What is focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver?
Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a noncancerous liver growth that is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. It is made up of abnormal blood vessels and liver cells that form a characteristic central scar. FNH is typically benign and does not usually require treatment unless it causes symptoms or uncertainty about the diagnosis.
What is a Nodular goiter?
An enlargement of the thyroid (goiter) caused when groups of cells collect to form nodules.
What is nodular mucosa of the duodenal bulb?
There are several diseases and disorders that present as nodular mucosa of the duodenal bulb. Some examples are, heterotopic gastric mucosa, benign lymphoid hyperplasia, Brunner gland hyperplasia, Cronkhite-Canada syndrome and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.small nodularity in the bulb of duodenum
What is the pathophysiology of goiter?
PathophysiologyThe histopathology varies with etiology and age of the goiter. Initially, uniform follicular epithelial hyperplasia (diffuse goiter) is present with an increase in thyroid mass. As the disorder persists, the thyroid architecture loses uniformity, with the development of areas of involution and fibrosis interspersed with areas of focal hyperplasia. This process results in multiple nodules (multinodular goiter). On nuclear scintigraphy, some nodules are hot, with high isotope uptake (autonomous) or cold, with low isotope uptake, compared with the normal thyroid tissue. The development of nodules correlates with the development of functional autonomy and reduction in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. Clinically, the natural history of a nontoxic goiter is growth, nodule production, and functional autonomy resulting in thyrotoxicosis in a minority of patients.Signs / symptomsdyspneastridorHemorrhagebronchitisdysphagia.hoarseness.facial plethoraand dilated neck veins
What is multi nodular goiter -bilaterally?
A goiter is a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck. Nodules are small bumps inside the gland which may be malignant or benign. A person may have one nodule on one or both sides of their thyroid gland, or they may have multiple nodules on one or both sides of their thyroid gland. Bilaterally means - both sides.
What is nodular?

What is pseudo epitheliomatous hyperplasia?
oral lesion that may show pseudo epitheliomatous hyperplasia
What is a nodular liver and cirrhosis of liver?
When there is damage to the liver, it attempts to repair itself. The remaining cells (mainly hepatocytes, but also oval cells) - undergo mitotic division in order to replace damaged or dead cells. This process is known as hyperplasia. When hyperplasia occurs in the liver, it results in nodular formations of new cells. A cirrhotic liver is an end-stage liver. It cannot be repaired, and if the person is to live they will need a transplant. A cirrhotic liver will be diffusely (all-over) covered with nodules, where the liver has attempted to regenerate. It will also have scar-tissue and fibrosis as a result of the damage to the liver.
What does nodular means?
Nodular means like a nodule. A nodule is a mis-shapen lump.
Can nodular melanoma spread to the breasts?
