Forme fruste : ウィキペディア英語版 | Forme fruste
In medicine, a ''forme fruste'' (French, “crude, or unfinished, form”; ''pl.'', ''formes frustes'') is an atypical or attenuated manifestation of a disease or syndrome, with the implications of incompleteness, partial presence or aborted state. The context is usually one of a well defined clinical or pathological entity, which the case at hand almost — but not quite — fits. An opposite term in medicine, ''forme pleine'' — seldom used by English-speaking physicians — means the complete, or full-blown, form of a disease. ==Use== According to gastroenterologist William Haubrich: A patient may exhibit sudden, intense, epigastric pain and a rigid abdomen. He is thought to have a perforated peptic ulcer. But at operation, only a penetrating ulcer is found, sealed off by adhesion to the omentum or anterior abdominal wall. Such a patient is said to have a forme fruste of acute free perforation as a complication of his peptic ulcer disease.〔Haubrich, William S. (1997), ''Medical Meanings: A Glossary of Word Origins'', Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: American College of Physicians, pg 85.〕
