Multifocal fibrosclerosis - what does this mean
Multifocal fibrosclerosis is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by the formation of multiple fibrotic lesions in the skin, muscles, and internal organs. it is caused by the body's immune system mistakenly attacking healthy tissue, leading to the formation of scar tissue and fibrosis.
What happens during the disease - multifocal fibrosclerosis
Multifocal fibrosclerosis is a rare, autoimmune disorder that is characterized by the formation of fibrotic lesions in multiple organs and tissues. it is thought to be caused by an abnormal immune response to self-antigens, resulting in the production of autoantibodies and the recruitment of inflammatory cells that lead to the deposition of collagen and other extracellular matrix components. this results in the formation of fibrotic lesions and the subsequent destruction of normal tissue architecture.
