A benign tumour from a glandular origin.
An abnormal growth of glandular epithelial tissue.
A benign neoplasm in which cells are derived from glandular epithelium.
A tumor that resembles a gland in its cellular structure.
A benign tumor formed from cells lining the inside of a surface or organ.
Tumor of a gland or cancerous growth in glandular epithelial tissue.
General term for a kind of tumor that arises from a gland, usually benign but capable of causing various diseases by triggering overproduction of certain hormones.
Benign epithelial tumor in which the cells are derived from glandular tissue or have a glandular structure. An adenoma may cause the affected gland to become overactive.
A benign (not cancerous) tumor of a glandular structure. Adenomas affect many organs such as the pituitary gland, the adrenal glands, and the thyroid glands.
A growth or cyst arising from the epithelium, a lining layer of cells on the inside of organs. Although usually benign, adenomas can, as they enlarge, press on adjacent tissue such as nerves or, in the case of an adenoma of the pituitary gland, on brain tissue, causing symptoms. Where adenomas arise in endocrine glands, such as the adrenals, pancreas, pituitary and thyroid, they can provoke excessive production of the hormone normally produced by the gland. If an adenoma is causing or is likely to cause symptoms it is usually surgically removed.
A benign tumor made of epithelial cells, usually arranged like a gland.
