Fibrin Ring Granuloma
Fibrin Ring Granuloma (pronunciation: /ˈfaɪ.brɪn rɪŋ ˌgræn.jʊˈloʊ.mə/) is a unique pathological entity characterized by the presence of a necrotic center surrounded by a ring of fibrin and histiocytes.
Etymology
The term "Fibrin Ring Granuloma" is derived from the Latin words 'fibra' meaning fiber, 'ring' meaning circle, and 'granuloma' meaning small nodular inflammation in the tissue.
Definition
Fibrin Ring Granuloma is a specific type of granuloma that is characterized by a central area of necrosis surrounded by a ring of fibrin. This is often associated with certain infections and conditions such as Q fever, visceral leishmaniasis, and Hodgkin's disease.
Clinical Significance
Fibrin Ring Granulomas are often found in patients with Q fever, an infection caused by the bacterium Coxiella burnetii. They can also be seen in visceral leishmaniasis, a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, and in Hodgkin's disease, a type of lymphoma.
