Study Notes
Tumor Classification
- Tumors are classified based on the tissue of origin and whether they are benign or malignant.
- Benign tumors are non-cancerous and often encapsulated, meaning they are contained within a membrane.
- Malignant tumors, also known as cancerous tumors, can invade surrounding tissues and spread to other parts of the body through a process called metastasis.
- Tumors can be categorized based on the type of cell they are composed of, which often reflects their tissue of origin.
Connective Tissue Tumors
- Benign: Fibroma (fibrous tissue), Lipoma (fat tissue), Chondroma (cartilage), Osteoma (bone)
- Malignant: Fibrosarcoma (fibrous tissue), Liposarcoma (fat tissue), Chondrosarcoma (cartilage), Osteogenic sarcoma (bone)
Endothelial and Related Tissue Tumors
- Benign: Hemangioma (blood vessels), Lymphangioma (lymphatic vessels), Mesothelioma (lining of body cavities)
- Malignant: Angiosarcoma (blood vessels), Lymphangiosarcoma (lymphatic vessels), Mesothelioma (lining of body cavities)
Brain Covering Tumors
- Benign: Meningioma (membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord)
- Malignant: Invasive meningioma (membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord)
Blood Cell and Lymphoid Tissue Tumors
- Malignant: Leukemias (cancerous blood cells), Lymphomas (cancerous cells in the lymphatic system)
Muscle Tumors
- Benign: Leiomyoma (smooth muscle), Rhabdomyoma (skeletal muscle)
- Malignant: Leiomyosarcoma (smooth muscle), Rhabdomyosarcoma (skeletal muscle)
Epithelial Tissue Tumors
- Benign: Squamous cell papilloma (stratified squamous epithelium), Adenoma (glandular epithelium), Papilloma (epithelial lining of body cavities), Cystadenoma (glandular epithelium), Bronchial adenoma (lining of the airways), Renal tubular adenoma (kidney tubules), Liver cell adenoma (liver cells), Urothelial papilloma (lining of the urinary tract), Hydatidiform mole (placental tissue)
- Malignant: Squamous cell or epidermoid carcinoma (stratified squamous epithelium), Basal cell carcinoma (skin cells), Adenocarcinoma (glandular epithelium), Papillary carcinomas (epithelial lining of body cavities), Cystadenocarcinoma (glandular epithelium), Bronchogenic carcinoma (lining of the airways), Renal cell carcinoma (kidney cells), Hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cells), Urothelial carcinoma (lining of the urinary tract), Choriocarcinoma (placental tissue)
Respiratory Passages Tumors
- Malignant: Bronchogenic carcinoma (lining of the airways)
Renal Epithelium Tumors
- Malignant: Renal cell carcinoma (kidney cells)
Liver Cell Tumors
- Benign: Liver cell adenoma (liver cells)
- Malignant: Hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cells)
Urinary Tract Epithelium Tumors
- Malignant: Urothelial carcinoma (lining of the urinary tract)
Placental Epithelium Tumors
- Malignant: Choriocarcinoma (placental tissue)
Testicular Epithelium Tumors
- Malignant: Seminoma (germ cells), Embryonal carcinoma (germ cells)
Melanocyte Tumors
- Benign: Nevus (pigmented skin lesion)
- Malignant: Malignant melanoma (pigmented skin cancer)
Mixed Tumors
- Benign: Pleomorphic adenoma (mixed tumor of salivary gland)
- Malignant: Malignant mixed tumor of salivary gland
Teratomas
- Benign: Mature teratoma (contains mature tissues), Dermoid cyst (fluid-filled sac containing tissues)
- Malignant: Immature teratoma (contains immature tissues), Teratocarcinoma (contains both malignant and mature tissues)
