| Histologically, thick collagen bundles were seen, characteristically whorling around vessels in a fibrotic stroma. |
| The pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for the progressive fibrotic response in IPF have yet to be determined. |
| These 4 specimens were extremely fibrotic, exhibited marked necrosis, or were small lesions that were difficult to scrape. |
| However, independent of the degree of fibrosis and contracture, the fibrotic cords consist of collagen bundles oriented in the direction of the aponeurotic fascia. |
| Patients with inactive, late emphysematous, or fibrotic sequelae of HP were classified in the control group. |
| In cases of Temporomandibular tightness, the joint itself may become fibrotic, or even ankylotic. |
