| chronic fibrosing alveolitis | <radiology> Aka: usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), 5-6th decade; M:F = 1:1, clubbing of fingers (83%), lymphocytosis on lavage, increased occurence of bronchogenic CA, average survival of 4-6 years; 87% mortality CXR findings: occasional ground glass pattern in early stage of alveolitis, diffuse reticulations (60%) predominantly at bases, honeycombing, pleural effusion (4%); pleural thickening (6%), pneumothorax in 7% (late stage), progressive volume loss see: interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (12 Dec 1998) |

| fibrosing alveolitis | A progressive inflammatory condition starting with diffuse alveolar damage and resulting in fibrosis and honeycombing over a variable time period; also a common feature of collagen-vascular diseases. Synonym: fibrosing alveolitis, Hamman-Rich syndrome, idiopathic interstitial fibrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrosing adenomatosis | A nodular, benign breast lesion occurring most frequently in relatively young women and consisting of hyperplastic distorted lobules of acinar tissue with increased collagenous stroma; the changes may be difficult to distinguish microscopically from carcinoma. Also, a benign nodular microscopic lesion of the prostate consisting of acimar tissue with increased stroma; the basal cell layer shows characteristic smooth muscle metaplasia. Synonym: adenofibrosis, fibrosing adenomatosis, fibrosing adenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrosing adenosis | A nodular, benign breast lesion occurring most frequently in relatively young women and consisting of hyperplastic distorted lobules of acinar tissue with increased collagenous stroma; the changes may be difficult to distinguish microscopically from carcinoma. Also, a benign nodular microscopic lesion of the prostate consisting of acimar tissue with increased stroma; the basal cell layer shows characteristic smooth muscle metaplasia. Synonym: adenofibrosis, fibrosing adenomatosis, fibrosing adenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrosing mediastinitis | <radiology> Histoplasmosis most common cause, can cause superior vena cava obstruction (12 Dec 1998) |
| cryptogenic | Of obscure, indeterminate aetiology or origin, in contrast to phanerogenic. Origin: crypto-+ G. Genesis, origin (05 Mar 2000) |
| cryptogenic cirrhosis | Cirrhosis of unknown aetiology, with no history of alcoholism or previous acute hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cryptogenic epilepsy | tonic-clonic seizure |
| cryptogenic infection | Bacterial, viral, or other infection, the source of which is unknown. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cryptogenic pyaemia | Pyaemia whose source is not evident. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cryptogenic septicaemia | A form of septicaemia in which no primary focus of infection can be found. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute extrinsic allergic alveolitis | <radiology> No chest X-ray findings in 30-95%, diffuse acinar consolidative pattern (oedema and exudative filling of alveoli), basilar distribution, lymph node enlargement (unusual, more common with recurrence) see: extrinsic allergic alveolitis (12 Dec 1998) |
| acute pulmonary alveolitis | Acute inflammation involving exudate into the pulmonary alveoli and impaired gas exchange; may result in necrosis with haemorrhage into the lungs; occurs in Goodpasture's syndrome, in association with a glomerulonephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| allergic alveolitis | <chest medicine> Inflammation of the lungs which occurs secondary to exposure to a chemical, organic dust, fungus or mould. Chronic exposure can lead to chronic lung changes evident on chest X-ray. Symptoms include cough, fever, shortness of breath and wheezing. See: bird-handler's disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| alveolitis | <pathology> Inflammation of an alveolus. Synonym: odontobothritis. (18 Nov 1997) |
