What is the Histological Appearance of Touton Giant Cells?
Histologically, Touton giant cells have a unique appearance that makes them relatively easy to identify. The nuclei are arranged in a circular or horseshoe pattern around a central, often lipid-rich, cytoplasmic region. The cytoplasm may appear foamy or vacuolated due to the presence of lipids. This distinctive morphology helps differentiate them from other types of giant cells, such as Langhans giant cells or foreign body giant cells.
