Increase in volume of a tissue or organ caused by the growth of new cells.
A noncancerous increase in the number of cells in a specific structure of the body, such as the prostate gland.
An increase in number of cells (rather than cell size); often associated with an increase in organ size.
Tissue enlargement through multiplication of cells, often a response to inflammation or drugs.
An increase in cell formation.
growth by virtue of an increase in the total number of cells resulting from mitosis.
(hye-per-PLAY-zha): A precancerous condition in which there is an increase in the number of normal cells lining the uterus.
An increase in the number of muscle fibres.
An increase in the number of cells in a tissue; usually in reference to fat or muscle cells.
The overgrowth of the uterine lining.
Increased cell numbers cause a tissue to get bigger. Examples include increased bone marrow to replace abnormally destruction of RBC and an enlarged thyroid gland due to overstimulation.
An abnormal overgrowth of tissues or organs of the body.
An abnormal or unusual increase in the elements composing cells or tissue in the body. Often a pre-malignant condition.
Abnormal increase in tissue elements.
An overgrowth of the uterine lining stimulated by a hormonal imbalance. Some types of hyperplasia are precancerous.
Abnormal increases in the number of cells in skin tissue.
extra growth of nonnal tissue
An increase in cell numbers leading to enlargement of a tissue or organ.
an accumulation of cells which is not NEOPLASTIC. Sometimes the result of the body's normal reaction to an imbalance or other stimulus. Sometimes the cause is not apparent. Example: the enlargement of lymph nodes in the neck as a result of reaction to a bacterial throat infection. The lymphocytes which make up the node divide and proliferate, taking up more volume in the node and causing it to expand. In this case being synonymous with INFLAMMATION.
Overgrowth of the gingival tissues. This can continue until a large portion of the teeth is covered by gingival tissue.
The increased production or growth of normal cells in an organ or tissue
An overgrowth of the uterine lining, probably caused by excess estrogen. This is sometimes considered to be a precancerous condition, particularly in women who are near or through menopause.
An increase in the number of cells in an organ which leads to increased thickness or size of the organ.
Overgrowth characterize by an increase in the number of cells of a tissue.
An increase in the size of an organ or a tissue as a result of increased numbers of cells.
The increased cell production in a normal tissue or an organ (ie, an excess of normal tissue).
The abnormal increase in the number of cells without their enlargement.
Overdevelopment of the mandible, mandibular condyle, or cranial bones, that is congenital or acquired. A non-neoplastic increase in the number of normal cells. It can occur locally as in the condyle or coronoid or in the entire mandible or side of the face.
precancerous condition in which there is an increase in the number of normal cells lining an organ.
An abnormal increase in the number of normal-appearing cells. [See: Proctor & Gamble's Fluoride/Cancer study
Excessive growth of normal cells of an organ.
Excessive growth of normal cells of tissue (e.g., the prostate, causing an enlargement). Return to previous page
Enlargement of an organ or tissue because of an increase in the number of cells in that organ or tissue. See benign prostatic hyperplasia.
increase in number of cells in tissue or organ
A nontumorous increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue with consequent enlargement of the affected part; sometimes a precursor to tumor formation.
Abnormal overgrowth of the endometrium or other tissue.
An abnormal enlargement of an organ or tissue of the body.
Excessive growth of tissue. Impotence: See Sexual impotence.
Too much growth of cells or tissue in a specific area.
An abnormal increase in the number of cells in an otherwise normal tissue.
An increase in the size of a tissue or organ due to an increase in the number of constituent cells.
(hi-per- play-ze-a) - A thickening of uterine tissue
an abnormal, excessive growth of cells that is benign
A proliferation of cells which leads to the enlargement of a bodily organ or part.
Excessive proliferation of normal cells in the normal tissue arrangement of an organ, with consequent enlargement of the affected part. Adjective: hyperplastic.
an abnormal increase in the number of normal cells in a tissue
increased number of cells due to stimulation
A precancerous condition in which there is an increase in the number of normal cells lining the uterus. Back to
Excessive growth of cells. Making a Diagnosis
(adj. hyperplastic): Process of enlargement by excessive cell division (2)
A proliferation of cells which is reactive and not neoplastic. In some cases, this may be a result of the body's normal reaction to an imbalance or other stimulus, while in other cases the physiologic cause of the proliferation is not apparent. An example of the former process is the enlargement of lymph nodes in the neck as a result of reaction to a bacterial throat infection.
Excessive growth of cells. Several types of benign breast conditions involve hyperplasia.
An abnormal enlargement of an organ due to an increase in the number of cells.
Abnormal increase in the elements composing a part (as tissue cells).
Excessive proliferation of smooth muscle cells within the coronary artery.
An abnormal increase in the number of cells in an organ or tissue.
Abnormal increase in the parts of tissue or cells.
an abnormal overgrowth of cells, sometimes indicating a pre-cancerous condition.
The abnormal multiplication or increase in the number of normal calls in normal arrangement in a tissue.
Hyperplasia is the enlargement of a tissue by an increase in cell numbers.
The increase in number of cells per unit volume.
Excessive growth of tissue-for example, of gum tissue.
Enlargement of an organ due to increase in rapid cell division.
abnormal increase in the number of cells in tissue. It is a benign condition.
Over-production of cells.
A thickening of the endometrium. It can lead to abnormal, pre-cancerous cells.
The enlargement of an organ or tissue owing to an increase in the number of cells. ( 16)
Hyperplasia (or "hypergenesis") is a general term for an increase in the number of the cells of an organ or tissue causing it to increase in size. It may be due to any number of causes including (but not limited to) increased demand, chronic inflammatory response, hormonal dysfunctions, or neoplasia.
