Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that develops from cells that would normally become skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is the muscle that moves the arms, legs, and other parts of the body. It is a type of sarcoma, a cancer that begins in the body’s connective tissues. It is one of four main types …

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that develops from cells that would normally become skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is the muscle that moves the arms, legs, and other parts of the body. It is a type of sarcoma, a cancer that begins in the body’s connective tissues. Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common type …

Well differentiated neuroendocrine tumour (NET) of the stomach is a rare type of cancer that starts from neuroendocrine cells in the lining of the stomach. Neuroendocrine cells are specialized cells that receive signals from the nervous system and release hormones into the bloodstream. NETs grow more slowly than other types of stomach cancer and often …

A fibroma of the oral cavity is a common benign (non-cancerous) growth in the lining of the mouth. It is made of fibrous connective tissue, the same firm, supportive tissue found throughout the body. Rather than a true tumor, a fibroma is the mouth’s response to repeated irritation or injury: when the lining is injured …

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive type of thyroid cancer. It starts from follicular cells, the cells that normally make thyroid hormone, but over time, these cells change so much that they no longer look or behave like thyroid cells. For this reason, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is sometimes called undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma. …

Apocrine cells are a type of glandular cell found in specific areas of the body, particularly in the skin. Under the microscope, apocrine cells are large and round with a visible central nucleolus (a small structure inside the nucleus). Their cytoplasm, the material surrounding the nucleus, often looks bright pink on a hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) …

The term oncocytic is used by pathologists to describe cells that appear bright pink under the microscope when stained with a routine stain called hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). These cells look pink because their cytoplasm (the body of the cell) is packed with mitochondria, which are small structures that produce energy for the cell. The …

A vocal cord nodule is a benign (non-cancerous) growth on a vocal cord, inside the larynx or voice box. It forms in response to repeated injury to the delicate lining of the vocal cord, usually from heavy or strained use of the voice. Rather than a true tumor, a nodule is the vocal cord’s version …

Cylindroma is a non-cancerous type of skin tumour that develops from sweat glands normally found in the skin. People with Brooke–Spiegler syndrome (BSS) commonly develop multiple cylindromas. This syndrome is associated with an alteration in the gene CLYD. Where are cylindromas found? Cylindromas are typically found on the head and neck, but the upper chest …
