The possibility of a sixth group, granulation tissue, was also considered for this classification schema. The term "granulation tissue" was used by Virchow to define granulomatous inflammation. He probably used this term in a broader context than our present definition of granulation tissue (ie, fibrocapillary proliferation). Using the more narrow and perhaps more precise definition, we think that granulation tissue does not constitute a form of granulomatous inflammation.</p>  a0011-9059
