Schaumann body

In pathology, Schaumann bodies are calcium and protein inclusions inside of Langhans giant cells as part of a granuloma.

Many conditions can cause Schaumann bodies, including:
 * Sarcoidosis,
 * Hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and
 * Berylliosis.
 * uncommonly, Crohn's disease and tuberculosis.

Etymology
These inclusions were named after Swedish dermatologist Jörgen Nilsen Schaumann.
