Crocodile mummy — Definition
Timsah mumyası / Crocodile mummy
Historically it is the name given to the remains of waxed kalıntıları; but in modern medicine literature, this term is used to describe a rare pathological appearance, characterized by densecalcification and fibrosis under the capsule. This condition causes the organ surface to gain a hard, pulled structure that resembles timsah skin. Clinically, the underlying chronic infection can be associated with granular diseases such as tuberculosis or sarcoidosis. The diagnosis often comes with imaging methods and histopatological examination.
