tumoral cell types

Semiology

- small cells : small cell tumors / small cell carcinomas
- tumoral round cells : round cell tumors

- tumoral fusiform cells : furisform cell tumors / spindle cell tumors
- tumoral rhabdoid cells : rhabdoid cell tumors / rhabdoid tumors
- tumoral signet-ring cells : signet ring cell tumors
- tumoral oncocytic cells / oncocytes / Hürtle cell : oncocytic tumors

- tumoral spumous cells (lipid-laden tumoral cells )
- tumoral plasmacytoid cells : plasmocytoid cell tumors
- tumoral giant cells : giant cell tumors
- tumoral cuboidal cells
- tumoral columnar cells

  • cuboidal or columnar cells with clear cytoplasm

- tumoral large cells (large cell tumors )

  • large round cells with clear cytoplasm

- tumoral cells with eccentric nuclei with pale cytoplasm

  • small cells with eccentric nuclei with pale cytoplasm
    • signet ring cells
  • large cells with eccentric nuclei with pale cytoplasm
