| fibrocystic disease | <oncology, surgery> A noncancerous breast condition in which multiple cysts or lumpy areas develop in one or both breasts. It can be accompanied by discomfort or pain that fluctuates with the menstrual cycle. May be exacerbated by caffeine use. Large cysts can be treated by aspiration of the fluid they contain. (04 Nov 1997) |

| fibrocystic disease of breast | A chronic disorder comprising three variants which range from lesions consisting primarily of an overgrowth of fibrous tissue to those characterised by dominance of the proliferation of the epithelial parenchyma to a form of dysplasia characterised by both stromal and epithelial hyperplasia with the formation of cysts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibrocystic disease of the pancreas | <chest medicine> A generalised disorder of infants, children and young adults, in which there is widespread dysfunction of the exocrine glands, characterised by signs of chronic pulmonary disease (due to excess mucus production in the respiratory tract), pancreatic deficiency, abnormally high levels of electrolytes in the sweat and occasionally by biliary cirrhosis. There is an ineffective immunologic defense against bacteria in the lungs. Pathologically, the pancreas shows obstruction of the pancreatic ducts by amorphous eosinophilic concretions, with consequent deficiency of pancreatic enzymes, resulting in steatorrhoea and azotorrhoea and intestinal malabsorption. The degree of involvement of organs and glandular systems may vary greatly, with consequent variations in the clinical picture. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. (13 Nov 1997) |
| fibrocystoma | <tumour> A benign neoplasm, usually derived from glandular epithelium, characterised by cysts within a conspicuous fibrous stroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrocyte | <pathology> Stellate shaped cells present in connective tissue capable of forming collagen, an essential component of wound healing. The inactive form of the cell is referred to as a fibrocyte. (27 Sep 1997) |
| fibrodysplasia | Abnormal development of fibrous connective tissue. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, a generalised disorder of connective tissue in which bone replaces tendons, fasciae, and ligaments; a lethal genetic disorder inferred from indirect evidence to have autosomal dominant inheritance. See: fibrous dysplasia of bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibroelastic | Composed of collagen and elastic fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibroelastic membrane of larynx | A layer of fibrous and elastic fibres, taking the place of the submucosa in the larynx. It is divided by the laryngeal ventricle into two parts: the quadrangular membrane superiorly and the conus elasticus inferiorly. Synonym: membrana fibroelastica laryngis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibroelastosis | Excessive proliferation of collagenous and elastic fibrous tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibroenchondroma | <tumour> An enchondroma in which the neoplastic cartilage cells are situated within an abundant fibrous stroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibroepithelial polyp | A polypoid outgrowth of both epidermis and dermal fibrovascular tissue, common terminology for any small benign cutaneous lesion. Synonym: acrochordon, fibroepithelial polyp, fibroma molle, senile fibroma, soft wart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibroepithelioma | <tumour> A skin tumour composed of fibrous tissue intersected by thin anastomosing bands of basal cells of the epidermis; may give rise to basal cell carcinoma of the nodular type. Synonym: Pinkus tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrofatty | Relating to or containing both fibrous and fatty structures. Synonym: fibrofatty. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrofolliculoma | <tumour> Neoplastic proliferation of the fibrous sheath of the hair follicle, with solid extensions of the epithelium of the follicular infundibulum; multiple fibrofolliculoma's may be familial. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrogenesis | The production or development of fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |

| fibrous dysplasia |
Fibrous Dysplasia is a disease that causes growths or lesions in one or more bones of the human body. These lesions are tumor-like growths that consist of replacement of the medullary bone with fibrous tissue, causing the expansion and weakening of the areas of bone involved. Especially when involving the skull or facial bones, the lesions can cause externally visible deformities. The skull is often, but not necessarily, affected, and any other bone(s) can be involved. ...

| fibula |
The fibula (Calf Bone) is a bone placed on the lateral side of the tibia, with which it is connected above and below. It is the smaller of the two bones, and, in proportion to its length, the most slender of all the long bones. Its upper extremity is small, placed toward the back of the head of the tibia, below the level of the knee-joint, and excluded from the formation of this joint. ...

Fibromyalgia is a debilitating chronic syndrome (constellation of signs and symptoms) characterized by diffuse pain, fatigue, and a wide range of other symptoms. It is not contagious, and recent studies suggest that people with fibromyalgia may be genetically predispose. It affects more women than men, with a ratio globally of 3-5:1. Fibromyalgia is seen in 3-10% of the general population, and is mostly found between the ages 20 and 50. ...

| fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva |
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare disorder of the connective tissue, in which fibrous tissue (including bone, muscle, tendon, and ligament) is ossified and slowly turned into bone. This occurs when the fibrous tissue is damaged and is replaced with bone tissue, because the body's repair mechanism is mutated. These bony growths occur painfully and slowly over a period of weeks or months, and usually begin in the upper back and shoulders. ...

| fibrous joint |
----A joint is the location at which two bones make contact. Structurally, the joints are classified as:*fibrous - bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue.*cartilaginous - bones are connected by cartilage.*synovial - there is a space (synovial cavity) between the articulating bones.Functionally, they can be classified as:*synarthrosis - permit no movement.*amphiarthrosis - permit little movement.*diarthrosis - permit a variety of movements (e.g. flexion, adduction, pronation). ...
