On Fibrinous or Hyaline Degeneration in the Tubercle and Gumma

Abstract

Hyaline or fibrinous degeneration is rather frequently found in tubercles; it may occur in tubercles of all organs, but prefers certain organs (spleen, lymph glands, liver), therefore both organs afflicted by cavity formation and those not affected by ulcerous deterioration. It seems to be connected more often with the latter; at least it is rare in the lungs and entirely absent from the walls of cavities. It is a preliminary stage of caseous degeneration.
