OBJECTIVES An indirect immunofluorescence technique applied to paraffin embedded tissue sections of lesions containing Donovan bodies was evaluated as a serological test for the diagnosis of granuloma inguinale. METHODS Sera from patients with proven granuloma inguinale, other sexually acquired genital ulcerations and blood donors from areas where granuloma inguinale is rarely encountered as ...

Localised Langerhans-cell histiocytosis of bone (eosinophilic granuloma) is a benign tumour-like condition with a variable clinical course. Different forms of treatment have been reported to give satisfactory results. However, previous series all contain patients with a wide age range. Our aim was to investigate the effect of skeletal maturity on the rate of recurrence of isolated eosinophilic ...

Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma is a very rare benign condition, which usually manifests as solitary and sometimes as multiple pulmonary nodules. Deposition of immune complexes in the lung parenchyma due to hypersensitivity reactions is implicated in the etiology of pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma. A 59-year-old female patient who presented to our clinic with complaints of chest pain and cough ...

Objectives: Cholesterol granuloma of the sphenoid sinus has rarely been reported. Methods: A 50-year-old man visited our hospital presenting with a 2-year history of intermittent right-sided headache, 1-month history of right-sided tinnitus, and 5-year history of nasal obstruction and purulent nasal discharge. Computed tomography revealed a well-demarcated expansile mass in the right sphenoid s...

Cholesterol granuloma is a rare, well-defined lesion of the orbit. In the orbit, diploe of the frontal bone is involved almost exclusively. We report an atypical case of cholesterol granuloma involving superomedial quadrant of orbit. A 42-year-old male presented with progressive, painless, proptosis with infero-temporal displacement of left eye. A large mass was felt beneath the bony orbital ma...

A subglottic granuloma is one of the late-phase complications that can occur after intubation. It can cause a life-threatening airway obstruction; therefore, a rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan is necessary. A 62-year-old male had undergone an emergency total arch replacement for acute aortic dissection. Postoperative ventilation support had been performed until the 15th postoperat...

UNLABELLED Vocal process granuloma is a disease whose etiopathogenesis is not well defined. Therefore, its clinical and surgical treatment is not standardized and its therapeutic results depend on the hospital where it is seen. AIM Aiming to characterize patients with vocal process granuloma treated in our hospital, the therapeutic approach used and clinical evolution. MATERIAL AND METHOD W...

Study Design: Case report. Patient Sample: A 42year-old Caucasian male. Results: Catheter-tip granuloma formation is possible despite a normal catheter access study in patients with intrathecal (IT) infusion systems and its recurrence is possible after surgical excision. Increasing concentrations of hydromorphone from 50 mg/ml to 100 mg/ml without altering the daily dosage may have precipitated...

OBJECTIVE to study the complications of no scalpel vasectomy such as scrotal haematoma, infection, scrotal sinus, and failure, recanalization, and sperm granuloma. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective, descriptive study carried out in Dept. of Obs/ Gyn, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital Kathmandu Nepal. RESULT Among 926 no scalpel vasectomy clients 5(0.53%) had scrotal haematoma, 4(0....

In human and canine visceral leishmaniasis and in various experimental models of this disease, host resistance is strongly linked to efficient granuloma development. However, it is unknown exactly how the granuloma microenvironment executes an effective antileishmanial response. Recent studies, including using advanced imaging techniques, have improved our understanding of granuloma biology at ...
