Classified under:

Hyponyms (each of the following is a kind of "neoplastic cell"):
cancer cell (a cell that is part of a malignant tumor)
Context examples:
A WHO grade II tumor composed of a conspicuous mixture of two distinct neoplastic cell types morphologically resembling the tumor cells in oligodendroglioma and diffuse astrocytoma.
(Oligoastrocytoma, NCI Thesaurus/WHO)
A cystic adenocarcinoma characterized by the presence of relatively uniform neoplastic cells which produce pancreatic enzymes and are arranged in acinar patterns.
(Pancreatic Acinar Cell Cystadenocarcinoma, NCI Thesaurus)
The neoplastic cells exhibit small and uniform nuclei, mild pleomorphism, and rare mitotic figures.
(Pancreatic Intraductal Papillary-Mucinous Neoplasm with Low Grade Dysplasia, NCI Thesaurus)
It is classified as type 1 or 2, based on the cytoplasmic volume and the thickness of the lining neoplastic cells.
(Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma, NCI Thesaurus)
A rare, usually benign soft tissue neoplasm characterized by the presence of epithelioid, often vacuolated neoplastic cells.
(Parachordoma, NCI Thesaurus)
An immunohistochemical test result indicating that there are neoplastic cells stained positive with the p16 INK4a monoclonal antibody.
(p16 Positive Neoplastic Cells Present, NCI Thesaurus)
PI3K-mediated signaling is often dysregulated in cancer cells; the targeted inhibition of PI3K is designed to preserve PI3K signaling in normal, non-neoplastic cells.
(p110beta/delta PI3K Inhibitor GS-9820, NCI Thesaurus)
The neoplastic cells extend into the surrounding tissues, usually skeletal muscle.
(Oral Cavity Benign Granular Cell Tumor, NCI Thesaurus)
It is characterized by the proliferation of neoplastic cells that are similar to endometrial stromal cells.
(Ovarian Endometrioid Stromal Sarcoma, NCI Thesaurus)
A benign, borderline, or malignant epithelial neoplasm that arises from the ovary and is characterized by the presence of neoplastic cells that resemble urothelial cells and their neoplastic counterparts.
