Granuloma

In medicine , a granuloma is a group of epithelioid macrophages surrounded by a lymphocyte cuff. Granulomas are small nodules that are seen in a variety of diseases such as Crohn's disease, tuberculosis, Leprosy, sarcoidosis, berylliosis and syphilis. It is also a feature of Wegener's granulomatosis and Churg-Strauss syndrome, two related autoimmune disorders.An important aspect of granulomas is whether they are caseating or not. Caseation is a form of necrosis at the centre of a granuloma and is a feature of the granulomas of tuberculosis. (From the Wikpedia article Granuloma.)
