Ovarian (dermoid)

Sebaceous (wen)
The manner or method in which the growth occurs is known as
Non neoplastic changes
The non neoplastic change that is the excessive growth, an increase in size of a body part or organ by an increase in size of the cells already present is
Hypertrophy
The type of hypertrophy that is an increase in size of a body part or organ due to increased functional demand is
Physiological hypertrophy
The type of hypertrophy that is an an increase in size of a body part or organ due to disease such as brain tumors is
Pathological hypertrophy
The type of hypertrophy that is an increase in size of a body part or organ to compensate or make up for the loss of a similar or paired organ is
Compensatory hypertrophy
The non neoplastic change that is the excess growth, that is an increase in size of a body part or organ by an increase in the number of cells making it up is
Hyperplasia
The non neoplastic change that is beyond growth, the replacement of one type of tissue with another type that is not normally found in that part of the body is
Metaplasia
