Sir, Granuloma annulare (GA) is a benign granulomatous disease of unknown aetiology. The most common clinical manifestation is the appearance of skin-coloured small dermal nodules arranged in an annular configuration; however, several clinical variants are known, including papular (1), perforating (2), linear (3), and subcutaneous types (4, 5). We report here a case with papular GA accompanied ...

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas in affected organs. Pulmonary involvement is the most common site of disease activity. However, hepatic involvement is also common in sarcoidosis, occurring in up to 70% of patients. Most patients with liver involvement are asymptomatic. Therefore, the majority of cases are discovered incidentally, fr...

BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a multisystemic inflammatory disease of unknown origin. The lymphoid system and the lungs are the most commonly involved organs. The frequency of signs or symptoms of hepatic involvement is very low. CASE REPORT We present a case of symptomatic granulomatous liver disease secondary to sarcoidosis, mimicking a metastatic disease on ultrasonography and CT. CONCLUSION...

a case of bilateral intraosseous tumor of the calcaneus with different mri imaging is presented. on the left, radiological findings suggest intraosseous lipoma, but on the right-sided lesion, imaging studies were not convincing. the microscopic report showed foreign body granulomatous reaction, a rare clinical pathological discordant.

To report a rare case of bilateral granulomatous chorioretinitis complicated by bilateral peripapillary choroidal neovascular membranes. This is the first reported case in Australia where intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor ranibizumab were used to successfully treat choroidal neovascular membrane caused by granulomatous chorioretinitis. This is also the first rep...

In patients with malignancy, the common etiologies of granuloma formation are tumor related sarcoid reaction, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis and other granulomatous diseases. Often, the finding of granulomas in malignant patients may obscure the primary malignancy or may mislead towards treatment of infectious and other etiologies. Hence, their proper recognition and necessary follow up is needed to...

Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory granulomatous disease affecting multiple organs, including liver, spleen, heart, eyes, and skin. Liver involvement is reported in 11.5% of cases and many studies have reported on the association between hepatitis C virus infection and sarcoidosis. However, the role of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection as a trigger for sarcoidosis has never been reported. W...

The case of a 67-year-old woman with a large lump in the left axillary region and the left breast is presented. Pathologic investigation of these masses in 2 hospitals was inconclusive. Further work-up in our radiologic department showed beside the presence of the two tumoral masses, abnormalities with the radiologic characteristics of granulomatous mastitis. Final pathologic analysis showed th...

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease of unknown aetiology. Histological evidence of non-caseating granulomas represents the main finding. It affects mostly young people, targeting primary the lung and hilar lymph nodes although liver involvement is often encountered. Hepatic sarcoidosis covers a broad spectrum from asymptomatic hepatic granulomas formation and slightly deranged liver function t...

Granulomatous reaction associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) is a rare finding, and only a few cases have been described in the literature. It is postulated to occur due to cancer-related antigenic factors such as cancer cells themselves or soluble tumor antigens shed into the blood. Herein, we describe a case of a 56-year-old male patient diagnosed with CCRCC with intratumora...
