| gingival fibromatosis | Fibromatosis that may be associated with trichodiscomas. Several genetic forms are known, all autosomal dominant . (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| plantar fibromatosis | Nodular fibroblastic proliferation in plantar fascia of one or both feet; rarely associated with contracture. Synonym: Dupuytren's disease of the foot. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital generalised fibromatosis | Multiple subcutaneous and visceral fibrous tumours present at birth; a rare disorder often fatal in the first week of life, although sometimes undergoing spontaneous remission; probable autosomal recessive inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infantile digital fibromatosis | Multiple fibrous flesh-coloured nodules on the extensor aspect of the terminal phalanges of adjacent digits of infants and young children which often recur after attempted excision, do not metastasize, and may spontaneously regress in two to three years; composed of spindle cells containing cytoplasmic inclusions believed to be derived from myofibrils. Synonym: infantile digital fibromatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
