cell mass Etymology: L, cella, storeroom, massa See inner cell mass. Patient discussion about cell mass. Q. what is the most accurate pathological test to identify the primary source of a cystic mass in the neck? the mass was removed. Pathologist was unable to identify the source and diagnosed the mass as a branchilogic carcinmoa (which is extremely rare, if exists at all). Therefore, I am looking for the most updated test and examinations that can be applied to blocks of the mass and determine their origin (primary source) A. Pathologic examinaions under a microscope are the most accurate ones there are, and sometimes even they don't help to identify the cell types. I do not have any other ideas on other tests you can do, and I believe you should follow the treatment your doctors will advise you based on this diagnosis they have made.

anemia is a decrease in whole body red cell mass, a definition that precludes relative decreases in red blood cell count, hemoglobin, or hematocrit, which occur when the plasma volume is increased. It develops into a blastocyst consisting of two groups of cells: an inner cell mass of embryonic stern-cells destined to form an embryo and peripheral cells destined to form the non-maternal parts of the placenta and membranes. The potential risks of testosterone administration include increases in red cell mass, worsening of sleep apnea, changes in plasma lipid levels, and fluid retention. |
