- Fibrinous exudation occurs in more severe endothelial injury.
- Injury results in the escape of fibrinogen, which is converted to fibrin.
- The fibrin formed appears as a yellowish coagulation on the surface of or within a tissue.
- Common in the lungs and on serous surfaces.
- In hollow organs the fluid may coagulate to form casts of the lumen.
- Fibrin will peel off from the underlying tissue without causing damage to it.
