Label	Id	Description
Nevus of Ota	NCIT_C7583	[A brown, blue, or gray hamartoma of dermal melanocytes, usually on the skin of the face along the distribution of the ophthalmic and maxillary branches of the trigeminal nerve that is most commonly found in Asian populations and in females and is usually benign. It may also involve the oral or ocular mucosal surfaces, and periosteum.]
Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome	NCIT_C7584	[An autosomal dominant disorder defined by the presence of multiple dysplastic nevi and a history of melanoma in two family members. Patients are at an increased risk for the development of melanoma.]
Hereditary Melanoma	NCIT_C8498	[A melanoma defined by the presence of multiple cases of cutaneous melanoma among blood-relatives on the same side of the family. It is caused by germline mutations in the CDKN2A or CDK4 genes. It is associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in a subset of CDKN2A families (WHO, 2006).]
Skin Adamantinoid Basal Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C7585	[A rare but aggressive type of basal skin carcinoma. It is characterized by the presence of a meshwork of stellate tumor cells. It occurs most commonly in the nose and ears.]
Skin Basal Cell Carcinoma	NCIT_C2921	[The most frequently seen skin cancer. It arises from basal cells of the epidermis and pilosebaceous units. Clinically it is divided into the following types: nodular, ulcerative, superficial, multicentric, erythematous, and sclerosing or morphea-like. More than 95% of these carcinomas occur in patients over 40. They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck and the remaining 15% on the trunk and extremities. Basal cell carcinoma usually grows in a slow and indolent fashion. However, if untreated, the tumor may invade the subcutaneous fat, skeletal muscle and bone. Distant metastases are rare. Excision, curettage and irradiation cure most basal cell carcinomas.]
Skin Appendage Adenoma	NCIT_C7580	[A benign epithelial neoplasm arising from the sebaceous or sweat glands. Representative examples include sebaceous adenoma, tubular apocrine adenoma, and hidradenoma.]
Benign Skin Appendage Neoplasm	NCIT_C4615	[A non-metastasizing neoplasm that arises from the hair follicles, sebaceous glands, or sweat glands. Representative examples include cylindroma, hidrocystoma, hidradenoma, and sebaceoma.]
Microcystic Adnexal Carcinoma	NCIT_C7581	[A low grade adenocarcinoma with ductal differentiation, arising from the sweat glands. It presents as a scar usually in the face. It is characterized by the formation of small ducts and it frequently involves nerves and perineural spaces.]
Sweat Gland Carcinoma	NCIT_C6938	[A carcinoma arising from the sweat glands. Representative examples include tubular carcinoma, spiradenocarcinoma, eccrine carcinoma, hidradenocarcinoma, and apocrine carcinoma.]
Bone Liposarcoma	NCIT_C7598	[A very rare malignant adipose tissue neoplasm that arises from the bone.]
Common Germ Cell Tumor	NCIT_C7593
Common Connective and Soft Tissue Neoplasm	NCIT_C7594
Common Melanocytic Neoplasm	NCIT_C7595
Common Neuroendocrine Neoplasm	NCIT_C7590
Neuroendocrine Carcinoma	NCIT_C3773	[A malignant neuroendocrine neoplasm composed of cells containing secretory granules that stain positive for NSE and chromogranin. The neoplastic cells are often round and form clusters or trabecular sheets. Representative examples are small cell carcinoma, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, and Merkel cell carcinoma.]
High Grade Lung Neuroendocrine Neoplasm	NCIT_C45569	[A high grade malignant neoplasm that arises from the lung and is characterized by the presence of malignant neuroendocrine cells. This category includes small cell lung carcinoma, large cell lung neuroendocrine carcinoma, and combined lung carcinoma.]
Common Nervous System Neoplasm	NCIT_C7592
Grade 5 Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage, CTCAE	NCIT_C146590	[Death]
Grade 5 Upper Respiratory Infection, CTCAE	NCIT_C146591	[Death]
Grade 5 Ureteric Anastomotic Leak, CTCAE	NCIT_C146592	[Death]
