  1. 3. Uncontrolled growth of cells that is not under physiologic control.
  2. 6. A rare benign tumour consisting of microscopically normal tissue derived from germ cell layers foreign to that body site.
  3. 8. Solid tumors. They form when cells fail to differentiate properly into their intended cell types before birth or in infancy and early childhood.
  4. 10. A tumor composed of tissues not normally present at the site (the site being typically in the gonads).
  5. 12. Refers to a condition, tumor, or growth that is not cancerous. This means that it does not spread to other parts of the body.
  6. 13. A benign cartilaginous tumor, which is encapsulated with a lobular growing pattern.
  7. 15. A cancer of the cells of the liver.
  8. 18. A form of skin cancer that begins in the cells that control the pigment in your skin.
  9. 19. A disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body.
  10. 20. A polyp made up of tissue that looks much like the normal lining of your colon.

  1. 1. A term used in histology and cytopathology to describe variability in the size, shape and staining of cells and/or their nuclei.
  2. 2. An abnormal growth of cells, also known as a tumor.
  3. 4. A benign epithelial tumor growing exophytically (outwardly projecting) in nipple-like and often finger-like fronds.
  4. 5. A benign (not cancer) growth made up of an abnormal mixture of cells and tissues normally found in the area of the body where the growth occurs.
  5. 7. The supportive tissue of an epithelial organ, tumor, gonad, etc., consisting of connective tissues and blood vessels.
  6. 9. A type of cancer that begins in germ cells in males.
  7. 11. A condition of cells with poor cellular differentiation, losing the morphological characteristics of mature cells and their orientation with respect to each other and to endothelial cells.
  8. 14. A malignant progressive disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce increased numbers of immature or abnormal leukocytes.
  9. 16. The study and treatment of tumors.
  10. 17. Cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.
