Label	Id	Description
Parotid Gland Carcinosarcoma	NCIT_C35832	[An aggressive, high grade malignant tumor that arises from the parotid gland. It is characterized by the presence of a malignant epithelial and a sarcomatous component.]
Malignant Parotid Gland Mixed Tumor	NCIT_C5945	[A malignant tumor arising from the parotid gland. It includes carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, a malignant epithelial tumor arising from a pre-existing pleomorphic adenoma and carcinosarcoma which is characterized by a mixture of malignant epithelial and sarcomatous elements.]
Salivary Gland Cystadenoma	NCIT_C35833	[An uncommon benign epithelial tumor, characterized by predominantly unicystic or multicystic growth; there is focal intraluminal papillary proliferation of the lining epithelium. Nearly half occur in the parotid gland. In the minor salivary glands, women are affected more than men. In the major salivary glands, cystadenomas present as slowly enlarging, asymptomatic masses that may be slightly compressible. Cystadenocarcinoma is the malignant counterpart.]
Cystadenoma	NCIT_C2972	[A benign or borderline cystic epithelial neoplasm arising from the glandular epithelium. The epithelial cells line the cystic spaces which contain serous or mucinous fluid. Representative examples include ovarian and pancreatic cystadenomas.]
Benign Epithelial Neoplasm	NCIT_C4092	[A neoplasm arising from the epithelial cells. It is characterized by the absence of morphologic features associated with malignancy (severe cytologic atypia, tumor cell necrosis, and high mitotic rate). Benign epithelial neoplasms remain confined to the original site of growth and only rarely metastasize to other anatomic sites.]
Salivary Gland Intraductal Papilloma	NCIT_C35834	[An intraluminal papillary proliferation that causes unicystic dilatation of the duct and may have features in common with papillary cystadenoma. It is quite rare, and involves almost exclusively the excretory ducts of intraoral minor salivary glands. It presents as an asymptomatic submucosal swelling. -- 2003]
Intraductal Papilloma	NCIT_C3785	[An intraluminal papillary epithelial neoplasm arising within the ducts. Representative examples are the intraductal breast papilloma and the salivary gland intraductal papilloma.]
How Much Did Ringing, Buzzing, Whistling Noises Interfere with Your Daily Activities	NCIT_C131894	[A question about how much an individual's daily activities were interfered with by ringing, buzzing, or whistling noises.]
How Much Did Ringing, Buzzing, Whistling Noises Make it Hard to Pay Attention to Things	NCIT_C131895	[A question about how hard it was for an individual to concentrate because of ringing, buzzing, or whistling noises.]
Head and Neck Carcinoma	NCIT_C35850	[A carcinoma that arises from the head and neck region. Representative examples include oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and salivary gland carcinoma.]
Malignant Head and Neck Neoplasm	NCIT_C4013	[A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm affecting the head and neck. Representative examples include oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and salivary gland carcinoma.]
Carcinoma	NCIT_C2916	[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.]
How Often Did Ringing, Buzzing, Whistling Noises Make it Hard to Fall Asleep	NCIT_C131896	[A question about how often ringing, buzzing, or whistling noises make or made it hard for an individual to fall asleep.]
Grade 1 Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C35851	[A clear cell renal cell carcinoma characterized by absent or inconspicuous and basophilic nucleoli at x 400 magnification. (WHO 1982 /ISUP 2014)]
Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C4033	[A malignant epithelial neoplasm of the kidney characterized by the presence of lipid-containing clear cells within a vascular network. The tumor may metastasize to unusual sites and late metastasis is common.]
How Often Did Ringing, Buzzing, Whistling Noises Wake You from Sleep	NCIT_C131897	[A question about how often ringing, buzzing, or whistling noises woke an individual up from sleep.]
Grade 2 Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C35852	[A clear cell renal cell carcinoma characterized by nucleoli conspicuous and eosinophilic at x 400 magnification, and visible but not prominent at x 100 magnification. (WHO 1982 /ISUP 2014)]
No Hearing Problems	NCIT_C131898	[A response indicating that an individual did not have hearing problems.]
DNA Repair Protein RAD51 Homolog 3	NCIT_C21209	[DNA repair protein RAD51 homolog 3 (376 aa, ~42 kDa) is encoded by the human RAD51C gene. This protein is involved in the homologous recombination pathway for DNA repair.]
AVP Gene Product	NCIT_C131899	[A protein encoded by the AVP gene.]
