| juvenile hyalin fibromatosis | A rare recessively inherited deforming disorder of head, neck, and generalised cutaneous nodules or tumours in children with normal mentality; the lesions consist of fibroblasts separated by an eosinophilic hyalin stroma composed mostly of glycosaminoglycans. Synonym: systemic hyalinosis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| juvenile palmo-plantar fibromatosis | Fibromatosis that occurs in children from birth to adolescence as a single poorly demarcated nodule of the thenar or hypothenar eminence or overlying the calcaneus of the mid-sole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibromatosis | 1. A condition characterised by the occurrence of multiple fibromas, with a relatively large distribution. 2. Abnormal hyperplasia of fibrous tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibromatosis, abdominal | A relatively large mass of unusually firm scarlike connective tissue resulting from active participation of fibroblasts, occurring most frequently in the abdominal muscles of women who have borne children. The fibroblasts infiltrate surrounding muscle and fascia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibromatosis, aggressive | A childhood counterpart of abdominal or extra-abdominal desmoid tumours, characterised by firm subcutaneous nodules that grow rapidly in any part of the body but do not metastasize. The adult form of abdominal fibromatosis is fibromatosis, abdominal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibromatosis colli | A fibrous mass in the midportion of the sternocleidomastoid muscle; the mass may be a haematoma resulting from a birth injury and may cause torticollis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibromatosis, gingival | Generalised or localised diffuse fibrous overgrowth of the gingival tissue, usually transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait, but some cases are idiopathic and others produced by drugs. The enlarged gingiva is pink, firm, and has a leather-like consistency with a minutely pebbled surface and in severe cases the teeth are almost completely covered and the enlargement projects into the oral vestibule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibromatosis virus of rabbits | A poxvirus of the genus Leporipoxvirus, closely related to vaccinia and myxoma viruses, that causes Shope fibroma. Synonym: fibromatosis virus of rabbits, Shope fibroma virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| conjunctivitis, inclusion | An infection of the eyes characterised by the presence in conjunctival epithelial cells of inclusion bodies indistinguishable from those of trachoma. It is acquired by infants during birth and by adults from swimming pools. The aetiological agent is chlamydia trachomatis whose natural habitat appears to be the genito-urinary tract. Inclusion conjunctivitis is a less severe disease than trachoma and usually clears up spontaneously. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Cowdry's type A inclusion bodies | Droplet-like masses of acidophilic material surrounded by clear halos within nuclei, with margination of chromatin on the nuclear membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Cowdry's type B inclusion bodies | Droplet-like masses of acidophilic material surrounded by clear halos within nuclei, without other nuclear changes during early stages of development of the inclusion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cytomegalic inclusion disease | <disease> An illness in newborns caused by viral infection, symptoms includefever, cellular enlargement, microscopically-visible clumps of viralparticles or proteins in the cytoplasm and nuclei of affected cells, enlargementof the spleen and liver. Long-term effects of the disease may includemental retardation. (09 Oct 1997) |
