KROK 1 2019 – Question 95 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathomorphology
Histological analysis of a biopsy skin sample obtained from a 24-year-old patient detects caseous necrosis surrounded with cellular infiltrate consisting of lymphocytes, among which there are single giant cells; proliferation of connective tissue and endovasculites are observed. Characterize this pathologic process:
- A. Catarrhal inflammation
- B. Proliferative granulomatous inflammation
- C. Proliferative interstitial inflammation
- D. Ichorous inflammation
- E. Abscess
Hint
Consider the dominant tissue reaction around the focus of necrosis (exudate versus cell proliferation) and the typical arrangement of cells that forms around it.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
