| leishmaniasis, cutaneous | An endemic disease that is characterised by the development of single or multiple localised lesions on exposed areas of skin that typically ulcerate. The disease has been divided into old and new world forms. Old world leishmaniasis is separated into three distinct types according to epidemiology and clinical manifestations and is caused by species of the l. Tropica and l. Aethiopica complexes as well as by species of the l. Major genus. New world leishmaniasis, also called american leishmaniasis, occurs in south and central america and is caused by species of the l. Mexicana or l. Braziliensis complexes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leishmaniasis, diffuse cutaneous | A form of leishmaniasis, cutaneous caused by leishmania aethiopica in ethiopia and kenya, l. Pifanoi in venezuela, l. Braziliensis in south america, and l. Mexicana in central america. This disease is characterised by massive dissemination of skin lesions without visceral involvement. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lesser internal cutaneous nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Arises from the medial cord of the brachial plexus, unites in the axilla with the lateral cutaneous branch of the second intercostal nerve, and supplies the skin of the medial side of the arm. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii medialis, lesser internal cutaneous nerve, medial cutaneous nerve of arm, Wrisberg's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm | <anatomy, nerve> A branch of the radial nerve supplying the skin of the lower lateral aspect of the arm; it frequently is a branch of the posterior antebrachial nerve. Synonym: nervus cutaneus brachii lateralis inferior, lower lateral cutaneous nerve of arm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lupus erythematosus, cutaneous | A form of lupus erythematosus in which the skin may be the only organ involved or in which skin involvement precedes the spread into other body systems. It has been classified into three forms - acute (= lupus erythematosus, systemic with skin lesions), subacute, and chronic (= lupus erythematosus, discoid). (12 Dec 1998) |

Synonym: musculus obliquus externus abdominis, abdominal external oblique muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal internal oblique muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, iliac fascia deep to lateral part of inguinal ligament, anterior half of crest of ilium, and lumbar fascia; insertion, tenth to twelfth ribs and sheath of rectus; some of the fibres from inguinal ligament terminate in the conjoint tendon; action, diminishes capacity of abdomen, flexes lumbar vertebral column (bends thorax forward); nerve supply, lower thoracic. Synonym: musculus obliquus internus abdominis, abdominal internal oblique muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abdominal muscle deficiency syndrome | <syndrome> Congenital absence (partial or complete) of abdominal muscles, in which the outline of the intestines is visible through the protruding abdominal wall; in males, genitourinary anomalies (urinary tract dilation and cryptorchidism) are also found; genetics unclear.
