[HSF] Pannus Formation

[Nasser F. Abou'Seada]

Was that a pannus ?? or rather fibrinous deposition "easily pealed" as seen
in Rheumatic cases ??? .... I'm not doubting .... just curious as covering
native valve leaflets ..... 
How was the case managed ? peeling pannus or else ???? ..... any data on the
patient age, associated pathology ,...... any histology ???? 

Incidentally that would led us to the inquisition of the nature of Pannus vs
layered fibrinous exudates !!!!
