Idiopathic granulomatous orbital inflammation.
Idiopathic granulomatous inflammation is regarded as a histopathologic variant of an orbital pseudotumor and has a similar clinical presentation and treatment. However, the differential diagnosis including sarcoidosis, Wegener's granulomatosis, trauma, and infection must be ruled out. We present a 77-year-old man with a biopsy-proven lacrimal gland granulomatous inflammation of an unknown origi...
متن کاملGranulomatous inflammation--a review.
The granulomatous inflammatory response is a special type of chronic inflammation characterised by often focal collections of macrophages, epithelioid cells and multinucleated giant cells. In this review the characteristics of these cells of the mononuclear phagocyte series are considered, with particular reference to the properties of epithelioid cells and the formation of multinucleated giant...
متن کاملMycobacterium-Infected Dendritic Cells Disseminate Granulomatous Inflammation
The disappearance and reformation of granulomas during tuberculosis has been described using PET/CT/X-ray in both human clinical settings and animal models, but the mechanisms of granuloma reformation during active disease remains unclear. Granulomas can recruit inflammatory dendritic cells (iDCs) that can regulate local T-cell responses and can carry bacteria into the lymph nodes, which is cru...
متن کاملThymopoietin and levamisole in chronic granulomatous inflammation.
Two animal models were used to investigate the mode of action of levamisole and thymopoietin. Neither compound influenced the subcutaneous carrageenan air pouch. While thymopoietin inhibited the formation of cotton pellet granulomas, levamisole enhanced it. This supports the conclusions of clinical studies reported elsewhere that levamisole and thymopoietin do not act in the same way in rheumat...
