🙏 This is exactly what I was looking for. Everything makes sense now. Thanks a million. I owe you one!

P.S. I just realized I was totally misreading that word this whole time... sibilance didn't even cross my mind... but now that I'm actually thinking about it, does sidero have some connection to iron and Greek mythology? 😁

Can someone help me make sense of this sentence from a biopsy report for an ovarian cyst that was removed?

"The described cyst consists of a fibrous wall containing scattered infiltrates of siderophages, while the inner surface is lined by a layer of fibrin without any evidence of epithelium."

I already know the cyst was benign and everything turned out fine, but I’m one of those people who needs to understand every single detail, and I just can't wrap my head around what "siderophage" actually means. Thanks!
