    Definition
     A neoplasm is an abnormal mass of tissue,
    the growth of which exceeds and is
    uncoordinated with that of the normal
    tissues and persists in the same excessive
    manner after cessation of the stimuli which
    evoked the change

    • Neoplasm is often referred to as a tumour
    • The study of tumours is called oncology
    (from Greek, oncos, ‘tumours, and ‘logos,’
    study of
    Nomenclature
    • In oncology, neoplasms are categorized into benign and
    malignant tumours.
    Benign Tumour Nomenclature
    • benign tumours are designated by attaching the suffix -
    oma to the cell type from which the tumour arises
    • Examples are;
    • Mesenchymal tumors
     chrondroma- cartilaginous tumor
     fibroma -fibrous tumor
     osteoma- bone tumor
    Cont..
    Epithelial tumor
     Adenoma
    neoplasms derived from glands
     Papillomas
    growing on any surface, that produce microscopic
    or macroscopic finger-like fronds.
     Polyp
    mass that projects above a mucosal surface, as in
    the gut, to form a macroscopically visible structure
    Cont...
     Cystadenomas
    hollow cystic masses, typically they are seen in
    the ovary
    Nomenclature of Malignant Tumours

    sarcomas
    Malignant neoplasms arising from mesenchymal
    tissue
    examples
     fibrosarcoma,
    cancer of fibrous tissue origin
     chondrosarcoma.
    malignant neoplasm composed of chondrocytes
    Cont...
    Carcinomas
    Malignant neoplasms of epithelial cell origin
     adenocarcinomas
    grow in a glandular pattern
     squamous cell carcinomas
    produce squamous cells
