  2. Myocardial scarring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_scarring

    [1] [2] Fibrosis is the formation of excess tissue in replacement of necrotic or extensively damaged tissue. Fibrosis in the heart is often hard to detect because fibromas, scar tissue or small tumors formed in one cell line, are often formed. [3] Because they are so small, they can be hard to detect by methods such as magnetic resonance ...

  3. Keloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keloid

    Keloids form within scar tissue. Collagen, used in wound repair, tends to overgrow in this area, sometimes producing a lump many times larger than that of the original scar. They can also range in color from pink to red. [6] Although they usually occur at the site of an injury, keloids can also arise spontaneously.

  4. Scar - Wikipedia

    In the process, the first layer is a provisional matrix and is not a scar. Over time, the wounded body tissue overexpresses collagen inside the provisional matrix to create a collagen matrix. This collagen overexpression continues and crosslinks the fiber arrangement inside the collagen matrix, making the collagen dense.

  5. Arthrofibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrofibrosis

    Arthrofibrosis can occur after total knee replacement or partial knee replacement, when excessive scar tissue (collagen fibril) deposition occurs in and around the knee. This can be accompanied by shortening of the patellar tendon (patella baja/infera) which can also contribute to limited flexion.

  6. Stretch marks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretch_marks

    Over time, they tend to atrophy and lose pigmentation. The affected areas appear empty, and are soft to the touch. [5] Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the resilient middle tissue layer that helps the skin retain its shape. No stretch marks will form as long as there is support within the dermis; stretching plays a role in where the marks ...

  7. Fibrothorax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrothorax

    Over time, generally over the years, the fibrotic scar tissue slowly tightens and thickens, contracting the contents of one or both halves of the chest and reducing the mobility of the ribs. The peel can become deeper than 2 cm. [ 2 ] Within the chest, the lung is compressed and unable to expand (trapped lung), making it vulnerable to collapse ...

  8. Dystrophic calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystrophic_calcification

    Dense scars may undergo hyaline degeneration and calcification. Atheroma in aorta and coronaries frequently undergo calcification. [3] [4] Cysts can show calcification. Calcinosis cutis is condition in which there are irregular nodular deposits of calcium salts in skin and subcutaneous tissue. Senile degenerative changes may be accompanied by ...

  9. Fibrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrosis

    Fibrosis can occur in many tissues within the body, typically as a result of inflammation or damage. Common sites of fibrosis include the lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, and heart: Micrograph showing cirrhosis of the liver. The tissue in this example is stained with a trichrome stain, in which fibrosis is colored blue.
