It is a form of granuloma . Gummas are most commonly found in the liver gumma hepatis , but can also be found in brain, heart, skin, bone, testis, and other tissues, leading to a variety of potential problems including neurology neurological disorders or heart valve disease. Description Gummas are usually found on the face, trunk or extremities, although any organ can be affected. Gummas have a firm, necrotic center surrounded by inflamed tissue, which forms an amorphous proteinaceous mass. The center may become partly hyaline hyalinized . These central regions begin to die through coagulative necrosis , though they also retain some of the structural characteristics of previously normal tissues, enabling a distinction from the granulomas of tuberculosis where caseous necrosis obliterates preexisting structures. Other histological features of gummas include an intervening zone containing epithelium epithelioid cells with indistinct borders and multinucleated giant cell s, and a peripheral zone of fibroblast s and capillary capillaries . Inflitration of lymphocyte s and plasma cell s can be seen in the peripheral zone as well. With time, gummas eventually undergo fibrous degeneration, leaving behind an irregular scar or a round fibrous nodule.

Expert subject Medicine date November 2008 Refimprove date December 2007 Cardiovascular pathology is the study of disease s of the heart and blood vessel s. Atherosclerosis main Atherosclerosis Atherosclerosis is the most common vascular disease. It is the main cause of death of approximately 60 of people in the developed world. Citation needed date May 2007 The word atherosclerosis is derived from the Greek language Greek athere porridge and scleros hardness . Atherosclerosis is a disease that affects medium to large arteries . Its predilection for branches and bends has become better understood from flow modeling. High shear laminar flow, such as at the external curvature or medial flow divider is protective. In contrast, at the lateral walls modeled best at the Carotid artery carotid bifurcation , shear is low at best and often becomes turbulent or non laminar, producing oscillating vectors of shear stress. This area of research was pioneered by Glagov in the 1980s and recently its molecular mechanism has been worked out in greater detail. Citation needed date May 2007 Atherosclerosis is the main cause of ischaemic coronary heart disease, carotid artery stenosis by occlusion or thromboembolism. In turn, this can cause ischaemia in the cerebral arteries , presenting either as transient ischaemic attack or Cerebrum cerebral infarction. Abdominal aortic atherosclerotic aneurysm s, where the main artery in the abdomen becomes abnormally wide with a thin wall, can burst. Peripheral vascular disease PVD , which causes intermittent claudication or gangrene of the extremities and pain in the legs when walking, can be relieved by rest. Heart attack and stroke are very loose terms. Heart attack most commonly indicates myocardial infarction . It is sometimes used to denote dysrhythmia . Coronary thrombosis is typically due to plaque rupture.
