hypertrophy
3 June 2003Definition: Hypertrophy refers to an increase in the size of cells, resulting in an increase in the size of the organ.
Pathogenesis
The hypertrophied organ has no new cells, just larger cells. The increased size of the cells is due not to cellular swelling but to the synthesis of more structural components.
Cells capable of division may respond to stress by undergoing both hyperplasia and hypertrophy, whereas in nondividing cells (e.g., myocardial fibers), hypertrophy occurs.

Congestion
19 December 2005Definition: Congestion is a passive process resulting from impaired outflow from a tissue. It may occur systemically, as in cardiac failure, or it may be local, resulting from an isolated venous obstruction. The tissue has a blue-red color (cyanosis), particularly as worsening congestion leads to accumulation of deoxygenated hemoglobin in the affected tissues.

cerebral congestion

paratubal cysts
17 June 2005paraovarian cysts WKP PO
Definition: Epithelium lined fluid filled cyst adjacent to fallopian tube. PTCs originate from the mesothelium and are presumed to be remnants of the Müllerian duct and Wolffian duct.
Paratubal cysts represent remnants of the paramesonephric or mesonephric duct, the former being more common. Most of them are asymptomatic, but they may rarely give rise to clinical problems due to enlargement or torsion.
