| subacute lymphocyte thyroiditis | A subacute variant of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| nonsuppurative thyroiditis | <pathology> Inflammation of the thyroid gland without the formation of pus. Noninfectious nonbacterial thyroid inflammation (for example Hashimoto's thyroiditis). (27 Sep 1997) |
| de Quervain's thyroiditis | Thyroiditis with round cell (usually lymphocytes) infiltration, destruction of thyroid cells, epithelial giant cell proliferation, and evidence of regeneration; thought by some to be a reflection of a systemic infection and not an example of true chronic thyroiditis. Synonym: de Quervain's thyroiditis, giant cell thyroiditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyroiditis | <disease, endocrinology> Disease of the thyroid, especially Hashimoto's disease, in which autoimmune destruction of the thyroid takes place. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thyroiditis, autoimmune | A progressive disease of the thyroid gland with antibodies in the blood stream directed against the thyroid and infiltration of the gland by lymphoctes (a key type of white blood cells involved in the immune response). This immune response is against one's own thyroid. (it is autoimmune.) predominantly affects women. Can be familial. Also called hashimoto's disease or hashimoto's thyroiditis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| focal lymphocytic thyroiditis | Focal infiltration of the thyroid by lymphocytes and plasma cells. See: Hashimoto's thyroiditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ligneous thyroiditis | A rare fibrous induration of the thyroid gland, with adhesion to adjacent structures, which may cause tracheal compression. Synonym: chronic fibrous thyroiditis, ligneous struma, ligneous thyroiditis, Riedel's disease, Riedel's struma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphocytic thyroiditis | <endocrinology> Inflammation of the thyroid gland without the formation of pus. Noninfectious nonbacterial thyroid inflammation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| alpha cells of anterior lobe of hypophysis | Acidophil cell's that constitute about 35% of the cell's of the anterior lobe. There are two varieties: one that elaborates somatotropin, another that elaborates prolactin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior lobe of hypophysis | An alternate term for adenohypophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery of caudate lobe | Origin, left branch of proper hepatic; distribution, caudate lobe of the liver. Synonym: arteria lobi caudati. (05 Mar 2000) |
