What is neoplasia?

Abnormal cellular growth and differentiation

What are the three changes that occur during neoplasia?

Loss of control,


cells will suffer transformation,


change of metabolic need

Which cells suffer the change in neoplasia? and which are "innocent/supporting"?

Parenchymal suffer change, & Supporting


Stroma do no

Most benign tumors end in what suffix?


exceptions?

-oma


exception: lymphoma is malignant

Note:


"Which of the following are benign neoplasm?"


- learn the exception



eg. all -oma are benign except lymphoma, and others (learn)

Epithelial origin tumors are known as?

Carcinoma

Mesenchymal origin tumors are known as?

Sarcomas

Define Dysplasia

disorderly proliferation (non neoplastic)


- loss of cellular uniformity & orientation

Define Pleomorphism

Variation in size & shape


- hyperchromatic nuclei & more abundant


mitosis than usual

What does "carcinoma in situ" mean?

its when dysplasia affects the whole thickness of tissue i.e. beyond the basement membrane

What does anaplasia automatically mean?

implies malignant tumor

Describe Anaplasia

- Cellular pleomorphism & loss of


nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio to (1:1)


- abundant mitotic figures


- loss of polarity & architectural structures

What is the normal nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio?

1:4 or 1:6

What behaviour/ characteristics do the bengin tumour follow?

They resemble and retain cellular architecture with "normal" behaviour


- lack anaplasia, well differentiated


- microscopically & glossly innocent


appearance

List the Mesenchymal tumors (benign - Malignant)

Fibroma - Fibrosarcoma


Lipoma - Liposarcoma


Oseteoma - Osteosarcoma


Chondroma - Chondrosarcoma

List the epithelial & related tissue tumours (blood, lymph, synovial fluid, mesothelium, brain)


(benign - malignant)

Hemangioma - Angiosarcoma (blood vessels)


Lymphangioma - lymphangiosarcoma (lymph)


n/a - Synovial sarcoma


n/a - Mesothelioma (Malignant)


n/a - Meningioma - Invasive meningioma

List the blood & related cells tumors (benign - malignant)

n/a - Leukemias


n/a - Malignant lymphomas (exception to -oma rule)

List muscle tissue tumours (benign - malignant)

Leiomyoma - leiomyosarcoma


Rhabdomyoma - Rhabdomyosarcoma

List epithelial tissue tumours (benign - malignant)

Squamous cell papilloma - Squamous carcinoma & basal cell carcinoma


Adenoma - adenocarcinoma

List respiratory tumours (benign - malignant)

n/a - broncogenic carcinoma


n/a - carcinoid tumour

List neuroectoderm tumour (benign - malignant)

Nevus - Malignant melanoma

List Renal, liver and genital tumours (benign - malignant)

Renal tubular ademoma - renal cell carcinoma


Liver cell adenoma - hepatocellular carcinoma


Transitional cell papilloma - transitional cell carcinoma


Hydatidiform mole - choriocarcinoma seminoma


n/a - embryonal cell carcinoma

List mixed tumors (benign - malignant)

Pleomorphic adenoma - malignant mixed tumor of salivary glands origin


fibroadenoma - malignant cystosarcoma phylloides (breasts)


n/a - Wilms tumor (renal)


Mature teratoma - immature teratoma (totipotential cells in gonads or embryonic rests)

What is most common tumor in breasts? is it benign or malignant?

Fibroadenoma, benign & does NOT progress into carcinoma

Describe differentiation/anaplasia of Benign tumor

Well differentiated.


Structure may be typical of tissue of origin

Describe differentiation/anaplasia of Malignant tumor

Some lack of differentiation with anaplasia. Structure is often atypical

Describe rate of growth of Benign tumors

Progressive & slow.


May come to a standstill or regress.


mitotic figures are rare and normal

Describe rate of growth of malignant tumors

Erratic and may be slow or rapid.


mitotic figures may be numerous & abnormal

Describe the local invasion of benign tumors

Usually cohesive and expansile well - demarcaed masses that do NOT invade or infiltrate surrounding normal tissue

Describe the local invasion of malignant tummors

Locally invasive, infiltrating the surrounding normal tisues


sometimes may be seemingly cohesive & expansile

Does benign tumor metastasis?

no, absent

Does malignant tumor metastasis

Always


the larger & more undifferentiated the primary, the more likely they are metastasis

The malignant tumours are classified into what three stages?

Well


Moderate


Undifferentiated (anaplastic)

What is the second most common death in USA/

Cancer (1/4 will develop some kind of neoplasm with gender, age & genetic difference or predisposition)


remember: neoplasm is NOT the same as cancer
