| inflammatory pseudotumour | A tumour-like mass in the lungs or other sites, composed of fibrous or granulation tissue infiltrated by inflammatory cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inflammatory response | A part of innate immunity. Inflammation occurs when tissues are injured by viruses, bacteria, trauma, chemicals, heat, cold or any other harmful stimulus. Chemicals including bradykinin, histamine, serotonin and others are released by specialised cells. These chemicals attract tissue macrophages and white blood cells to localise in an area to engulf (phagocytize) and destroy foreign substances. A byproduct of this activity is the formation of pus--a combination of white blood cells, bacteria and foreign debris. The chemical mediators released during the inflammatory response give rise to the typical findings associated with inflammation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| inflammatory rheumatism | Rheumatoid arthritis or other cause of joint inflammation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenomatous polyp | A polyp that consists of benign neoplastic tissue derived from glandular epithelium. Synonym: cellular polyp, polypoid adenoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
