In modern English, tumor (non-US spelling: tumour) is used as a synonym for a neoplasm (a solid or fluid-filled cystic lesion that may or may not be formed by an abnormal growth of neoplastic cells) that appears enlarged in size. [12] [13] Some neoplasms do not form a tumor; these include leukemia and most forms of carcinoma in situ.

Symptomatic features of paraneoplastic syndrome cultivate in four ways: endocrine, neurological, mucocutaneous, and hematological.The most common presentation is a fever (release of endogenous pyrogens often related to lymphokines or tissue pyrogens), but the overall picture will often include several clinical cases observed which may specifically simulate more common benign conditions.
Hematological malignancies are malignant neoplasms ("cancer"), and they are generally treated by specialists in hematology and/or oncology. In some centers "hematology/oncology" is a single subspecialty of internal medicine while in others they are considered separate divisions (there are also surgical and radiation oncologists).
The neoplastic grading is a measure of cell anaplasia (reversion of differentiation) in the sampled tumor and is based on the resemblance of the tumor to the tissue of origin. [1] Grading in cancer is distinguished from staging , which is a measure of the extent to which the cancer has spread .
Anaplasia (from Ancient Greek ἀνά (ana) 'backward' and πλάσις (plasis) 'formation') is a condition of cells with poor cellular differentiation, losing the morphological characteristics of mature cells and their orientation with respect to each other and to endothelial cells.
Ischaemic fasciitis, previously termed atypical decubital fibroplasia or decubital ischemic fasciitis, was thought to be a non-neoplastic lesion and to occur only in the deep subcutaneous tissue at pressure points or bone prominences but more recently has been found to be a benign neoplasm that can occur in a wider range of tissue sites.

Relative incidences of various pancreatic neoplasms, with cysts annotated at center right. [2] Also, non-neoplastic cysts include pseudocyst, retention cyst, benign epithelial cysts, lymphoepithelial cysts, squamous lined cysts (dermoid cyst and epidermal cyst in intrapancreatic accessory spleen), mucinous nonneoplastic cysts, and lymphangiomas.
