✔✔polyp - ✔✔Benign neoplasm found in epithelial tissue. Found in the lining of
intestinal tract, trachea, esophagus, stomach, colon. ranges in sizes and often removed
due to bleeding and blocking of bowel.
✔✔Osteoma - ✔✔Benign neoplasm found in the connective tissue. Originates in or
consists of bone tissue, mostly in bones of face or skull.
✔✔Chondroma - ✔✔Benign neoplasm found in the connective tissue. Tend to arise
from the base of the skull near the pituitary gland. composed of cartilage formed by the
meninges that surround the brain and spinal cord.
✔✔lipoma - ✔✔Benign neoplasm found in the connective tissue. Composed of fat cells
usually seen in soft tissue not bone tissue
✔✔Angioma: lymphangioma, hemangioma - ✔✔Benign neoplasm found in the
connective tissue. Consists of blood vessels. two types lymphangiona which is tumors
in lymph vessels and hemagioma which is tumors in blood vessels, birthmarks are
hemangiomas of the capillaries.
✔✔Fiberoma - ✔✔Benign neoplasm found in connective tissue. composed of fibrous
tissue. can ossify and destroy maxilla and mandible and ovaries.
✔✔myoma - ✔✔Benign neoplasm found in muscle tissue
✔✔rhabdomyoma - ✔✔Benign neoplasm found in muscle tissue. Most common cardiac
tumors in the fetus, neonates and young children due to excessive growth of muscle
elements in the walls of the heart.
✔✔leiomyoma - ✔✔Benign neoplasm found in muscle tissue. arise from smooth muscle
and be anywhere smooth muscle is present including the tunica media within artery
walls and veins
✔✔Neuroma - ✔✔Benign neoplasm of nervous tissue. acoustic neuromas can effect
balance hearing and facial muscles. can also occur in peripheral nerves of feet which
can cause pain in the call and numbness traveling to the toes which a clicking sound
called Mulders sign when the foot is squeezed
✔✔Melanoma - ✔✔Malignant cancer of the epithelial tissue. cancer of the skin that
begins in melanocytes which make skin pigment called melanin. causes most skin
related deaths and exacerbated by sunlight
, ✔✔squamous cell carcinoma - ✔✔malignant cancer of the epithelial tissue. arises from
the epidermis and resembles squamous sells in the outer layer of skin. second most
common skin cancer. can be inherited or due to sun
✔✔Adenocarcionma - ✔✔Malignant cancer of the epithelial tissue. has tubular, acinar,
or papillary growth patters or mucus production by the tumor cells. basically looks like
tissues of a gland and they can produce fluids. most likely to occur in lungs, esophagus,
colon or salivary glands and can cause edema. Most common lung cancer aka non
small cell carcionmas.
✔✔The three P's of adenocarcionma - ✔✔peripheral, pigmented and puckered. it
occurs at the periphery of the lung just below the membranes surrounding the lugs
called pleura which is retracted or puckered over the neoplasm. the combo of black
pigmentation and the mucus secreted by the tumor gives it a glistening pale gray color.
✔✔transitional cell carcinoma - ✔✔Malignant cancer of the epithelial tissue. most
common cancer of the urinary system arising from the transitional epithelium lining the
urinary system and is fatal unless treated
✔✔basal cell carcinoma - ✔✔Malignant cancer of the epithelial tissue. most common
form of skin cancer and most common of all cancers.
✔✔Osteosarcoma - ✔✔Malignant cancer of the connective tissue. bone cancer appears
as hard white tissues with scattered areas of flesh like tissue that bleeds. rapid and
aggressive and spreads to lungs in early stages, chemotherapy
✔✔Chondrosarcoma - ✔✔Malignant cancer of the connective tissues composed of
cartilaginous cells. affects cartilage of femur arms pelvis, knee and spine. can be
treated by surgery, radiation, chemo, and physical therapy
✔✔liposarcoma - ✔✔Malignant cancer of the connective tissue composed of fat cells.
surgical excision.
✔✔angiosarcoma.... lymphangiosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma. - ✔✔Malignant cancer of
the connective tissue composed of blood vessels. Uncommon. aggressive spreading.
Lymphangiosarcoma is tumors of lymph vessels and hemangiosarcoma is of blood
vessels
✔✔fibrosarcoma - ✔✔Malignant cancer of the connective tissue composed of fibrous
connective tissues. most often occurs in the extremities and from pathological fractures.
occurrence is common and can be fatal
✔✔Lymphoma aka lymphosarcoma - ✔✔Malignant cancer of the connective tissue.
cancer of the lymphatic system which can include the lymph nodes, spleen, blood, bone
