement.
a tumor or growth; tissue that develops abnormally or grows more rapidly than normal and lacks structural organization and functional coordination with normal tissue.
Any new growth of cells or tissues but the term is customarily used with rather specific reference to a focus (or a relatively large mass or region) of intermittently or constantly progressive, comparatively unlimited, or uncontrolled new growth that manifests varying degrees of autonomy.
A new growth. May be benign or malignant.
Any abnormal growth in the body. A neoplasm may be benign or malignant.
An abnormal mass of tissue whose growth is potentially unlimited compared with that of normal tissues; can be benign or malignant (cancerous).
An abnormal and uncontrolled growth of tissue; a tumour.
Localized cell multiplication. Generally it designates a collection of cells which have undergone genetic transformation, forming a tumour. Neoplasmic cells differ in structure and function from the original cell type.
(NEE oh plazm): Abnormal growth characterized by uncontrolled cellular proliferation.
a general term that includes any new or abnormal growth, either benign or malignant.
An aberrant new growth of abnormal cells or tissue in which the growth is uncontrollable and progressive.
Any abnormal new growth of tissue; tumour
an abnormal swelling or growth. It can be benign or malignant. It is also known as a tumour.
An abnormal growth that starts from a single altered cell. It can be benign or malignant.
new or abnormal tissue growth that is uncontrollable and progressive.
A localized population of proliferating cells in an animal that are not governed by the usual limitations of normal growth. The neoplasm is said to be benign if it does not undergo metastasis and malignant if it undergoes metastasis. PAC P1 artificial chromosome, used as a cosmid, that can accommodate large sizes of DNA (Zabarovska, V.I. et al., 2002)
an abnormal new mass of tissue that serves no purpose
an abnormal growth of cells arising from malfunctions in the regulatory mechanisms that oversee the cells' growth and development
an abnormal growth of tissue that has no useful function
malignant (cancerous) growth
An abnormal new growth of tissues or cells. Neoplasms can be benign or malignant.
A new growth of tissue serving no physiological function
An abnormal growth of tissues from a single cell. A neoplasm can be cancerous or noncancerous. Cancer is sometimes called a malignant neoplasm.
A new growth of tissue or cells; a tumour that is generally malignant.
a proliferation of cells that is progressive, purposeless, and interferes with the surrounding tissue.
A new but abnormal growth of tissue. It may or may not indicate cancer.
An abnormal growth or tissue, as a tumor.
any abnormal growth of new tissue; a proliferation of cells no longer under normal physiologic control. These may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
a growth that is not normal (see tumor).
another word for a tumour that literally means 'new formation'
A new growth of tissue serving no physiologic function.
Any new or abnormal growth, specifically a new growth of tissue in which the growth is uncontrolled.
"New growth," or any abnormal growth of tissue that serves no physiological function; cancer.
Any new, abnormal growth. These growths may be benign or malignant, but the term is generally used to describe a cancer.
A new and abnormal formation of tissue, as a tumor
Tissue composed of cells that grow in an abnormal way. Also known as a tumor.
A new growth of tissue in which the growth is abnormal, uncontrolled, and progressive. Malignant neoplasms are also called "tumors" or "cancer."
General term for a tumor, whether cancerous or noncancerous.
Literally, ‘new formation’; a term for a diseased new growth or tumour.
Another term for a tumor (may be benign or malignant).
New, abnormal, uncontrolled growth of the cranial bones or mandible. The tumors are usually benign in the TM joints.
Abnormal formation of tissue as a tumor or growth. Serves no useful function and grows at the expense of healty tissue.
An abnormal growth (tumor) that starts from a single altered cell; a neoplasm may be benign or malignant. Cancer is a malignant neoplasm.
a growth of skin or tissue
A mass of newly formed tissue in which the growth of tissue is uncontrolled and progressive; a tumor.
a new and abnormal growth of cells, commonly used to describe cancer.
Abnormal growth of tissue that may or may not cause cancer. Also called tumor.
A tumor. An abnormal growth. May be benign or malignant.
New tissue, growth. Used to indicate tumour s, cancers.
A new growth of tissue. Can be referred to as benign or malignant. Back to
A tumor or growth, whether benign or malignant.
A new growth. A growth that exceeds that of surrounding normal tissue.
A tumor, either benign or malignant.
A new and abnormal formation of tissue, as a tumour or growth. It serves no useful function, but grows at the expense of the healthy organism.
A tumor, or mass of abnormal tissue.
An abnormal and uncontrolled growth of tissue; a tumor.
An abnormal growth of tissue that may be benign or malignant.
A synonym for cancerous tissue.
see Tumour; Carcinogenesis; Carcinoma in which the growth is uncontrolled and progressive. Malignant neoplasms are distinguished from benign in that the former show a greater degree of anaplasia.
A new growth of benign or malignant tissue.
