| lymphocytic leukaemia | <haematology, oncology> An acute form of childhood leukaemia characterised by the development of abnormal cellsdevelop in the bone marrow and lymphoblasts are found in blood-formingtissues. A type of chronic leukaemia found most often in the elderly, it is characterised by the presence of mature lymphocytes in the blood. Origin: Gr. Haima = blood (13 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| lymphocytic leukemoid reaction | Leukocytosis of varying degree, with adult lymphocytes and immature forms amounting to 40% (or more) of the total number of white blood cells in the circulating blood; may be observed in association with pertussis, infectious mononucleosis, gonorrhoea, chickenpox, and sarcoidosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphocytic leukocytosis | A condition in which the blood contains an unusually high number of normal lymphocytes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| lymphocytic leukopenia | Reduction in the number of lymphocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphocytic lymphoma | <oncology, tumour> A cancer of lymphatic tissues, the tumour cells are mostly abnormal lymphocytes. (13 Nov 1997) |
| lymphocytic thyroiditis | <endocrinology> Inflammation of the thyroid gland without the formation of pus. Noninfectious nonbacterial thyroid inflammation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| lymphoma, small lymphocytic | A low-grade malignant lymphoma that may, in some cases, be considered histologically identical to chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (cll; leukaemia, lymphocytic, chronic). It is diffuse in pattern, representing the neoplastic proliferation of well-differentiated B-lymphocytes. In patients with immunoglobulin gammopathies, the lymphocytes may exhibit plasmacytoid characteristics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abdominal angina | <surgery> A dull, crampy centralised abdominal pain that occurs 15-30 minutes after a meal. Associated with ischaemic bowel disease. Evaluated with mesenteric arteriography. (27 Sep 1997) |

| angina inversa | A form of angina pectoris, characterised by pain that is not precipitated by cardiac work, is of longer duration, is usually more severe, and is associated with unusual electrocardiographic manifestations including elevated ST segments in leads that are ordinarily depressed in typical angina, and usually without reciprocal ST changes; occurring at night in bed. Synonym: angina inversa, variant angina pectoris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| angina lymphomatosa | <haematology> A symptom complex characterised by marked decrease in the number of granulocytes and by lesions of the throat and other mucous membranes, of the gastrointestinal tract and of the skin, also called granulocytopenia and Schultz's disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
