| systematised nevus | A developmental dysplasia of the skin; extensive, patterned, and usually unilateral. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| systemic vascular resistance | An index of arteriolar compliance or constriction throughout the body; equal to the blood pressure divided by the cardiac output. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dysplastic nevus | <syndrome> Clinically atypical nevi (usually exceeding 5 mm in diameter and having variable pigmentation and ill defined borders) with an increased risk for development of non-familial cutaneous malignant melanoma. Biopsies show melanocytic dysplasia. Nevi are clinically and histologically identical to the precursor lesions for melanoma in the b-k mole syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |

| intradermal nevus | A nevus in which nests of melanocytes are found in the dermis, but not at the epidermal-dermal junction; benign pigmented nevi in adults are most commonly intradermal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| iris-nevus syndrome | <syndrome> Syndrome of glaucoma, iris atrophy, decreased corneal endothelium, anterior peripheral synechia, and multiple iris nodules. Synonym: Cogan-Reese syndrome, iris-nevus syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ito's nevus | Pigmentation of skin innervated by lateral branches of the supraclavicular nerve and the lateral cutaneous nerve of the arm, due to scattered, heavily pigmented, dendritic melanocytes in the dermis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oral epithelial nevus | An autosomal dominant condition of the oral cavity characterised by soft, white or opalescent, thickened and corrugated folds of mucous membrane; other mucosal sites are occasionally involved simultaneously. Synonym: familial white folded dysplasia, oral epithelial nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| organoid nevus | Congenital papillary acanthosis of the epidermis, with hyperplasia of sebaceous glands developing at puberty and presence of apocrine glands in non-apocrine areas of the skin (commonly the scalp). A variety of epithelial tumours may arise from a nevus sebaceus in adult life, most commonly basal cell carcinoma. Synonym: Jadassohn's nevus, organoid nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ota's nevus | Pigmentation of the conjunctiva and skin around the eye, usually unilateral; seen especially in women of Oriental races. Synonym: Ota's nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalotrigeminal vascular syndrome | <syndrome> Angiomatosis of the brain accompanied by nevi in the trigeminal area. See: Sturge-Weber syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelium, vascular | Single pavement layer of cells which line the luminal surface of the entire vascular system and regulate the transport of macromolecules and blood components from interstitium to lumen; this function has been most intensively studied in the blood capillaries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epidermic-dermic nevus | A nevus consisting of nests of melanocytes in the basal cell zone, at the junction of the epidermis and dermis, appearing as a slightly raised, small, flat, nonhairy pigmented (brown or black) tumour. Synonym: epidermic-dermic nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epithelioid cell nevus | A benign, slightly pigmented or red superficial small skin tumour composed of spindle-shaped, epithelioid, and multinucleated cells that may appear atypical; most common in children, but also appearing in adults. Synonym: benign juvenile melanoma, epithelioid cell nevus, spindle cell nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Jadassohn's nevus | Congenital papillary acanthosis of the epidermis, with hyperplasia of sebaceous glands developing at puberty and presence of apocrine glands in non-apocrine areas of the skin (commonly the scalp). A variety of epithelial tumours may arise from a nevus sebaceus in adult life, most commonly basal cell carcinoma. Synonym: Jadassohn's nevus, organoid nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
