Multifocal lesions

Multifocal lesions refer to multiple abnormal areas, such as spots, patches, or growths, occurring in different parts of an organ or tissue. They can originate from various conditions, including infections, autoimmune diseases, or cancers, and often indicate a widespread process affecting the body. The presence of these multiple lesions can help doctors determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment. Instead of a single, localized issue, multifocal lesions suggest that the problem is affecting multiple areas simultaneously, which can sometimes complicate diagnosis and management.
