Call–Exner bodies are small eosinophilic fluid-filled spaces between granulosa cells. The granulosa cells are usually arranged haphazardly around the space.
They are usually associated with Granulosa cell tumors.
They are composed of membrane-packaged secretion of granulosa cells and have relations to the formation of liquor folliculi which are seen among closely arranged granulosa cells.
They are named for Emma Louise Call (1847-1937), an American Physician, and Sigmund Exner.
Famous quotes containing the word bodies:
“Remember all those renowned generations,
They left their bodies to fatten the wolves,
They left their homesteads to fatten the foxes,
Fled to far countries, or sheltered themselves
In cavern, crevice or hole,
Defending Ireland’s soul.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
