Spanish term or phrase: Lemocitoma
Buenos días,

Estoy traduciendo un texto de español argentino a inglés británico sobre el tema de odontología y esta palabra me sale como una clase de cáncer en una lista de canceres relacionadas a la boca y la cabeza.

He buscado "lemocytoma" en inglés pero no encuentro resultados. He buscado "lemocitoma" en español y solo sale un resultado en una lista de tumores de la vaina del nervio. Esa es la palabra que busco, creo, pero la lista no tiene versión inglesa.

¿Me pueden ayudar?

Muchas gracias.

leiomyosarcoma
Explanation:
MPNST occurring in oral cavity, which is a rare site for the tumour, in a 35 year old female patient with history of swelling underneath the tongue present since one year diagnosed clinically as ranula is presented here. Histopathological examination of the excised mass showed features of spindle cell sarcoma following which a provisional diagnosis of MPNST was offered. The differential diagnosis considered were leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and spindle cell variant of squamous cell carcinoma (being the commoner tumour in oral cavity). Immunohistochemistry confirmed neural origin of the tumour. The case is reported in view of the rarity of the lesion in oral cavity.

Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a type of soft tissue sarcoma. Soft tissue sarcomas can develop in muscle, fat, blood vessels, or any of the other tissues that support, surround and protect the organs of the body.

Leiomyosarcoma is one of the more common types of soft tissue sarcoma to develop in adults. We don’t yet know the exact cause.

Leiomyosarcomas are usually treated at a specialist hospital. The usual treatment for a leiomyosarcoma is surgery to remove the tumour. You may have radiotherapy after surgery, to reduce the chance of the cancer coming back. Chemotherapy is also sometimes used for a leiomyosarcomas that has come back, or that has spread.

Sarcoma refers to a cancer that arises from transformed cells of mesenchymal origin. These tumors are most common in the bones, muscles, tendons, cartilage, nerves, fat, and blood vessels. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a type of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and is referred to as malignant smooth muscle tumor. STS occurs throughout life1 and can develop in muscle, fat, blood vessels or any of the other tissues that support or protect the organs of the body. STS spans a wide range of differentiation including adipocytes (liposarcoma), peripheral nerve tissues (malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor), smooth (leiomyosarcoma) or striated muscle (rhabdomyosarcoma), vascular tissues (angiosarcoma), and other origins (such as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma).

agree  Cecilia Gowar: I had not seen your post when I was writing mine, but I believe neurinoma or schwannoma would be the right terms.

  -> Thank you, Cecilia!
agree  Carole Wolfe: The Free Dictionary states that neurinoma is obsolete and that Schwannoma should be used.

agree  philgoddard: This is odd, because "lemocitoma" gets only seven Google hits, and some are Portuguese. I wonder if it's a typo.

  -> Thanks, Neil. I must admit I was surprised! Good that you changed the glossary.//Wow, that must have been annoying! Best to be philosophical! In this case it's just for an article I think, but worrying if a patient is told they've got the wrong cancer!
