A localized disease is an infectious or neoplastic process that originates in and is confined to one organ system or general area in the body, such as a sprained ankle, a boil on the hand, an abscess of finger. A localized cancer that has not extended beyond the margins of the organ involved can also be described as localized disease, while cancers that extend into other tissues are described as invasive. Tumors that are non-hematologic in origin but extend into the bloodstream or lymphatic system are known as metastatic.

dbo:abstract
  • A localized disease is an infectious or neoplastic process that originates in and is confined to one organ system or general area in the body, such as a sprained ankle, a boil on the hand, an abscess of finger. A localized cancer that has not extended beyond the margins of the organ involved can also be described as localized disease, while cancers that extend into other tissues are described as invasive. Tumors that are non-hematologic in origin but extend into the bloodstream or lymphatic system are known as metastatic. Localized diseases are contrasted with disseminated diseases and systemic diseases. Some diseases are capable of changing from local to disseminated diseases. Pneumonia, for example, is generally confined to one or both lungs but can become disseminated through sepsis, in which the microorganism responsible for the pneumonia "seeds" the bloodstream or lymphatic system and is transported to distant sites in the body. When that occurs, the process is no longer described as a localized disease, but rather as a disseminated disease. (en)
  • Una enfermedad localizada es un proceso infeccioso o neoplásico que se origina y se limita a un sistema o área general del cuerpo,​ como un esguince de tobillo, un forúnculo en la mano, un absceso en el dedo. Un cáncer localizado que no se ha extendido más allá de los márgenes del órgano involucrado también se puede describir como enfermedad localizada, mientras que los cánceres que se extienden a otros tejidos se describen como invasivos. Los tumores que no son de origen hematológico pero que se extienden al torrente sanguíneo o al sistema linfático se conocen como metastásicos. Las enfermedades localizadas se contrastan con las y las enfermedades sistémicas. Algunas enfermedades pueden cambiar de enfermedades locales a enfermedades diseminadas. La neumonía, por ejemplo, generalmente se limita a uno o ambos pulmones, pero puede diseminarse a través de la sepsis, en la cual el microbio responsable de la neumonía "siembra" el torrente sanguíneo o el sistema linfático y se transporta a sitios distantes en el cuerpo. Cuando eso ocurre, el proceso ya no se describe como una enfermedad localizada, sino más bien como una enfermedad diseminada. (es)
