| adipose infiltration | Growth of normal adult fat cells in sites where they are not usually present. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcareous infiltration | <biochemistry> The process by which organic tissue becomes hardened by a deposit of calcium salts within its substance. Origin: L. Facere = to make. (21 Mar 1998) |
| gelatinous infiltration | A term sometimes used for the relatively rapidly formed, semisolid, gray or gray-white exudate (chiefly necrotic cells and remnants of tissue, and macrophages) resulting from unusually acute, overwhelming, diffuse tuberculous infection in the lung. Synonym: gelatinous infiltration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paraneural infiltration | Infiltration adjacent to or along a nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cellular infiltration | Migration of cells from their sources of origin, or direct extension of cells as a result of unusual growth and multiplication, thereby resulting in fairly well-defined foci, irregular accumulations, or diffusely distributed individual cells in the connective tissue and interstices of various organs and tissues; used especially with reference to such changes associated with inflammations and certain types of malignant neoplasms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perineural infiltration | Infiltration about a nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gray infiltration | A term sometimes used for the relatively rapidly formed, semisolid, gray or gray-white exudate (chiefly necrotic cells and remnants of tissue, and macrophages) resulting from unusually acute, overwhelming, diffuse tuberculous infection in the lung. Synonym: gelatinous infiltration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infiltration | <pathology> The diffusion or accumulation in a tissue or cells of substances not normal to it or in amounts of the normal. Also, the material so accumulated. (13 Nov 1997) |
| infiltration anaesthesia | Anaesthesia produced by injection of local anaesthetic solution directly into an area that is painful or about to be operated upon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epituberculous infiltration | An infiltration superimposed upon a tuberculous lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fatty infiltration | Abnormal accumulation of fat droplets in the cytoplasm of cells, particularly of fat derived from outside the cells. See: fatty degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leukaemic infiltration | A pathologic change in leukaemia in which leukaemic cells permeate various organs at any stage of the disease. All types of leukaemia show various degrees of infiltration, depending upon the type of leukaemia. The degree of infiltration may vary from site to site. The liver and spleen are common sites of infiltration, the greatest appearing in myelocytic leukaemia, but infiltration is seen also in the granulocytic and lymphocytic types. The kidney is also a common site and of the gastrointestinal system, the stomach and ileum are commonly involved. In lymphocytic leukaemia the skin is often infiltrated. The central nervous system too is a common site. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lipomatous infiltration | Nonencapsulated adipose tissue forming a lipoma-like mass, usually in the cardiac interatrial septum where it may cause arrhythmia and sudden death. Synonym: lipomatous hypertrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adynamic ileus simulating bowel obstruction | <radiology> Chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstrction, pelvic surgery, urinary retention, pancreatitis, acute intermittent porphyria, ceroidosis, neonatal adynamic ileus (12 Dec 1998) |
