Image Aschoff Body in Rheumatic Myocarditis.jpg thumb Aschoff bodies are microscope microscopic structures seen in patients with rheumatic fever . In medicine , Aschoff bodies are nodule medicine nodules found in the heart s of individuals with rheumatic fever . They result from inflammation in the myocardium heart muscle and are characteristic of rheumatic heart disease. These nodules were discovered independently by Ludwig Aschoff and Paul Rudolf Geipel , and for this reason they are occasionally called Aschoff Geipel bodies . Appearance Microscopically, Aschoff bodies are areas of inflammation of the connective tissue of the heart , or focal interstitial inflammation. Fully developed Aschoff bodies are granuloma tous structures consisting of fibrin oid change, lymphocyte lymphocytic infiltration , occasional plasma cell s, and characteristically abnormal macrophage s surrounding necrosis necrotic centres. Some of these macrophages may fuse to form multinucleated giant cell s. Others may become Anitschkow cell s or caterpillar cells , so named because of the appearance of their chromatin .

Because of its overwhelming incidence on the gingiva , the condition is associated with two other disease s, though not because they occur together. Instead, the three are associated with each other because they appear frequently on gingiva and they also begin with the letter p pyogenic granuloma and peripheral ossifying fibroma . Because of its similar microscopic appearance to the bony lesions called central giant cell granuloma s, peripheral giant cell granulomas are considered by some researchers to be a soft tissue equivalent. The appearance of peripheral giant cell granulomas is similar to pyogenic granulomas. The color ranges from red to bluish purple, but is usually more blue in comparison to pyogenic granulomas. It can be sessile or pedunculated with the size usually being less than 2 cm. There is a gender difference with 60 of the disease occurring in female s. The prevalence of peripheral giant cell granulomas is highest around 50 60 years of age. It appears only on the gingiva or on an edentulous without teeth alveolar ridge. It is more often found in the Human mandible mandible rather than the maxilla but can be found in either anterior or posterior areas. The underlying alveolar bone can be destroyed, leaving a unique appearance referred to as cupping resorption or saucerization .

They have indistinct shape contour, often appear to merge into one another and can form aggregates known as giant cells. Clinical significance Epithelioid cells are an essential characteristic of granulomas that is to say that without them a granuloma is not a granuloma. A Granuloma can be defined as an organized collection of epithelioid macrophages. A non purist would give a broader definition of the granuloma as an organized collection of macrophages. The latter definition would include mere collections of giant cells surrounding inert substances like suture material the so called non immune granulomas. Granuloma formation is a strategy that has evolved to deal with those pathogens that have learned to evade the host immune system by various means like resisting phagocytosis and killing within the macrophages. Granulomas try to wall off these organisms and prevent their further growth and spread. Many old scourges of mankind like tuberculosis, leprosy and syphilis fall into this category of diseases. Granuloma formation is also the feature of many of our newer problems like fungal infections, sarcoidosis and Crohn s disease.
