  2. Liquefactive necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefactive_necrosis

    Microscopically, the cystic space contains necrotic cell debris and macrophages filled with phagocytosed material. The cyst wall is formed by proliferating capillaries, inflammatory cells, and gliosis (proliferating glial cells) in the case of brain and proliferating fibroblasts in the case of abscess cavities. Brain cells have a large amount ...

  3. Caseous necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caseous_necrosis

    Caseous necrosis in the kidney. In caseous necrosis no histological architecture is preserved (unlike with coagulative necrosis). [5] [6] On microscopic examination with H&E staining, the area is acellular, characterised by amorphous, roughly granular eosinophilic debris of now dead cells, [6] also containing interspearsed haematoxyphilic remnants of cell nucleus contents. [5]

  4. Diffuse alveolar damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_alveolar_damage

    Meanwhile, in the airspace, macrophages are clearing cellular debris. Fibrotic Phase (after 3 weeks, if occurs): not all courses of DAD result in a fibrotic phase. This phase occurs if the alveolar collagen that is deposited during the acute exudative phase fails to be resorbed, resulting in limitations of alveolar expanse and subsequently gas ...

  5. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_cyst

    A fibrous capsule of varying thickness, with chronic inflammatory cells, wherein a plasma cells may be abundant; They sometimes have the following features: [11] Rushton hyaline bodies, which are amorphic, eosinophilic, linear to crescent-shaped bodies in the cyst epithelium, present in 10% of periapical cysts. Scattered ciliated cells

  6. Warthin's tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warthin's_tumor

    Warthin's tumor, also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, is a benign cystic tumor of the salivary glands containing abundant lymphocytes and germinal centers (lymph node-like stroma). It is named for pathologist Aldred Scott Warthin , who described two cases in 1929.

  7. Cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyst

    Benign cyst kidney; radiological appearances mimic renal cancer, A cyst / s ɪ s t / is a closed sac, having a distinct envelope and division compared with the nearby tissue.Hence, it is a cluster of cells that have grouped together to form a sac (like the manner in which water molecules group together to form a bubble); however, the distinguishing aspect of a cyst is that the cells forming ...

  8. Coagulative necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulative_necrosis

    Coagulative necrosis is a type of accidental cell death typically caused by ischemia or infarction. In coagulative necrosis, the architectures of dead tissue are preserved for at least a couple of days. [1] It is believed that the injury denatures structural proteins as well as lysosomal enzymes, thus blocking the proteolysis of the damaged cells.

  9. Mucociliary clearance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucociliary_clearance

    Mucociliary clearance (MCC), mucociliary transport, or the mucociliary escalator describes the self-clearing mechanism of the airways in the respiratory system. [1] It is one of the two protective processes for the lungs in removing inhaled particles including pathogens before they can reach the delicate tissue of the lungs.
