Medical - Medical (general) / schiumoso
Italian term or phrase: macrofagi schiumosi
This is from a report on a needle biopsy of a thyroid. "Frothy" seems out of place, to say the least. What's the correct medical term?

Thanks.

foamy macrophages
Explanation:
Recent advances have indicated that pathogen-induced dysregulation of host lipid synthesis and sequestration plays a critical role in this transition. The foamy macrophage appears to be a key player in both sustaining persistent bacteria and contributing to the tissue pathology that leads to cavitation and release of infectious bacilli.
