Polygon
Definition:
(n.) A plane figure having many angles, and consequently many sides; esp., one whose perimeter consists of more than four sides; any figure having many angles.
Example Sentences:

(4) Delimitation of the pathological process in the lung is characterized by an increase in the number of T- and B-lymphocytes and considerable predominance of polygonally shaped cells with cytoplasmic outgrowths of different lengths and their subsequent replacement by a cell form transitory between T- and B-lymphocytes.
