| vermiform appendix | A wormlike intestinal diverticulum extending from the blind end of the caecum; it varies in length and ends in a blind extremity. Synonym: appendix vermiformis, appendix ceci, processus vermiformis, vermiform appendage, vermiform process, vermix. (05 Mar 2000) |

| mesentery of appendix | The short mesentery of the appendix lying behind the terminal ileum, in which the appendicular artery courses. Synonym: mesenteriolum processus vermiformis, mesentery of appendix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ruptured appendix | <surgery> Advanced appendicitis (delayed surgery) can result in a ruptured appendix. Clinically, the patient will have increased abdominal pain, diffusely over the entire abdomen (rather than just the right-lower quadrant. The fever usually becomes high-grade (over 101 degrees Fahrenheit) and the white blood cell count that typically exceeds 20,000 cells per cubic millimetre. Surgery for this condition is associated with higher morbidity. (17 Dec 1997) |
| Morgagni's appendix | <anatomy> An inconstant narrow lobe of the thyroid gland that arises from the upper border of the isthmus and extends upward, sometimes as far as the hyoid bone; it marks the point of continuity with the thyroglossal duct. Synonym: lobus pyramidalis glandulae thyroideae, Lallouette's pyramid, Morgagni's appendix, pyramid of thyroid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ostium of vermiform appendix | The opening of the vermiform appendix into the lumen of the caecum. Synonym: ostium appendicis vermiformis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epiploic appendix | A finger-like projection of fat attached to the colon. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibrous appendix of liver | A fibrous process, into which the tip of the left lobe of the liver may taper out, that passes with the left triangular ligament to be attached to the diaphragm. Synonym: appendix fibrosa hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal hyperplasia | <pathology> A condition of diffuse enlargement of the adrenal glands. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (27 Sep 1997) |
| adrenal hyperplasia, congenital | A group of inherited disorders of adrenal steroidogenesis, the physical expression of which varies with the sex of the patient, the severity of the congenital enzyme defect, and the age at which the defect makes its presence felt. The most common form, the simple virilizing form, is due to a 21-hydroxylase deficiency. There is also a salt-losing form (a more complete 21-hydroxylase deficiency), a hypertensive form (11-hydroxylase deficiency), a 17-hydroxylase deficiency form, a desmolase deficiency form, and a 3-beta-hydroxysteroid deficiency form. (12 Dec 1998) |
| angiofollicular mediastinal lymph node hyperplasia | Solitary masses of lymphoid tissue containing concentric perivascular aggregates of lymphocytes, occurring usually in the mediastinum or hilar region of young adults; similar changes have been reported outside the mediastinum and, if associated with interfollicular sheets of plasma cells, may progress to lymphoma or plasmacytoma. Synonym: angiofollicular mediastinal lymph node hyperplasia, Castleman's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia | Solitary or multiple benign cutaneous nodules comprised of immature and mature vascular structures intermingled with endothelial cells and a varied infiltrate of eosinophils, histiocytes, lymphocytes, and mast cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atypical melanocytic hyperplasia | Proliferation of melanocytes showing nuclear atypicality, especially as scattered single cells high in the epidermis; interpreted by some pathologists as malignant melanoma in situ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal cell hyperplasia | Increase in the number of cells in an epithelium resembling the basal cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benign giant lymph node hyperplasia | Solitary masses of lymphoid tissue containing concentric perivascular aggregates of lymphocytes, occurring usually in the mediastinum or hilar region of young adults; similar changes have been reported outside the mediastinum and, if associated with interfollicular sheets of plasma cells, may progress to lymphoma or plasmacytoma. Synonym: angiofollicular mediastinal lymph node hyperplasia, Castleman's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| benign prostatic hyperplasia | <urology> A benign enlargement of the prostate gland begins normally after age 50 years probably secondary to the effects of male hormones. If significant enlargement occurs, it may pinch off te urethra making urination difficult or impossible. See: urinary retention. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (06 Aug 1998) |
