Abnormal division of cells results in the formation of aan?

Is neoplasia always cancerous growth?
Neoplasia refers to the growth of abnormal cells. When those cells form a mass, that mass is called "neoplasm". In neoplasia the cells are produced uncontrollably, meaning, more of them are produced as needed, and they have less time to differentiate (mature) into proper, functional cells. Neoplasm are considered to be either benign (not malignant), or malignant (cancerous) Benign neoplasm: - the cells produced more slowly, - have more time to differentiate, (cells are more able to function) - the proliferation (cell production) might even stop or revert - the formed mass could be enclosed in a capsule, (which could prevent spreading = metastasis) - might only be one mass. Malignant neoplasm: - cells produced rapidly, - have less time to differentiate (cells can't function) - does not have a capsule, - the mass invades the neighbouring tissues - cells can break off, carried away by blood - break off cell stops at other part of the body, where it starts an another mass (secondary tumour). Haematologic cancers (cancers affecting blood cells) do not form a mass, the blood cells would incontrolably proliferate. While the nature of the neoplasm could be differentiated as above, many health professionals do not regard neoplasm as "non-cancerous".
Do cartilage cells have a nucleus?
There is only one cartilage cell, a chondrocyte that does have a nucleus.
What are cells that are not cancerous and have no affect on health called?
When a doctor does a biopsy on a suspicious lump, sometimes she discovers it is a "benign tumor" -- the cells are benign, that is, they are not cancerous and have no effect on health.
What are all cells derived from?
Existing Cells
What is the icd9 for benign lymphoma of the retina?
224.5 Benign neoplasm of retina; abnormal growth of the cells without malignant charateristics.
Which is true of benign tumors?
It s a mass of cells that lack the ability to invade the neighboring tissue. Benign neoplasm have slower growth rates and have normal features. Examples of benign neoplasm are moles and uterine fibroids.
What is the medical term meaning slow-growing benign tumor derived from cartilage cells?
The most common is a pituitary adenoma. This tumor can produce high levels of the hormone prolactin. They are fairly common, but rarely require surgery. They are actually found in about 15% of all autopsies..Common presentation in women is lack of menses or periods.Prolactinoma.Pituitary adenoma is a benign tumor of the pituitary.
Can neoplasm be benign or malignant?
All cells, in any type of tissue, can become cancerous. Scientists still do not understand what triggers a healthy cell to "turn on" and become hyperactive and grow into cancer. Since all cancers begin as an over-creation of cells, doctors are certainly concerned about benign tumors. While not all benign tumors become cancerous, every benign tumor certainly has the potential of becoming cancerous. This is why doctors suggest first testing on abnormal cell growth, such as a darkening of the skin or hyperplasia on the cervix, and recommend regular follow-up testing on benign tumors or suggest the benign tumor be removed as soon as possible.
What is the medical term meaning nerve tumor?
Ganglioglioma is a tumor of the ganglion cells.
How are benign neoplasms different from malignant neoplasms?
A neoplasm is an abnormal mass of tissue that results when cells divide more than they should or do not die when they should.A malignant neoplasm is cancerous, and may spread to other parts of the body. A benign neoplasm is not cancerous. It may cause problems locally, but does not spread.Benign means it is not long-lasting. If you are talking about neoplasms or cancers, Benign means the tumor cannot undergo metastasis, whereas a Malignant tumor can and develop into advanced stages of Cancer.

What tumor affects both bone and cartilage?
osteochondroma A benign cartilaginous neoplasm that consists of a pedicle of normal bone (protruding from the cortex) covered with a rim of proliferating cartilage cells; may originate from any bone that is preformed in cartilage, but is most frequent near the ends of long bones, usually in patients 10-25 years of age; the lesion is frequently not noticed, unless it is traumatized or of large size; multiple osteochondromas are inherited and referred to as hereditary multiple exostoses.
What is the difference between Hyperplasia and Neoplasm?
Hyperplasia (or "hypergenesis") is a general term referring to the proliferation of cells within an organ or tissue beyond that which is ordinarily seen. Hyperplasia may result in the gross enlargement of an organ and the term is sometimes mixed with benign neoplasia/benign tumor. Neoplasm is an abnormal mass of tissue as a result of neoplasia. Neoplasia is the abnormal proliferation of cells. The growth of the cells exceeds, and is uncoordinated with that of the normal tissues around it. The growth persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli. It usually causes a lump or tumor. Neoplasms may be benign, pre-malignant or malignant.

What is the meaning of non-neoplastic findings?
Non-neoplasm findings is an abnormal mass of tissue that was not formed as a result of neoplasia. A neoplasm tumor is an abnormal growth of cells or an abnormal division of cells.
What are cells in the cartilage stimulated to become?
It stimulates the cells in cartilage to become osteoblasts.
