| facial eminence | Prominent portion of the medial eminence, just rostral to the medullary striae in the rhomboidal fossa; it is formed by the internal genu of the facial nerve and the abducens nucleus around which the facial fibres curve. Synonym: colliculus facialis, abducens eminence, eminentia abducentis, eminentia facialis, facial eminence, facial hillock. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ulnar eminence | An eminence smaller than the radial, on the ulnar side of the palmar aspect of the wrist, due to presence of the pisiform bone. Synonym: eminentia carpi ulnaris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| forebrain eminence | The unpaired embryonic prominence between the medial nasal elevations, which eventually merges with them to contribute to the bridge of the nose and the underlying nasal septum. Synonym: forebrain eminence, forebrain prominence, frontonasal primordium, frontonasal process. (05 Mar 2000) |
| frontal eminence | The most prominent portion of the frontal bone on either side. Synonym: tuber frontale, eminentia frontalis, frontal tuber. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute yellow atrophy of the liver | A lesion in which there is extensive and rapid death of parenchymal cells of the liver, sometimes with fatty degeneration of the size of the organ; the necrosis may result from fulminant viral infection or chemical poisoning; associated with jaundice. Synonym: acute parenchymatous hepatitis, Rokitansky's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoma, liver cell | A benign epithelial tumour of the liver. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alcoholic liver disease | <gastroenterology> Alcoholic cirrhosis is a condition of irreversible liver disease due to the chronic inflammatory and toxic effects of ethanol on the liver. In cirrhosis, the liver cells are replaced by fibrous scar tissue. Fibrosis leads to the development of portal hypertension. The development of cirrhosis is directly related to the duration and quantity of alcohol consumption. The manifestations of cirrhosis are related to the liver's inability to not adequately remove waste products from the bloodstream and the effects of portal hypertension. (15 Nov 1997) |
| anterior part of diaphragmatic surface of liver | The part of the diaphragmatic surface of the liver deep to the costal arches and the xiphoid process. Synonym: pars anterior faciei diaphragmatis hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bare area of liver | The area on the posterior surface of the liver which is fused with the diaphragm and therefore not covered by peritoneum. Synonym: area nuda hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cardiac liver | An extensive fibrotic reaction within the liver as a result of chronic constrictive pericarditis or prolonged congestive heart failure; true cirrhosis with fibrous bridging of lobules is unusual. Synonym: cardiac liver, congestive cirrhosis, pseudocirrhosis, stasis cirrhosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
