Adenoma

MedGen UID:: 125
•Concept ID:: C0001430
•: Neoplastic Process

Synonym:	Adenomas
SNOMED CT:	Benign adenomatous neoplasm (443416007); Benign adenomatous neoplasm (1187227004); Adenoma (1187375007); Adenoma (1187379001); Benign adenoma (1187379001)

Monarch Initiative:	MONDO:0004972

Definition

A neoplasm arising from the epithelium. It may be encapsulated or non-encapsulated but non-invasive. The neoplastic epithelial cells may or may not display cellular atypia or dysplasia. In the gastrointestinal tract, when dysplasia becomes severe it is sometimes called carcinoma in situ. Representative examples are pituitary gland adenoma, follicular adenoma of the thyroid gland, and adenomas (or adenomatous polyps) of the gastrointestinal tract. [from NCI]
