Psammoma bodies are calcified structures that are commonly found in certain types of tumours and pathological conditions. They are characterized by their concentric, lamellated structure and are composed primarily of calcium. Psammoma bodies are diagnostically significant, as their presence can indicate certain types of malignancies, such as papillary thyroid carcinoma, serous papillary ovarian carcinoma, and meningioma. Understanding the formation and significance of psammoma bodies can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
