Differentiated Granulocytic Sarcoma	NCIT_C35819	[A granulocytic sarcoma composed of promyelocytes and more mature neutrophils (WHO 2001). --2003]
Hematopoietic and Lymphoid System Neoplasm	NCIT_C35813	[Neoplasms of the hematopoietic system, including hematopoietic cell neoplasms (e.g. leukemias, lymphomas) and non-hematopoietic cell neoplasms that can affect the hematopoietic system (e.g. lymph node and splenic sarcomas). --2003]
Neoplasm by Site	NCIT_C3263	[A term that refers to the classification of a neoplastic process according to the anatomic site that is involved.]
Hematopoietic and Lymphoid System Disorder	NCIT_C35814	[Any deviation from the normal structure or function of the blood or lymphatic system that is manifested by a characteristic set of symptoms and signs.]
Disorder by Site	NCIT_C27551	[A term that refers to the classification of a disorder according to the anatomic site that is involved in the pathologic process.]
Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System	NCIT_C41165	[The bodily system of organs and tissues, primarily the bone marrow, spleen, tonsils, and lymph nodes, involved in the production of blood considered together with the interconnected system of spaces and vessels between body tissues and organs by which lymph circulates throughout the body.]
Myeloid Sarcoma	NCIT_C3520	[A tumor mass composed of myeloblasts or immature myeloid cells. It occurs in extramedullary sites or the bone. (WHO, 2001)]
Monoblastic Sarcoma	NCIT_C35816	[A less common form of myeloid sarcoma composed of monoblasts. Monoblastic sarcoma may precede or occur simultaneously with acute monoblastic leukemia. (WHO 2001)]
Acroparesthesia Syndrome	NCIT_C35810	[A disorder which affects sensation in the hands. Clinical signs usually include tingling or numbness with onset in middle-age. There is a female predominance among those affected.]
Adherence Syndrome	NCIT_C35811	[A disorder which limits movement of the eye following ocular surgery. It is caused by the inadvertent scarring down of the middle portion of the inferior oblique muscle at or near the insertion of the inferior rectus muscle. Clinical signs include hypotropia and excyclotropia. Surgical release of the incarcerated segment will usually correct the deviation of the affected eye.]
Malignant Lymph Node Neoplasm	NCIT_C35812	[A primary or metastatic malignant tumor involving the lymph node. Lymphomas and metastatic carcinomas are representative examples. -- 2004]
Lymph Node Neoplasm	NCIT_C35497	[A neoplasm involving the lymph node.]
Malignant Neoplasm	NCIT_C9305	[A tumor composed of atypical neoplastic, often pleomorphic cells that invade other tissues. Malignant neoplasms often metastasize to distant anatomic sites and may recur after excision. The most common malignant neoplasms are carcinomas (adenocarcinomas or squamous cell carcinomas), Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas, leukemias, melanomas, and sarcomas.]
Columnar Cell Variant Thyroid Gland Papillary Carcinoma	NCIT_C35830	[A morphologic variant of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland characterized by the presence of pseudostratified malignant follicular cells.]
Thyroid Gland Papillary Carcinoma	NCIT_C4035	[A differentiated adenocarcinoma arising from the follicular cells of the thyroid gland. Radiation exposure is a risk factor and it is the most common malignant thyroid lesion, comprising 75% to 80% of all thyroid cancers in iodine sufficient countries. Diagnostic procedures include thyroid ultrasound and fine needle biopsy. Microscopically, the diagnosis is based on the distinct characteristics of the malignant cells, which include enlargement, oval shape, elongation, and overlapping of the nuclei. The nuclei also display clearing or have a ground glass appearance.]
Subacute Granulomatous Thyroiditis	NCIT_C35828	[Self-limited inflammation of the thyroid gland characterized by the presence of multinucleated giant cells. Patients present with neck pain, often associated with fever and dysphagia. The clinical course includes an initial phase of hyperthyroidism, followed by a phase of hypothyroidism, and eventually a return to normal thyroid function.]
Subacute Thyroiditis	NCIT_C35071	[Self-limited inflammation of the thyroid gland. The clinical course includes an initial phase of hyperthyroidism, followed by a phase of hypothyroidism, and eventually a return to normal thyroid function. This category includes the subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis and subacute granulomatous thyroiditis.]
