| fasciitis | Inflammation of the fascia (a lining tissue under the skin that covers a surface of underlying tissues). (12 Dec 1998) |

| fasciitis, eosinophilic | A disease which leads to inflammation and thickening of the skin and fascia. (The fascia is a lining tissue under the skin that covers a surface of underlying tissues. When the fascia is inflamed, the condition is referred to as fasciitis. ) In eosinophilic fasciitis, the involved fascia is inflamed with the eosinophil white blood cells. There is progressive thickening, and often redness and warmth, and hardness of the skin surface. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fasciitis, necrotizing | A fulminating group a streptococcal infection beginning with severe or extensive cellulitis that spreads to involve the superficial and deep fascia, producing thrombosis of the subcutaneous vessels and gangrene of the underlying tissues. A cutaneous lesion usually serves as a portal of entry for the infection, but sometimes no such lesion is found. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fasciitis, plantar | Inflammation of the plantar fascia (fasciitis), the bowstring-like tissue stretching underneath the sole which attaches at the heel. (12 Dec 1998) |
| parosteal fasciitis | A rare form of nodular fasciitis arising from the periosteum, and which may be associated with reactive cortical bone formation. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| group A streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis | A complication of infection with GAS (group A streptococci) in which the bacteria attacks and destroys muscle tissue. According to the CDC, 5-10% of people with severe GAS infection develop necrotizing fasciitis. Though the infection can be treated with antibiotics, the fatality rate is close to 30%. This complication often develops as a wound infection after surgery or injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plantar fasciitis | Inflammation of the plantar fascia (fasciitis), the bowstring-like tissue stretching underneath the sole which attaches at the heel. (12 Dec 1998) |
| proliferative fasciitis | A benign rapidly-growing subcutaneous nodule characterised by proliferation of fibroblasts and basophilic giant cells slightly resembling ganglion cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pseudosarcomatous fasciitis | A rapidly-growing tumour-like proliferation of fibroblasts, not thought to be neoplastic, with mild inflammatory exudation occurring in fascia; the fibrosis may infiltrate surrounding tissue but does not progress indefinitely or metastasize. Synonym: pseudosarcomatous fasciitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| necrotizing fasciitis | A rare soft-tissue infection primarily involving the superficial fascia and resulting in extensive undermining of surrounding tissues; progress is often fulminant and may involve all soft-tissue components, including the skin; usually occurs postoperatively, after minor trauma, or after inadequate care of abscesses or cutaneous ulcers. See: group A streptococcal necrotizing fasciitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular fasciitis | A rapidly-growing tumour-like proliferation of fibroblasts, not thought to be neoplastic, with mild inflammatory exudation occurring in fascia; the fibrosis may infiltrate surrounding tissue but does not progress indefinitely or metastasize. Synonym: pseudosarcomatous fasciitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eosinophilic fasciitis | <pathology> A syndrome which is characterised by inflammation of the fascia and muscles of the extremities. Infiltrations of eosinophils are found in affected muscle tissue and fascia. The cause is unknown. Symptoms include tenderness and swelling of arms and legs, joint contractures, bone apins, muscle aches and muscle weakness. Some may complain of carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms with numbness and tingling in the hands. Diagnosis is made by tissue biopsy. Treatment includes systemic corticosteroids. The illness can last for 3 to 5 years and then ususally resolves. (27 Sep 1997) |
