Granuloma annulare is a granulomatous disorder of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, with different clinical types. Generalized granuloma annulare is a rarely encountered clinical entity. We describe a 60-year-old woman with a 4-month history of generalized annular lesions. She had a history of myelocytic leukemia and chronic hepatitis B virus infection. To date, both acute myelocytic leukemia...

purpose: to report a case of free floating pyogenic granuloma within the lacrimal sac. case report: a 13 month old infant with unresolving dacryocystitis and history of two times failed probing and once failed turbinate fracture was scheduled for dacryocystorhinostomy (dcr). a free floating red mass was removed from the sac. histopathologic examination confirmed a diagnosis of pyogenic granulom...

Cholesterol granuloma is a histological term used to describe the foreign body reaction towards cholesterol crystals causing granuloma. We report a case of cholesterol granuloma in a patient who presented with a mass in her ear after 6 years of mastoidectomy. The diagnosis has been confirmed by MRI and postoperative findings. The difference between cholesterol granuloma and the other entities e...

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a common reactive gingival lesion that histologically resembles the central giant cell granuloma, and is a central lesion of the jaws. Occasionally, central giant cell granuloma-like lesions may be seen in association with hyperparathyroidism. Rarely, PGCG-like lesions have been described in a background of hyperparathyroidism. We describe the case of a...

This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in.Pyogenic Granuloma Hyperplastic Lesion of the Gingiva: Case Reports. Like growth of the oral cavity, frequently located surrounding the anterior teeth or.Pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory hyperplasia affecting the oral tissues. Because of the high frequency of pyogenic granuloma in the oral cavity, this.Pyogenic gra...

L'actinomycose est une infection spécifique rare, non contagieuse. Elle se localise dans la région des maxillaires, avec une évolution chronique. Le germe le plus souvent incriminé est Maroc. Nous rapportons le cas d'un enfant âgé de 5 ans, qui a présenté des processus suppuratifs chroniques en rapport avec une actinomycose sous mandibulaire gauche. Le diagnostic de certitude a été porté par l'...

The method of transmission of granuloma inguinale is uncertain but there is an increasing amount of data which indicate that Donovania granulomatis, the organism associated with the disease, has a faecal habitat. One link in the chain of evidence of faecal transmission is the occurrence of granuloma inguinale in male homosexuals, in whom the lesions may be confined to the perianal region. Marme...

Anti-inflammatory activity of the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Morus indica Linn. was studied in wistar rats using the carrageenan induced left hind paw edema, carrageenan induced pleurisy and cotton pellet induced granuloma model. The ethanolic extract (100 mg/kg, p.o.) inhibited carrageenan induced rat paw edema. It also showed an inhibitory effect on leukocyte migration and a reduction...

The cotton pellet technique was used to evaluate the effect of 5-HT and certain related compounds on granuloma formation in the rat. 5-HT (10 mg/kg) significantly decreased granuloma formation, significantly increased adrenal weight, and significantly decreased thymus weight in normal rats, and significantly decreased granuloma formation and thymus weight in sham-operated rats. On the other han...

Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma is a condition characterized histologically by damaged elastic fibers associated with preponderance of giant cells along with absence of necrobiosis, lipid, mucin, and pallisading granuloma. It usually occurs on sun-damaged skin and hence the previous name actinic granuloma. A similar process occurs on the conjunctiva. Over the past three decades only fo...
