| odontogenic tumours | Neoplasms produced from tooth-forming tissues. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| ameloblastic fibroma | <tumour> A benign mixed odontogenic tumour characterised by neoplastic proliferation of both epithelial and mesenchymal components of the tooth bud without the production of dental hard tissue; presents clinically as a slow-growing painless radiolucency occurring most commonly in the mandible of children and adolescents. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aponeurotic fibroma | <tumour> A calcifying recurrent non-metastasizing but infiltrating fibroma seen most frequently on the palms of young people as a small firm nodule not attached to the overlying skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabbit fibroma | A connective tissue tumour of cottontail rabbits caused by a poxvirus of the genus Leporipoxvirus and found by Shope to be transmissible with cellular suspensions or Berkefeld filtrates; it is related to myxomatosis and is used in Europe as a source of vaccine to protect against the myxoma virus. Synonym: rabbit fibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rabbit fibroma virus | 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) |
| giant cell fibroma | <tumour> A tumour of the oral mucosa composed of fibrous connective tissue with large stellate and multinucleate fibroblasts; shares a similar histology with the retrocuspid papilla, fibrous papule of the nose, pearly penile papule, and the ungual fibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central cementifying fibroma | <tumour> A microscopic variant of a central ossifying fibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central ossifying fibroma | <tumour> A painless, slow-growing, expansile, sharply circumscribed benign fibro-osseus tumour of the jaws that is derived from cells of the periodontal ligament; presents initially as a radiolucency that becomes progressively more opaque as it matures. See: central cementifying fibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periungual fibroma | Multiple smooth firm nodules formed at the nail folds, often over 10 mm in length, which appear at or after puberty in some patients with tuberous sclerosis. Synonym: Koenen's tumour. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondromyxoid fibroma | <radiology> Benign metaphyseal lesion, young adults (60% less than 30 years of age), lytic lesion with well-defined margin, diaphysis of long bone, proximal TIBIA (especially tubercle) most common, NO calcification Differential diagnosis: bubbly bone lesions (12 Dec 1998) |
| concentric fibroma | <tumour> A benign neoplasm, actually a leiomyoma, that occupies the entire circumference of the wall of the uterus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| senile fibroma | A polypoid outgrowth of both epidermis and dermal fibrovascular tissue, common terminology for any small benign cutaneous lesion. Synonym: acrochordon, fibroepithelial polyp, fibroma molle, senile fibroma, soft wart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Shope fibroma | A connective tissue tumour of cottontail rabbits caused by a poxvirus of the genus Leporipoxvirus and found by Shope to be transmissible with cellular suspensions or Berkefeld filtrates; it is related to myxomatosis and is used in Europe as a source of vaccine to protect against the myxoma virus. Synonym: rabbit fibroma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Shope fibroma virus | <virology> Poxvirus associated with the production of benign skin tumours in rabbits. (18 Nov 1997) |
| nonossifying fibroma | <tumour> A loculated osteolytic focus of cellular fibrous tissue, slightly expanding a bone, usually near the end of a long bone in older children; similar to fibrous cortical defect, although larger. (05 Mar 2000) |
