On MRI, FAVA demonstrates high signal intensity due to the
fibrofatty components on T1- and T2-weighted images.
Caption: Figure 3a--Macroscopic examination of right ventricular cavity, which was dilated and showing signs of transmural
fibrofatty infiltration.
Fibrolipomatous hamartomas or neural fibrolipomas are benign
fibrofatty tumors that arise from the epineurium, making these tumors difficult to resect (2).
Noninvasive approaches including computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging enable observation of
fibrofatty infiltration of the myocardium in healthy subjects and in conditions of cardiomyoptahy, states after myocardial infarction, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, and others (5,14-17).

fibrofatty cells in the heart," American Journal of Translational Research, vol.
The histopathology result showed necrotic acutely inflamed
fibrofatty tissue (Figure 2).

fibrofatty tissue adjacent to the gallbladder.
Atherosclerosis is popularly defined as an artery wall thickening triggered by accumulation of foam cells and proliferation of intimal smooth muscle cell, which results in a
fibrofatty plaque.
AS is a specific form of arteriosclerosis in which an artery wall thickens as a result of invasion and accumulation of white blood cells (foam cells) and proliferation of intimal-smooth-muscle cell creating an atheromatous (
fibrofatty) plaque.
As a result, his penile arteries were atherosclerosed (artery wall thickened as a result of invasion and accumulation of white blood cells and proliferation of intimal-smooth-muscle cell creating an
fibrofatty plaque) preventing engorgement.
As breast development continues the
fibrofatty and glandular tissues increase.
This sub-study included 331 patients enrolled in the GLAGOV trial and explored whether Repatha produced changes in individual plaque components (dense calcium, fibrous,
fibrofatty, necrotic core) compared to placebo using virtual histology.
