Merge with Psammoma Bodies?
editCorpora arenacea are distinct from corpora amylacea, but they might be the same thing as psammoma bodies. If they are, should we merge this page with the psammoma body page? Example of a source equating them as the same: [1]
Would be helpful to have input on this from Pathologists and/or Histologists. Myoglobin (talk) 15:54, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
- Just heard from a Pathologist I know locally; they explained that corpora arenacea are calcium concretions not associated with any cell death/pathological changes, while psammoma bodies usually are caused by cell death. So, it seems they are likely different and perhaps that source above is making the same mistake I did. Anyone who finds additional evidence to the contrary should post here, else I'll stop looking into this. Myoglobin (talk) 21:31, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
