Crystalline inclusion with developing Schaumann body, polarized, in sarcoidosis
In pathology, Schaumann bodies are calcium and protein inclusions inside of Langhans giant cells as part of a granuloma.
Many conditions can cause Schaumann bodies, including:
- Sarcoidosis,
- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and
- Berylliosis.
- uncommonly, Crohn's disease and tuberculosis.[1]
Etymology
These inclusions were named after Swedish dermatologist Jörgen Nilsen Schaumann.[2]
