    GlossaryFibrous plaque

    thickened tissue area formed due to injury or inflammation

    Fibrous plaque refers to a thickened, hardened area of tissue that forms in response to injury or inflammation, often within blood vessels or the penile tissue in conditions like atherosclerosis or Peyronie's disease. This plaque is composed of collagen and other fibrous proteins, leading to reduced elasticity and potential functional impairment in the affected area.
