What is a string fibrosis?

Stromal fibrosis is the development of fibrous tissue in stromal cells that form an important part of connective tissue. It can be identified on a biopsy of tissue in the area of ​​interest or concern. The pathologist will be able to identify an unusually high concentration of fibrous tissue between cells and can describe it as a string fibrosis. It may also have further findings from the same examination. Fibrosis generally occurs in response to inflammation, either chronic or recurring. Over time, repeated bouts of inflammation irritate and scar tissue, causing the accumulation of fibrous tissue. If sufficient fibrous material develops, it can turn into a stromal fibrosis. This finding may indicate the presence of the underlying disease, the poor response to the treatment of inflammation or something else, depending on other findings in the same tests.

is often a string fibrosis of benign. The pathologist will notice it because it is not expected, but it is not a reason for concern. The surrounding tissue should work as usual and a string cellKY will continue to provide support. For example, if the patient's breast biopsy shows signs of string fibrosis, it means that the basic tissues in the breast are fibrous, but do not indicate the presence of cancer or anything else. The pathologist can also find small cysts, proof of fibrocystic breast diseases.

The development of fibrosis may be a reason for concerns from other types of cellular changes. For example, a pathologist could identify signs of malignancy with fibrosis. Fibrosis may be the result of inflammation and irritation caused by a disease such as a cancer tumor. The doctor may apply for medical imaging studies and other tests, if a pathologist believes that string fibrosis shows a health problem. The doctor can use information from these tests to determine whether the patient needs treatment.

Stromal fibrosis detection can result in anything but a recommendation for monitoring the area for symptoms of tissue changes. The patient does not have to sweatTo yield any medical intervention and fibrous tissue may never turn into a reason for concern. In other cases, patients may need medicines, surgery and other treatment options to deal with the ongoing disease process. The pathologist can reconsider the tissue later to see how the patient responds well to treatment.
