QUESTION
Most common type of thrombus is?
OPTIONS
(A) Laminated thrombus
(B) Red thrombus
(C) White thrombus
(D) Mixed thrombus
ANSWER
(D) Mixed thrombus
EXPLANATION
A mixed thrombus contains substantial components of both platelet-fibrin-rich material and erythrocytes and is the most common general type of thrombus described in pathology. White thrombi are predominantly platelet and fibrin rich, red thrombi contain more erythrocytes, and laminated thrombus describes the alternating appearance of lines of Zahn rather than a principal compositional category. Therefore, option D is correct.
