25
benign epithelial cells that produces no glandular patterns but has its origin in the adrenal cortex would be termed as

37
type of teratoma | – less differentiated
Malignant (immature) teratoma
38
type of teratoma | – all the component parts are well differentiated
Benign (mature) teratoma
39
criteria for differentiating benign and malignant neoplasms
- Differentiation and Anaplasia - Rate of Growth - Local Invasion - Metastasis
40
Extent to which neoplastic cells resemble comparable normal cells, both morphologically and functionally
DIFFERENTIATION
41
Lack of differentiation -
Anaplasia
42
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES IN ANAPLASIA

43
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES IN ANAPLASIA | – disturbed orientation of cells

44
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES IN ANAPLASIA | – reflects high proliferative activity of parenchymal cells
Mitoses
45
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES IN ANAPLASIA | – abundance of DNA and dark staining (hyperchromatic),
Abnormal nuclear morphology
46
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES IN ANAPLASIA | variation in size and shape of cells and nuclei
Pleomorphism
47
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES IN ANAPLASIA | increase nucleo- cytoplasmic ratio (1:1),
Abnormal nuclear morphology
48
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES IN ANAPLASIA | coarsely clumped chromatin,
Abnormal nuclear morphology
49
MORPHOLOGIC CHANGES IN ANAPLASIA | large nucleoli
Abnormal nuclear morphology
50
is a term used to describe disorderly but non-neoplastic proliferation. = encountered in the epithelia
DYSPLASIA
51
= loss of uniformity of the individual cells and loss in their architectural orientation
DYSPLASIA
52
Dysplasia is __ if factors (e.g. Smoking) are eliminated
Reversible
53
– lesion marked by dysplastic changes involving the entire thickness of the epithelium, but NO INVASION OF BASAL EPITHELIUM
Carcinoma in situ
54
Most reliable feature of malignancy
Metastasis
55
MALIGNANT NEOPLASMS DISSEMINATE BY ONE OF THREE PATHWAYS:
Seeding within body cavities Lymphatic spread Hematogenous spread
56
Way of dissemination occur when neoplasms invade a natural body cavity.
SEEDING OF CANCERS
57
Way of dissemination Ex. carcinoma of the colon may penetrate the wall of the gut and reimplant at distant sites in the peritaoneal cavity
SEEDING OF CANCERS
58
Way of dissemination | Ex. cancers of the ovary, cover the peritoneal surfaces
SEEDING OF CANCERS
59
Way of dissemination | typical of carcinomas
LYMPHATIC SPREAD
60
Way of dissemination | depends on the site of the primary neoplasm and the natural lymphatic pathways of drainage of the site
LYMPHATIC SPREAD
61
Way of dissemination | Example: lung carcinomas arising in the respiratory passages
LYMPHATIC SPREAD
62
Way of dissemination | typical for sarcomas
HEMATOGENOUS SPREAD
63
are the most frequently involved secondary sites in hematogenous spread
LIVER and LUNGS
64
Radiant energy causes what cancer??
Squamous cell carcinoma Basal cell carcinoma Malignant melanoma
65
CLINICAL FEATURES OF TUMORS | symptom complexes in cancer patients that cannot be readily explained
Paraneoplastic syndromes
66
CLINICAL FEATURES OF TUMORS | expansile growth can destroy adjacent structures, endocrine gland neoplasm elaborate hormones
Local and hormonal effects
67
CLINICAL FEATURES OF TUMORS | progressive loss of body fat and lean body mass accompanied by weakness, anorexia and anemia
Cancer cachexia
68
GRADING AND STAGING OF TUMORS Based on the degree of differentiation of tumor cells and the number of mitoses
Grading
69
GRADING AND STAGING OF TUMORS Based on the size of the primary lesion, extent of spread to regional lymph nodes, presence or absence of metastases
Staging
70
The most common systems for staging employs the ___
TNM classification.
71
A __ score is based upon the size and/or extent of invasion.
T
72
The __ score indicates the extent of lymph node involvement.
"N"
73
The __ score indicates whether distant metastases are present.
"M"
74
Value of grading
as a guide for treatment | as a prognostic guide
75
