Adenosclerosis
Definition
The pathological induration or hardening of a gland or a lymph node, caused by the progressive replacement of functional parenchymal tissue with fibrous connective tissue. This structural phenomenon occurs as a result of chronic inflammatory processes, local vascular disorders, or senile involution, leading to a reduced secretory or filtering capacity of the affected organ.
