Malignant Neoplasms
-- A term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control. Cancer cells can invade nearby tissues and can spread through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body.
Primary malignant neoplasm
--
polyps
-- Discrete abnormal tissue masses that protrude into the lumen of the DIGESTIVE TRACT or the RESPIRATORY TRACT. Polyps can be spheroidal, hemispheroidal, or irregular mound-shaped structures attached to the MUCOUS MEMBRANE of the lumen wall either by a stalk, pedunculus, or by a broad base.
Nodule
-- (NOD-yool) A growth or lump that may be cancerous or noncancerous.
Vocal Cord Polyp
--
Cyst
-- Any fluid-filled closed cavity or sac that is lined by an EPITHELIUM. Cysts can be of normal, abnormal, non-neoplastic, or neoplastic tissues.
Carcinoma of lung
-- A carcinoma originating in the lung. Lung carcinomas usually arise from the epithelium that lines the bronchial tree (bronchogenic carcinomas), and are classified as small cell or non-small cell carcinomas. Non-small cell lung carcinomas are usually adenocarcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, or large cell carcinomas. Metastatic carcinomas to the lung are also common, and can be difficult to distinguish from primary tumors.
Malignant neoplasm of lung
-- A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the lung
Mediastinal Mass
-- A mass present in the mediastinal space.
Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behavior of mediastinum
--
Vocal Cord Paralysis
-- Congenital or acquired paralysis of one or both VOCAL CORDS. This condition is caused by defects in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, the VAGUS NERVE and branches of LARYNGEAL NERVES. Common symptoms are VOICE DISORDERS including HOARSENESS or APHONIA.
Communication impairment
-- Disorders of verbal and nonverbal communication caused by receptive or expressive LANGUAGE DISORDERS, cognitive dysfunction (e.g., MENTAL RETARDATION), psychiatric conditions, and HEARING DISORDERS.
Hoarseness
-- An unnaturally deep or rough quality of voice.
Flash
--
Auscultation
-- Act of listening for sounds within the body.
Disease
-- A definite pathologic process with a characteristic set of signs and symptoms. It may affect the whole body or any of its parts, and its etiology, pathology, and prognosis may be known or unknown.
Trembling
--
Coughing
-- A sudden, audible expulsion of air from the lungs through a partially closed glottis, preceded by inhalation. It is a protective response that serves to clear the trachea, bronchi, and/or lungs of irritants and secretions, or to prevent aspiration of foreign materials into the lungs.
Mental Suffering
-- Severe psychological and/or spiritual distress.
Cerebrovascular accident
-- sudden neurologic impairment due to a cerebrovascular disorder, either an arterial occlusion or an intracranial hemorrhage.
Thyroid Nodule
-- A small circumscribed mass in the THYROID GLAND that can be of neoplastic growth or non-neoplastic abnormality. It lacks a well-defined capsule or glandular architecture. Thyroid nodules are often benign but can be malignant. The growth of nodules can lead to a multinodular goiter (GOITER, NODULAR).
Congenital Abnormality
-- Malformations of organs or body parts during development in utero.
Leukoplakia
-- A white patch lesion found on a MUCOUS MEMBRANE that cannot be scraped off. Leukoplakia is generally considered a precancerous condition, however its appearance may also result from a variety of HEREDITARY DISEASES.
Edema
-- Abnormal fluid accumulation in TISSUES or body cavities. Most cases of edema are present under the SKIN in SUBCUTANEOUS TISSUE.
Malignant tumor of supraglottis
-- A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the supraglottis.
Pyriform Fossa Carcinoma
--
Recurrent Carcinoma
--
Recurrent Malignant Neoplasm
-- Cancer that has returned after it had disappeared. It may return at the same site as the original (primary) tumor or in another location.
Carcinoma of larynx
-- (luh-RIN-jee-ul KAN-ser) Cancer that forms in tissues of the larynx (area of the throat that contains the vocal cords and is used for breathing, swallowing, and talking). Most laryngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas (cancer that begins in flat cells lining the larynx).
Malignant neoplasm of larynx
-- A primary or metastatic malignant tumor involving the larynx. The majority are carcinomas. -- 2003
Congenital laryngocele
--
Acquired laryngocele
--
Epiglottitis
-- Inflammation of the epiglottis.
Dental Plaque
-- A film that attaches to teeth, often causing DENTAL CARIES and GINGIVITIS. It is composed of MUCINS, secreted from salivary glands, and microorganisms.
Senile Plaques
-- Spherical masses consisting of amyloid fibrils and neuronal processes.
Symptoms
-- An indication that a person has a condition or disease. Some examples of symptoms are headache, fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and pain.
SPONDYLOMETAEPIPHYSEAL DYSPLASIA, SHORT LIMB-HAND TYPE
--
Asthenia
-- Clinical sign or symptom manifested as debility, or lack or loss of strength and energy.
Weakness
--
Airway Obstruction
-- Any hindrance to the passage of air into and out of the lungs.
Genu varum
--
Metastatic Carcinoma
-- A carcinoma which has spread from the original site of growth to another anatomic site.
Breast Carcinoma
-- (brest KAN-ser) Cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare.
Lupus Erythematosus
-- A chronic inflammatory connective tissue disease marked by skin rashes, joint pain and swelling, inflammation of the kidneys, inflammation of the fibrous tissue surrounding the heart (i.e., the pericardium), as well as other problems. Not all affected individuals display all of these problems. Also called systemic lupus erythematosus.
Granuloma
-- A relatively small nodular inflammatory lesion containing grouped mononuclear phagocytes, caused by infectious and noninfectious agents.
Pathology processes
-- structural and functional changes which cause or are caused by disease.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease
-- Retrograde flow of gastric juice (GASTRIC ACID) and/or duodenal contents (BILE ACIDS; PANCREATIC JUICE) into the distal ESOPHAGUS, commonly due to incompetence of the LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER. Gastric regurgitation is an extension of this process with retrograde flow into the PHARYNX or MOUTH.
Acute Laryngitis
--
Pain
-- An unpleasant sensation induced by noxious stimuli which are detected by NERVE ENDINGS of NOCICEPTIVE NEURONS.
Chronic Laryngitis
--
Eructation
-- The ejection of gas or air through the mouth from the stomach.
Burning sensation
--
