Cancers on the right side of the large intestine (ascending colon and cecum) tend to be exophytic, that is, the tumor grows outwards from one location in the bowel wall. This very rarely causes obstruction of feces , and presents with symptoms such as anemia .
Vacuoles are more prominent in mucinous tumors but can be seen in serous tumors as well. Adenocarcinoma [1] (/ ˌ æ d ɪ n oʊ k ɑːr s ɪ ˈ n oʊ m ə /; plural adenocarcinomas or adenocarcinomata / ˌ æ d ɪ n oʊ k ɑːr s ɪ ˈ n oʊ m ə t ə /; AC) is a type of cancerous tumor that can occur in several parts of the body.
Normal (left) versus dysplastic (large at right) colonic crypts, the latter conferring a diagnosis of a tubular and/or villous adenoma. Histopathology of high-grade dysplasia in a tubulovillous adenoma, in this case seen mainly as loss of cell polarity, as cells become more plump and haphazard than the elongated and parallel nuclei of ...
Krukenberg tumors can be seen in all age groups, with an average age of 45 years. [2] In most countries, cancer that has metastasized to the ovary accounts for only about 1 to 2% of ovarian cancer; [2] in the remainder, the ovary itself is the primary cancer site. However, in Japan they represent a much higher percentage of malignancies in the ...
Pneumoperitoneum is pneumatosis (abnormal presence of air or other gas) in the peritoneal cavity, a potential space within the abdominal cavity.The most common cause is a perforated abdominal organ, generally from a perforated peptic ulcer, although any part of the bowel may perforate from a benign ulcer, tumor or abdominal trauma.
The resection is an attempt to remove a cancer tumor so that no portion of the malignant growth extends past the edges or margin of the removed tumor and surrounding tissue. These are retained after the surgery and examined microscopically by a pathologist to see if the margin is indeed free from tumor cells (called "negative"). If cancerous ...
Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the lung —previously included in the category of "bronchioloalveolar carcinoma" (BAC)—is a subtype of lung adenocarcinoma.It tends to arise in the distal bronchioles or alveoli and is defined by a non-invasive growth pattern.
Tumors range from several millimeters up to 10 cm, with larger tumors more frequently seen in older patients. If the tumor is bilateral, it is almost always seen in a VHL patient. The tumor destroys the mastoid air spaces and extends into the middle ear and/or posterior cranial fossa. [1] [3]
