|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 남성생식기의 외분비샘의 일종으로, 방광의 목부분과 요도를 둘러싸고 있다. 전립샘은 정액을 만드는 전립샘액을 분비하며 5개의 엽으로 구성되어 있다. |

| 영문 | salivary gland | 한글 | 침샘, 타액선 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 입 속으로 침을 분비하는 외분비샘으로 인체에는 세 쌍의 침샘이 있는데 귀밑샘, 턱밑샘 및 혀밑샘이 그들이다. 침샘은 분류상으로 소화기계통의 한 장기이며, 소화관의 한 부속샘으로 구분된다. 혀밑샘은 그 외 구강 점막 내에 산재하고 있는 수많은 작은 침샘과 같이 묽은 용액을 끊임없이 분비하고 있지만, 귀밑샘과 턱밑샘은 자극을 받을 때만 침을 분비한다. |

| denture hyperplasia | Overgrowth of tissue in the mucobuccal or labial fold, induced by chronic trauma from ill-fitting dentures. Synonym: denture hyperplasia, epulis fissuratum. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| ductal hyperplasia | Hyperplasia characterised by intraductal proliferation of epithelial cells, e.g., in the breast. (05 Mar 2000) |
| idiopathic fibrous hyperplasia | A condition of cystic bone growth that results from abnormal bone development. May occur with bone lesions, skin pigmentation and endocrine abnormalities. See: McCune-Albright syndrome. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (27 Sep 1997) |
| inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia | Overgrowth of tissue in the mucobuccal or labial fold, induced by chronic trauma from ill-fitting dentures. Synonym: denture hyperplasia, epulis fissuratum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inflammatory papillary hyperplasia | Closely arranged papules of the palatal mucosa underlying an ill-fitting denture. Synonym: palatal papillomatosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia | A benign florid papillary endothelial proliferation within the veins of the skin or subcutis, less often in visceral blood vessels. Synonym: Masson's pseudoangiosarcoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thymus hyperplasia | Enlargement of the thymus. A condition described in the late 1940's and 1950's as pathological thymic hypertrophy was status thymolymphaticus and was treated with radiotherapy. Unnecessary removal of the thymus was also practiced. It later became apparent that the thymus undergoes normal physiological hypertrophy, reaching a maximum at puberty and involuting thereafter. The concept of status thymolymphaticus has been abandoned. Thymus hyperplasia is present in two thirds of all patients with myasthenia gravis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endometrial hyperplasia | <gynaecology, pathology> Thickening of the endometrial lining due to an overgrowth of mucosal cells. Symptoms often include irregular vaginal bleeding, heavy or prolonged menstrual cycles and post-menopausal bleeding in older women. Origin: Gr. Plassein = to form (07 Apr 1998) |
| transmissible murine colonic hyperplasia | A disease of young mice caused by the bacterium Citrobacter freundii and characterised by diarrhoea and mucosal hyperplasia of the descending colon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibromuscular hyperplasia | Thickening of arterial media by fibrosis and muscular hyperplasia, usually involving the renal arteries and causing multifocal stenosis and hypertension; a variety of fibromuscular dysplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| focal epithelial hyperplasia | Hyperplasia of the mucous membrane of the lips, tongue, and less commonly, the buccal mucosa, floor of the mouth, and palate, presenting soft, painless, round to oval sessile papules about 1 to 4 mm in diameter. The condition usually occurs in children and young adults and has familial predilection, lasting for several months, sometimes years, before running its course. A viral aetiology is suspected, the isolated organism being usually the human papilloma virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| focal nodular hyperplasia | <radiology> Focal nodules of normal hepatocytes, Kuppfer cells and bile ducts, F more than M, rare, benign, multiple in 20%, haemorrhage (most common complication) in only 2-3% (unlike hepatic adenoma), stellate fibrous septae (stellate scar), NM: normal or increased uptake on HIDA and sulfur colloid (12 Dec 1998) |
| accessory adrenal | An island of cortical tissue separate from the adrenal gland, usually found in the retroperitoneal tissues, kidney, or genital organs. Synonym: adrenal rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute adrenal crisis | <endocrinology> An abrupt life-threatening state which is caused by insufficient production of cortisol by the adrenal gland. A typical finding in Addison's disease. Individuals who have been taking corticosteroids (glucocorticoids) for a prolonged period of time (weeks to months) are at risk for acute adrenal crisis if the medication is stopped abruptly. For this reason, corticosteroid medication are withdrawn slowly on a diminishing dosing schedule. Symptoms include low blood pressure (shock), weakness, headache, vomiting, fever chills, tachycardia and sweating. Treatment includes blood pressure support and intravenous hydrocortisone. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adenoma, adrenal cortical | A benign neoplasm of adrenal cortical cells resembling normal adrenal cells histologically but possessing functional autonomy. In general it does not exceed 5 cm in its largest dimension, although benign tumours exceeding 20 cm have been reported. Adrenal cortical adenomas produce hypercortisolism and hyperaldosteronism, but seldom produce adrenogenital syndromes. For the most part the prognosis after surgery is reasonably favourable.
