Answer:
"Friable" describes the condition of tissue that is easily broken or torn. That can be the result of infection or damage to the tissue from injury or disease. For example, the skin of a scleroderma patient that it is very taut and "stretched thin" can be easily damaged. That tissue would be called friable.
