1907A. Whitfield Skin Dis. & their Treatm. xi. 172 Some of the epithelial cells become swollen from the imbibition of the plasma, and the condition thus produced is known as spongiosis. 1932R. L. Sutton Introd. Dermatol. iv. 30 Intercellular edema, or spongiosis, is shown by widening of intercellular spaces. 1966Wright & Symmers Systemic Path. II. xxxix. 1461/2 Spongiosis, separation of cells of the prickle cell layer by an accumulation of fluid between them—in other words, oedema of the epidermis. Sometimes referred to tautologically as ‘intercellular oedema’ to distinguish it from so-called ‘intracellular oedema’ (which is hydropic degeneration of the cytoplasm of epidermal cells, as seen, for example, in certain viral infections). 1976Lancet 27 Nov. 1168/2 The epidermis showed several areas of basal vacuolation and spongiosis with many eosiniphilic bodies. |
