| calcified cartilage | Cartilage in which calcium salts are deposited in the matrix; it occurs prior to replacement by osseous tissue and sometimes in aging cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| calcified liver metastases | <radiology> Mucinous carcinoma of GI tract (colon, rectum, stomach), endocrine pancreatic carcinoma, leiomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, malignant melanoma, papillary serous ovarian cystadenocarcinoma, lymphoma, pleural mesothelioma, neuroblastoma, breast carcinoma, medullary thyroid carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, lung carcinoma, testicular carcinoma see: liver metastases (12 Dec 1998) |
| subepidermal | Situated beneath the epidermis, subepidermal. (18 Nov 1997) |
| subepidermal abscess | A microscopic abscess located in the dermis just beneath the epidermis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular subepidermal fibrosis | A slowly growing benign skin nodule consisting of poorly demarcated cellular fibrous tissue enclosing collapsed capillaries with scattered haemosiderin-pigmented and lipid macrophages. They are common, usually about 1 cm in diameter and occur in the dermis. Simple excision is always curative. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Arantius' nodule | A nodule at the centre of the free border of each semilunar valve at the beginning of the pulmonary artery and aorta. Synonym: nodulus valvulae semilunaris, Arantius' nodule, Bianchi's nodule, corpus arantii, Morgagni's nodule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bianchi's nodule | A nodule at the centre of the free border of each semilunar valve at the beginning of the pulmonary artery and aorta. Synonym: nodulus valvulae semilunaris, Arantius' nodule, Bianchi's nodule, corpus arantii, Morgagni's nodule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recombination nodule | <molecular biology> Protein containing assemblies of about 90 nm diameter placed at intervals in the synaptonemal complexes that develop between homologous chromosomes at the zygotene stage of meiosis. Some nodules may be associated with the site of recombination. (18 Nov 1997) |
| rheumatic nodule | A small round or oval, mostly subcutaneous nodule made up chiefly of a mass of aschoff bodies and seen in cases of rheumatic fever. It is differentiated from the rheumatoid nodule which appears in rheumatoid arthritis, most frequently over bony prominences. (12 Dec 1998) |
| rheumatoid nodule | Subcutaneous nodules seen in 20-30% of rheumatoid arthritis patients. They may arise anywhere on the body, but are most frequently found over the bony prominences. The nodules are characterised histologically by dense areas of fibrinoid necrosis with basophilic streaks and granules, surrounded by a palisade of cells, mainly fibroblasts and histiocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| root nodule | <plant biology> Globular structure formed on the roots of certain plants, notably legumes and alder, by symbiotic association between the plant and a nitrogen fixing microorganism (Rhizobium in the case of legumes and Frankia in the case of alder and a variety of other plants). (18 Nov 1997) |
| milker's nodule virus | A virus in the family Poxviridae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cold nodule | A thyroid nodule with a much lower uptake of radioactive iodine than the surrounding parenchyma; about one in four prove to be malignant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cold thyroid nodule | <radiology> Adenoma (75%), colloid cyst (10%), carcinoma (15%), mnemonic: CATCH PALLM colloid cyst, adenoma, thyroiditis, carcinoma, haematoma, parathyroid adenoma, abscess, lymph node, lymphoma, metastasis thyroid carcinoma, hot thyroid nodule (12 Dec 1998) |
| Morgagni's nodule | A nodule at the centre of the free border of each semilunar valve at the beginning of the pulmonary artery and aorta. Synonym: nodulus valvulae semilunaris, Arantius' nodule, Bianchi's nodule, corpus arantii, Morgagni's nodule. (05 Mar 2000) |
