exophytic

These cancers can grow in either an infiltrative or exophytic pattern.

Surgery is particularly useful for tumours that grow out (exophytic) from the brain stem.

In the case of exophytic T1 N0 lesions, radiation therapy alone may be considered for treatment.

This method is known as exophytic egg laying.

Less typically, the lesion may be hyperplastic or lobulated and exophytic.

It is a slow growing, diffuse, exophytic lesion usually covered by Leukoplakik patches.

The lesions consist of exophytic nodules protruding from mucosal surfaces.

Focal, tectal, and exophytic cervicomedullary tumors are generally low-grade tumors.

The surface texture is irregular compared to homogenous leukoplakia, and may be flat (papular), nodular or exophytic.

An established PVL lesion is usually thick and exophytic (prominent), but initially it may be flat.

Some early stage (T1 and T2), low-volume, exophytic pyriform sinus carcinomas have been successfully treated with radiation alone.

Chemotherapy with agents such as a carboplatin and vincristine may be effective in children with recurrent low-grade exophytic gliomas.

Polypoid basal-cell carcinoma is a cutaneous condition characterized by exophytic nodules (polyp-like structures) on the head and neck.

Cancers on the right side (ascending colon and cecum) tend to be exophytic, that is, the tumour grows outwards from one location in the bowel wall.

PUNLMPs are exophytic lesions that appear friable to the naked eye and when imaged during cystoscopy.

The erythematous to violaceous cutaneous lesions seen in KS have several morphologies: macular, patch, plaque, nodular, and exophytic.

Villous plaque is characterized by exophytic epicardial thickening, meaning that the growth is occurring at the border of the epicardium and not the center of mass.

Lesions of the tonsillar fossa may be either exophytic or ulcerative and have a pattern of extension similar to those of the anterior tonsillar pillar.

Some verrucous leukoplakias may have an exophytic growth pattern, and some may slowly invade surrounding mucosa, when the term proliferative verrucous leukoplakia may be used.

For small exophytic lesions that do not extensively involve the major vessels or urinary collecting system, a partial nephrectomy (also referred to as "nephron sparing surgery") can be performed.

According to clinical and radiological evidence of involvement, cancers of the lower gingiva that are exophytic and amenable to adequate local excision may be excised to include portions of bone.

Retiform hemangioendothelioma (also known as a "Hobnail hemangioendothelioma") is a low-grade angiosarcoma, first described in 1994, presenting as a slow-growing exophytic mass, dermal plaque, or subcutaneous nodule.

These most frequently arise in the tectum of the midbrain, focally, within the pons, or at the cervicomedullary junction where they are often exophytic, and have a far better prognosis than diffuse intrinsic tumors.
