Hepatic Manifestations of Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous Diseases *
It is evident from both clinical and autopsy studies that sarcoidosis is usually a generalized disease. What was once regarded as a primary disorder of the skin is now known to include a, wide variety of apparently unrelated clinical syndromes, having as their common denominator a similar histopathology. The clinical features of the disease, which vary according to the distribution of lesions i...
متن کاملIdiopathic 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 کاملProteoglycans in granulomatous lung diseases.
In nongranulomatous fibrotic lung conditions, we have recently shown that early collagen synthesis by myofibroblasts occurs in an extracellular matrix rich in the proteoglycan versican. We hypothesized that versican is associated with the process of collagen synthesis resulting from chronic inflammation. In this study, we examined the localization of proteoglycans and collagen in the granulomat...
متن کاملImmunotherapy of type 1 diabetes: lessons for other autoimmune diseases
The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a well-recognised animal model of spontaneous autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The disease is T-cell mediated, involving both CD4 and CD8 cells. Its progress is controlled by a variety of regulatory T cells. An unprecedented number of immunological treatments have been assessed in this mouse strain. This chapter systematically reviews most of ...
