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...

granulomas. Linkage with TLRs could not be demonstrated and so far experiments with Mincle-deficient mice showed discrepant results related to anti-bacterial resistance. Lugo-Villarino et al. (6) give an account on the importance of the M1 M2 polarization that occurs during M.tb infection. Under the early TH1 (IFNg) influence M1 macrophages become strongly bactericidal. This shifts to a late Th...

Methanolic and aqueous extracts of Dendrophthoe falcata Linn. leaves which belongs to the Loranthaceae family, were evaluated through DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl -2-picryl-hydrazyl), antilipid peroxidation and nitric oxide scavenging methods to assess the antioxidant activity. Methanolic and aqueous extracts of Dendrophthoe falcata leaves were also evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by carr...

Objectives Pycnocycla bashagardiana is an endemic species found only in Iran. Due to the presence of myristicin as the major component of the fruit's oil we were prompted to assess the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of P. bashagardiana fruit's essential oil (PBFEO). Materials and Methods The analgesic activities of PBFEO (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, IP) were studied by hot-plat...

BACKGROUND Solitary cysticercus granuloma and single parenchymal calcified lesion are two common neuroimaging abnormalities in Indian patients with epilepsy. In this study, we evaluated the frequency and predictors of seizure recurrence in patients presenting with new onset epilepsy or single epileptic seizures and these two different imaging findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 115 pa...

introduction basidiobolomycosis is a rare disease that, unlike other fungal infections, affects immunocompetent individuals. it is caused by an environmental saprophyte named the fungus basidiobolus ranarum. basidiobolomycosis usually appears as a subcutaneous infection. gi basidiobolomycosis is an emerging disease, and the colon is the most frequent involved part of the gi tract. case presenta...

purpose : to report two cases of orbitofrontal cholesterol granuloma, which is a rare progressive destructive disease case reports : we report two patients with orbitofrontal cholesterol granuloma a 50-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman both with progressive proptosis due to a cystic lesion in the superior part of the orbit with frontal bone erosion and intracranial extension. the second case...

Manasse was first reported cholesterol granuloma of the middle ear in 1917. Shambaugh in 1929 described idiopathoc hemotympanum as a cause to the development of cholesterol granuloma of middle ear. Cholesterol granuloma have been seen in multiple area of the human body where cholesterol crystals may exist such as the lungs, breasts, peritoneum, mediastinum, liver, spleen, thyroid, kidneys, lymp...
