NCIt definition : A malignant tumor arising from epithelial cells. Carcinomas that arise from glandular
epithelium are called adenocarcinomas, those that arise from squamous epithelium are
called squamous cell carcinomas, and those that arise from transitional epithelium
are called transitional cell carcinomas. Morphologically, the malignant epithelial
cells may display abnormal mitotic figures, anaplasia, and necrosis. Carcinomas are
graded by the degree of cellular differentiation as well, moderately, or poorly differentiated.
Carcinomas invade the surrounding tissues and tend to metastasize to other anatomic
sites. Lung carcinoma, skin carcinoma, breast carcinoma, colon carcinoma, and prostate
carcinoma are the most frequently seen carcinomas.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A malignant epithelial neoplasm.; NCI-GLOSS: Cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal
