this page is too technical/medical, it is hard to understand from the viewpoint of a scientific undergraduate rather than a medical student, could someone ammend this please.

I agree. I'm tagging the page as such. RobertM525 00:20, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Can you write something about sarcoidal granuloma? Thanks. --Eleassar777 20:41, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] non-necrotizing versus non-caseating

The more precise terminology is "non-necrotizing" or "necrotizing rather than "non-caseous or "caseous," as Yale Rosen, M.D. explained: "The use of the terms "caseating" and "non-caseating" to describe the microscopic appearance of granulomas, although prevalent, is inappropriate since the term "caseous" applies only to the grossly visible cheese-like appearance that may be associated with necrotizing granulomas, necrotic neoplasms and other types of necrotic lesions. There is no typical microscopic appearance that corresponds to the gross appearance of caseation." See URL http://www.granuloma.homestead.com/morphology.html

[edit] Aschoff cells

You referred that Aschoff cells (and thus anitschkow cells) are derived from macrophages, however, there is alot of controversy over their true origen. There are those that defend that they are cardiac histocytes, nonetheless, others defend that they derive from muscle cell, others defend that they are derived from diseased lymphatic vessels and there are yet those that believed they are derived from nerves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aschoff anitschkow (talk • contribs) 04:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
