Comprehensive Radiographic Pathology
chapter 1 Terms 100% Verified
Hyperplasia ✔️✔️increase in the number of the cells in a tissue or organ
dysplasia ✔️✔️Loss of uniformity of individual cells and their architectural orientation
neoplasia ✔️✔️Ungoverned abnormal proliferation of cells
latin word for "new growth"
abnormal proliferation of cells that are no longer controlled by the factors
act as parasites, competing with normal cells and tissues for their metabolic needs.
tumors may flourish and the pt becomes weak and emaciated(cachexia)
oncolgy ✔️✔️study of neoplasms (tumors)
benign ✔️✔️growth that closely resembles the cells of origin in structure and function
malignant ✔️✔️neoplastic growth that invades and destroys adjacent structures
metastasize ✔️✔️Malignant neoplasms that travel to distant sites
cacinoma ✔️✔️malignant neoplasm of epithelial cell orgin
anaplastic ✔️✔️Undifferentiated cell growth - without form (bizarre)
sarcoma ✔️✔️Highly malignant tumor originating from connective tissue
, lymphatic spread ✔️✔️Major route by which carcinoma metastasizes
hematogenous ✔️✔️malignant tumor that have invaded the circulatory system and travel as
neoplastic emboli
grading ✔️✔️Assessment of aggressiveness or degree of malignancy
staging ✔️✔️1) extensiveness of tumor at the primary site
2) presence or absence of metastases to lymph nodes and distant organs
epidemiology ✔️✔️study of determinants of disease events in given population
morbidity ✔️✔️Rate that an illness or abnormality occurs
mortality ✔️✔️Reflects the number of deaths by disease per population
neoplasms ✔️✔️are divided into benign and malignant categories on the basis of their potential
clinical behavior
-oma ✔️✔️tumor arose
fibromas ✔️✔️benign tumors of fibrous tissue
adenoma ✔️✔️benign epithelial neoplasm that grow in glandlike patterns
cystadenomas ✔️✔️benign tumors that form large cystic masses
