| osteitis deformans | This is a disease of bone that initially results in the excessive resorption of bone (by osteoclasts) followed by the replacement of normal bone marrow with vascular and fibrous tissue. Many patients are asymptomatic and diagnosed by routine X-rays. (27 Sep 1997) |

| articulatio fibrosa | A union of two bones by fibrous tissue such that there is no joint cavity and almost no motion possible; the types of fibrous joints are sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses. Synonym: articulatio fibrosa, immovable joint, junctura fibrosa, synarthrodia, synarthrodial joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchiolitis fibrosa obliterans | Obstruction of bronchioles and alveolar ducts by fibrous granulation tissue induced by mucosal ulceration; the condition may follow inhalation of irritant gases (see silo-filler's lung) or may complicate pneumonia (see BOOP); associated with obstructive findings (see unilateral hyperlucent lung, Swyer-James syndrome). Synonym: bronchiolitis obliterans. (05 Mar 2000) |
