Term ID: 3651
Name: Foam cells
Synonym: Foamy histiocytes; Foamy macrophages; Lipid-laden histiocytes; Presence of foam cells
Definition: The presence of foam cells, a type of macrophage that localizes to fatty deposits on blood vessel walls, where they ingest low-density lipoproteins and become laden with lipids, giving them a foamy appearance.
