Any part of the body will occur in any organization tumor, can occur benign tumor, malignant tumors can also occur, so a wide range of tumors. Characteristics vary, the need for scientific classification and naming. Correctly grasp the tumor classification and naming the principles and methods to help the tumor has a system concept for each specific tumor can determine the correct diagnosis name, and when you see the name of the tumor, we can understand what it is a long position, originated in what the organization is a benign tumor or a malignant tumor, which could be further analyze its properties, to provide a basis for medical treatment.
The naming of tumor
Naming is based on the principles of tumor growth and location, the origin and growth characteristics of the organization, mainly to distinguish between benign and malignant names.
1. Benign tumors are named as "the origin of the growth of sites + Organization + tumors." Such as long in the back, from a long out of benign adipose tissue tumors, called back, lipoma, and such the same may be called the facial hemangioma, such as uterine fibroids. Benign tumor from the lining epithelium (skin, bladder, etc.), often to the surface of tumor tissue showed papillary protrusions, known as papillary tumors, such as the bladder papilloma, papilloma of the penis and so on. Columnar epithelium from the mucosa of the benign tumors collectively referred to as adenomas, such as the gastrointestinal tract adenomas, thyroid tumors, breast adenoma, etc.; some adenoma secretion retention due to the opening into the cyst, special called cystadenoma, it is customary also known as cysts, such as ovarian cystadenoma.
2. Malignancies mainly in the following two different names:
Cancer (Carcinoma). Malignant tumor from the epithelial tissue called the cancer ( "cancer" word in our ancient books and rock the same word to describe the cancer tissue in general hard, and some prominent Aikuai surface, as if rock). Sometimes, the origin of inter-organizational differences between cancer cells and large, can not tell exactly what kind of epithelium derived from, then known as the "undifferentiated carcinoma."
Sarcoma. From mesenchymal tissue sarcoma, malignant tumor is called (this type of cancer than the general texture of soft, delicate aspect, showing pink, shaped like a fish, hence the name). Originated in different mesenchymal tissue sarcoma, named as "the origin of the growth of sites + Organization + sarcoma", such as back fat, sarcoma, gastric leiomyosarcoma, cervical lymph nodes and other lymphatic sarcoma.
3. Other Name
In addition to these benign tumors, malignant tumor of the general principles and methods of naming, there are some special name, mainly in the following several cases originated in the embryonic tissue or immature organization of malignant tumor, known as the mother cell tumors, such as Wilms tumor. From the nerve tissue of certain malignant tumors, also known as × × mother cell tumors, such as neuroblastoma, nerve glioblastoma, retinoblastoma, etc.. In addition, there are a small number of benign tumors of "neuroblastoma," the name, such as muscle blastoma, etc..
Hematopoietic cells and tissues derived from a class of cancer used to known as "leukemia", such as myeloid leukemia, lymphocytic leukemia.
Originated in the placental tissue of a benign tumor known as the mole; malignant tumor called choriocarcinoma.
Tumor tissue include one or more than two germ layer differentiation to a variety of organizations, saying that is not mixed tumor.
Tumor tissue includes not only the three germ layers to the various tissues and organs opening into the structure, known as teratomas, such as testicular teratoma, ovarian dermoid cyst.
