| angioma | <dermatology, oncology> A knot of distended blood vessels atypically and irregularly arranged. most are not tumours but haematomas. (06 Mar 1998) |
|---|---|
| angioma lymphaticum | <oncology, tumour> A localised collection of lymphatic vessels resulting in a nodule or mass. most are congenital. (27 Sep 1997) |
| capillary angioma | <dermatology> Red or purple-coloured vascular skin markings that develop shortly after birth. Most are usually painless and benign and sharply demarcated from surrounding skin, usually located on the head and neck, and grow rapidly. It is caused by proliferation of immature capillary vessels in active stroma, and is usually present at birth or occurs within the first two or three months of life. Some lesions (cavernous haemangioma) will disappear or become harder to see as the child approaches school age. Localised steroid injections have been used successfully to reduce the size of a birthmark but generally they undergo spontaneous regression and involution without scarring and normally require no treatment. (07 Mar 2000) |
| venous angioma | <radiology> Caput medusae, wedge-shaped appearance with its base at the meninges and its apex directed toward the ventricles, prominent medullary vein drains into a markedly enlarged transcortical cerebral vein, angiogram: normal arterial phase without AV shunting (12 Dec 1998) |
| cavernous angioma | Vascular malformation composed of sinusoidal vessels without a large feeding artery; can be multiple, especially if inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Synonym: nevus cavernosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cherry angioma | <oncology, tumour> A benign and common skin growth which is characterised by smooth, bright red growth that may be a millimetre to one quater inch across. Diagnosis is made by appearance of the lesion. More commonly seen on the trunk in individuals over 40 years of age. No treatment is necessary, although cosmetic removal via cryotherapy may be an option. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nasopharyngeal | <anatomy> Of the nasopharnynx or the upper part of the throat behind the nose. (16 Dec 1997) |
| nasopharyngeal carcinoma | <oncology, tumour> This carcinoma, although rare in North America, is one of the commonest malignancies in men from Taiwan and southern China. Hearing loss from middle ear effusion (collection of fluid in the middle ear space), a lump in the neck and a raised lesion on the palate are among the most common findings. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nasopharyngeal culture | <microbiology> A sample of nasopharyngeal secretions are obtained via a swab stick (Q-tip-like) and sent to the lab for bacterial or viral culture. This test is used to identify an organism or virus which is responsible for respiratory disease and can also guide the selection of an effective antibiotic agent. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nasopharyngeal diseases | General or unspecified diseases of the nasopharynx. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nasopharyngeal groove | An indistinct line marking the boundary between the nasal cavities and the nasal part of the pharynx. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasopharyngeal leishmaniasis | A grave disease caused by Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis, endemic in southern Mexico and Central and South America, except for the equatorial region of Chile; the organism does not invade the viscera, and the disease is limited to the skin and mucous membranes, the lesions resembling the sores of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by L. Mexicana or L. Tropica; the chancrous sores heal after a time, but some months or years later, fungating and eroding forms of ulceration may appear on the tongue and buccal or nasal mucosa; many variants of the disease exist, marked by differences in distribution, vector, epidemiology, and pathology, which suggest that it may in fact be caused by a number of closely related aetiological agents. See: espundia. Synonym: American leishmaniasis, leishmaniasis americana, nasopharyngeal leishmaniasis, New World leishmaniasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasopharyngeal passage | The posterior part of the nasal cavity from the posterior limits of the conchae to the choanae. Synonym: meatus nasopharyngeus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasopharyngeal viral culture | <microbiology> A collection of nasopharyngeal secretions for the purpose of incubating a virus for identification. (27 Sep 1997) |
| superficial angioma | <dermatology> Red or purple-coloured vascular skin markings that develop shortly after birth. Most are usually painless and benign and sharply demarcated from surrounding skin, usually located on the head and neck, and grow rapidly. It is caused by proliferation of immature capillary vessels in active stroma, and is usually present at birth or occurs within the first two or three months of life. Some lesions (cavernous haemangioma) will disappear or become harder to see as the child approaches school age. Localised steroid injections have been used successfully to reduce the size of a birthmark but generally they undergo spontaneous regression and involution without scarring and normally require no treatment.
