چکیده
Clinical changes of lacrimal gland (LG) in sarcoidosis are studied. 33 patients (66 orbits) with verified systemic sarcoidosis were examined using digital ultrasound. Different varieties of LG structural changes in sarcoidosis are studied. Different types of LG structural changes were determined in patients with sarcoidosis defined as pseudoedematous and combined forms. Analysis of the results let us reveal characteristic local acoustic changes. Obtained results may be useful for diagnosis of LG changes in patients with sarcoidosis.

Morphological Changes of Rabbit Lacrimal Gland Cells from Amiodarone Administration
Background: Amiodarone is a drug that is used for treatment of cardiac arrhythmia after cardiac ischemia. This drug as b blocker decreases arrhythmia rate but it has many side effects on different tissues. Since there are rare reports about changes of lacrimal glands, this research has been carried out to study the morphological and ultrastructural changes of lacrimal gland cells after amiodaro...
متن کاملBilaterally Diffuse Lacrimal Gland Involvement: Initial Presentation of Systemic Sarcoidosis
Orbital involvement in systemic sarcoidosis is a rare condition. We report a case of orbital sarcoidosis with bilaterally huge lacrimal gland involvement as the initial manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis. A 20-year-old woman admitted the ophthalmology department with progressive bilateral upper eyelid swelling for 6 months. The only pathologic finding was the presence of bilateral, symmetric...
متن کاملLacrimal Glands: Size Does Matter!
A 40-year-old woman presented with vague headaches and blurred vision. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed bilaterally symmetrical diffuse enlargement of the lacrimal glands. A fine needle biopsy of the lacrimal gland was consistent with sarcoidosis. Although, isolated lacrimal gland involvement is rare, it may be the initial clinical presentation of sarcoidosis, ...
متن کاملParallel Gene Expression Changes in Sarcoidosis Involving the Lacrimal Gland, Orbital Tissue, or Blood.
IMPORTANCE Sarcoidosis is a major cause of ocular or periocular inflammation. The pathogenesis of sarcoidosis is incompletely understood and diagnosis often requires a biopsy. OBJECTIVE To determine how gene expression in either orbital adipose tissue or the lacrimal gland affected by sarcoidosis compares with gene expression in other causes of orbital disease and how gene expression in tissu...
متن کاملSarcoidosis in a patient presenting with clinical and histological features of primary Sjögren's syndrome.
A patient presenting with bilateral enlargement of parotid and lacrimal glands, xerostomia, and keratoconjunctiva sicca, whose labial biopsy specimen showed changes consistent with Sjögren's syndrome, is described. The patient was initially misdiagnosed as having primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Subsequent investigations, however, performed to exclude an associated lymphoma or sarcoidosis, show...
