Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neoplasia means new growth. It is a process in which cells exhibit uncontrolled proliferation. A neoplasm is a mass of such cells. Although the word tumor means swelling, it is commonly used as a synonym for neoplasm. Metastasis is transport of neoplastic cells to parts of the body remote from the primary tumor and the establishment of new tumors at those sites. Hypertrophy means the cells have increased in size. Hyperplasia is an abnormal increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue.
