What are Common Histological Findings in Chronic Diseases?
Common histological findings in chronic diseases include:
Inflammation: Persistent inflammatory cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells are often present. Fibrosis: The excessive formation of connective tissue, leading to scarring and stiffening of the affected tissues. Hyperplasia: Increased cell proliferation, leading to tissue thickening. Atrophy: Reduction in cell size and number, leading to tissue shrinkage. Dysplasia: Abnormal cell growth and organization, which can be a precursor to cancer.
