| mastoid fontanel | The membranous interval on either side between the mastoid angle of the parietal bone, the petrous portion of the temporal bone, and the occipital bone. Synonym: fonticulus mastoideus, fonticulus posterolateralis, Casser's fontanel, posterolateral fontanel. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| mastoid foramen | An opening at the posterior portion of the mastoid process, transmitting the mastoid branch of the occipital artery to the dura and an emissary vein to the sigmoid sinus. Synonym: foramen mastoideum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid fossa | A small depression on the mastoid part of the temporal bone, posterior to the suprameatal spine. Synonym: foveola suprameatica, mastoid fossa, fossa mastoidea, supramastoid fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid groove | The groove medial to the mastoid process of the temporal bone from which the digastric muscle originates. Synonym: incisura mastoidea, digastric groove, digastric notch, mastoid notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid lymph nodes | Two or three nodes in the region of the mastoid process; they receive afferent lymphatic vessels from the scalp and auricle and send efferent vessels to the superior deep cervical nodes. Synonym: nodi lymphatici mastoidei, mastoid lymph nodes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid margin of occipital bone | The margin of the occipital squama that articulates with the temporal bone. Synonym: margo mastoideus squamae occipitalis, mastoid margin of occipital bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid notch | The groove medial to the mastoid process of the temporal bone from which the digastric muscle originates. Synonym: incisura mastoidea, digastric groove, digastric notch, mastoid notch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid part of the temporal bone | The portion of the petrous part of the temporal bone bearing the mastoid process. Synonym: pars mastoidea ossis temporalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid process | The nipple-like projection of the petrous part of the temporal bone. Synonym: processus mastoideus, mastoid bone, temporal apophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid sinuses | Numerous small intercommunicating cavities in the mastoid process of the temporal bone that empty into the mastoid or tympanic antrum. Synonym: cellulae mastoideae, mastoid cells, mastoid sinuses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mastoid wall of middle ear | It contains the opening into the mastoid antrum. Synonym: paries mastoideus cavi tympani, mastoid wall of middle ear, posterior wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoid squamous cell carcinoma | <tumour> A malignant neoplasm consisting chiefly of glandular epithelium (adenocarcinoma), usually well differentiated, with foci of metaplasia to squamous (or epidermoid) neoplastic cells. Synonym: adenoid squamous cell carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal squamous cell carcinoma | <tumour> A carcinoma of the skin which in structure and behaviour is considered transitional between basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma The term should not be used for the much more common keratotic variety of basal cell carcinoma, in which the tumour cells are of basal type but which contains small foci of abrupt keratinization. Synonym: basal squamous cell carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinoma, squamous cell | A carcinoma derived from stratified squamous epithelium. It may also occur in sites where glandular or columnar epithelium is normally present. (12 Dec 1998) |
| multiple self-healing squamous epithelioma | <tumour> Multiple skin tumours, most frequently on the head, each resembling a well-differentiated squamous carcinoma or keratoacanthoma; individual tumours resolve spontaneously after several months, leaving deep-pitted scars with irregular crenellated borders, and are usually replaced by additional new tumours; autosomal dominant inheritance.
