MYELOPLAQUE Meaning and Definition

1. Myeloplaque is a medical term that refers to a localized area of plaque or disorganized tissue growth in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is the soft, spongy tissue found inside bones and is responsible for the production of various blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

   In the context of myeloplaque, the term "myelo-" pertains to the bone marrow, while "-plaque" denotes the presence of a localized accumulation or growth. Myeloplaques can develop due to a variety of reasons, including underlying hematologic disorders or malignancies.

   The appearance of myeloplaques in the bone marrow can disrupt the normal function and production of blood cells. This can result in reduced blood cell counts and anemia, increased susceptibility to infections, and abnormal bleeding tendencies.

   Diagnosis of myeloplaque typically involves a thorough physical examination, blood tests, and a bone marrow biopsy. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. It may involve addressing the specific hematologic disorder, such as with medications or chemotherapy, or in some cases, a bone marrow transplant may be required.

   Overall, myeloplaque refers to a localized area of abnormal tissue growth or plaque formation within the bone marrow, potentially leading to various complications related to blood cell production and function.

2. Myeloplax, osteoclast.

Etymology of MYELOPLAQUE

The word "myeloplaque" is derived from two Greek roots: "myelo" meaning bone marrow, and "plaque" meaning a patch or a plate.

The term "myelo" is derived from the Greek word "myelos", which means marrow or the soft, fatty tissue found inside bones. "Plaque" is derived from the Greek word "plax", which means a flat, broad object. In medical terminology, "myeloplaque" refers to a localized accumulation or thickening of bone marrow in certain diseases, particularly in the bone marrow disorders like myeloproliferative neoplasms.
