What is another word for Langhans Giant Cells?
Pronunciation: [lˈaŋhənz d͡ʒˈa͡ɪənt sˈɛlz] (IPA) 
Langhans giant cells, also known as Langhans cells, are specialized cells found in certain types of tissues. These cells are characterized by their large size and distinctive appearance. When observed under a microscope, they have a multinucleated structure with nuclei arranged in a horseshoe shape. Although they were originally described by Carl Louis Langhans in relation to tuberculosis, these cells are not limited to that context. They can also be present in inflammatory processes, autoimmune disorders, and even in certain types of cancer. Langhans giant cells are sometimes referred to as multinucleated giant cells, foreign body giant cells, or epithelioid giant cells, depending on the specific context or disease being discussed.
