anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia an inherited disorder characterized by ectodermal dysplasia associated with aplasia or hypoplasia of the sweat glands, hypothermia, alopecia, anodontia, conical teeth, and facial abnormalities.
anteroposterior facial dysplasia defective development resulting in abnormal anteroposterior relations of the maxilla and mandible to each other or to the cranial base.
arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia a congenital cardiomyopathy in which transmural infiltration of adipose tissue results in weakness and bulging of regions of the right ventricle and leads to ventricular tachycardia arising in the right ventricle.
bronchopulmonary dysplasia a chronic lung disease of infants, possibly related to oxygen toxicity or barotrauma, characterized by bronchiolar metaplasia and interstitial fibrosis.
chondroectodermal dysplasia achondroplasia with defective development of skin, hair, and teeth, polydactyly, and defect of cardiac septum.
cretinoid dysplasia a developmental abnormality characteristic of cretinism, consisting of retarded ossification and smallness of the internal and sexual organs.
developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) instability of the hip joint leading to dislocation in the neonatal period; it may be associated with various neuromuscular disorders or occur in utero but occurs most commonly in neurologically normal infants and is multifactorial in origin. Formerly called congenital dislocation of the hip.
diaphyseal dysplasia thickening of the cortex of the midshaft area of the long bones, progressing toward the epiphyses, and sometimes also in the flat bones.

fibromuscular dysplasia dysplasia with fibrosis of the muscular layer of an artery wall, with collagen deposition and hyperplasia of smooth muscle, causing stenosis and hypertension; seen most often in renal arteries, it is a major cause of renovascular hypertension.
fibrous dysplasia of bone thinning of the cortex of bone and replacement of bone marrow by gritty fibrous tissue containing bony spicules, causing pain, disability, and gradually increasing deformity; only one bone may be involved (monostotic fibrous d.), with the process later affecting several or many bones (polyostotic fibrous d.) .
florid osseous dysplasia an exuberant form of periapical cemental dysplasia resembling diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis but not inflammatory.
hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia an inherited disorder of ectodermal dysplasia with tooth abnormalities, hypotrichosis, cutaneous hyperpigmentation over joints, and hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles.
metaphyseal dysplasia a disturbance in enchondral bone growth, failure of modeling causing the ends of the shafts to remain larger than normal in circumference.

periapical cemental dysplasia a nonneoplastic condition characterized by formation of areas of fibrous connective tissue, bone, and cementum around the apex of a tooth.
septo-optic dysplasia a syndrome of hypoplasia of the optic disk with other ocular abnormalities, absence of the septum pellucidum, and hypopituitarism leading to growth deficiency.
spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia hereditary dysplasia of the vertebrae and extremities resulting in dwarfism of the short-trunk type, often with shortened limbs due to epiphyseal abnormalities.
thanatophoric dysplasia a uniformly fatal type of skeletal dysplasia presenting as extreme shortness of the limbs, thoracic cage deformity, and relative enlargement of the head.
dys·pla·sia (d s-pl  zh )n. Abnormal development or growth of tissues, organs, or cells. dys·plas tic (-pl stk) adj. |
Dysplasia
The abnormal change in size, shape or organization of adult cells.
dysplasia
[displā′zhə]
Etymology: Gk, dys + plassein, to form
any abnormal development of tissues or organs. An alteration in cell growth resulting in cells that differ in size, shape, and appearance, often as a result of chronic irritation. Common sites for dysplasia are the respiratory tract in smokers and the cervix.
dysplasia (dis·plāˑ·zh

dysplasia (displā´zh
),n 1. a developmental abnormality. See also dysplasia, dentinal.
n 2. the reversible, regressive alteration in adult cells, seen as alterations in their size, shape, orientation, and functions; leads to change in tissue architecture and is related to chronic inflammation or protracted irritation.
3. an abnormality of development.
n 4. a disharmony between component parts.

dysplasia, anteroposterior (anteroposterior facial dysplasia),
n an abnormal anteroposterior relationship of the maxillae and mandible to each other or to the cranial base.
dysplasia, cementoosseous,
n a fairly common benign fibroosseous lesion (BFOL) that appears in the jawbone. They appear on radiographic examinations as highly visible areas of mixed radiolucent/radiopaque bone. The three categories of cementoosseous dysplasia are focal, periapical, and florid. Such lesions are easily diagnosed with radiographic examination and do not require a biopsy, which can damage adjacent bone tissue.
dysplasia, cleidocranial
(klī´dōkrā´-nēl),
n (Sainton's disease), a familial disease or congenital disorder characterized by failure to form, or retarded formation of, the clavicles; delayed closure of the sutures and fontanels; and delayed eruption of teeth, with formation of supernumerary teeth. It is characterized by underdevelopment of the maxillae, agenesis or aplasia of the clavicle, abnormalities in other skeletal bones and muscles, and irregularities of the dentition. The syndrome may be mutational or transmitted on an autosomal dominant basis.

dysplasia, craniofacial,
n a disharmony between the cranium and the face.
dysplasia, dentinal,
n a genetic disturbance of the dentin characterized by early calcification of the pulp chambers and root canals and by root resorption. It is differentiated from dentinogenesis imperfecta by the latter's characteristics of attrition and relative freedom from root resorption.
dysplasia, dentofacial,
n a disharmony between teeth and bones of the face (e.g., crowding and spacing).
dysplasia, ectodermal
n a group of diseases characterized by failure to form two or more ectodermal derivatives. Sweat glands and teeth may be missing (anhidrosis and hypodontia, respectively), and there may be scant hair, faulty fingernails, and malformation of the iris.
dysplasia, enamel,
n a development abnormality of enamel tissue.
dysplasia, fibroosseous,
n See dysplasia, fibrous.
dysplasia, fibrous (fibroosseous dysplasia),

It may be monostotic (limited to one bone) or polyostotic (present in many bones). McCune-Albright syndrome shows polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and other symptoms. See also syndrome, McCune-Albright.

n See fibroma, periapical.
dysplasia, maxillomandibular
n a disharmony between one jaw and the other.
(os´ēs),
n a chronic reaction of the bone to injury characterized by replacement of the bone marrow with fibrous connective tissue, unilateral enlargement of the maxillae or mandible, and characteristic radiographic findings. It is similar or identical to monostotic fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma.

a familial disorder of hair follicles in dogs, occurring only in areas with black pigmentation. Affected dogs have a normal haircoat except in black areas where hair growth is thin and the skin scaly.

occipital dysplasia
congenital enlargement of the foramen magnum, sometimes associated with hydrocephalus or cerebellar herniation or spina bifida. Observed most often in toy breeds of dogs.
