- Fasciitis
- Fibromatoses
- Musculoskeletal fibromatosis
Clinical Information
- A condition in which multiple fibromas develop. Fibromas are tumors (usually benign) that affect connective tissue.
- A poorly circumscribed neoplasm arising from the soft tissues. It is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped fibroblasts and an infiltrative growth pattern.
- An inflammation of the fibrous tissue called fascia
- Inflammation of fascia.
- Inflammation of the fascia. There are three major types: 1, eosinophilic fasciitis, an inflammatory reaction with eosinophilia, producing hard thickened skin with an orange-peel configuration suggestive of scleroderma and considered by some a variant of scleroderma; 2, necrotizing fasciitis (fasciitis, necrotizing), a serious fulminating infection (usually by a beta hemolytic streptococcus) causing extensive necrosis of superficial fascia; 3, nodular/pseudosarcomatous /proliferative fasciitis, characterized by a rapid growth of fibroblasts with mononuclear inflammatory cells and proliferating capillaries in soft tissue, often the forearm; it is not malignant but is sometimes mistaken for fibrosarcoma.
- Inflammation process in fascia.
ICD-10-CM M72.9 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v40.0):
