Fibrosis of the thyroid and lacrimal glands.
HASHIMOTO (1912) remarked on the similarity of the form of thyroiditis, described by him and now known by his name, to the lesions of Mikulicz's disease, which include a chronic inflammatory reaction in the lacrimal glands. Only recently, however, has evidence accumulated of a true association between non-infective chronic inflammatory lesions of the thyroid and lacrimal glands (Anderson, Gray,...
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 کاملLactoperoxidase: identification and isolation from Harderian and lacrimal glands.
Investigation of bovine lacrimal and harderian glands revealed the presence of the enzyme lactoperoxidase, which was isolated and purified. A nonheme, iron-containing protein was identified at the same time. Both proteins are present in milk, mammary glands, and salivary glands. Their roles are discussed: The lactoperoxidase may be important in controlling bacterial flora.
متن کاملRole of gap junctions in fluid secretion of lacrimal glands.
In glands such as the liver and pancreas, gap junctions containing connexin 26 and 32 (Cx26 and Cx32, respectively) couple the secretory cells. Uncoupling these junctions compromises the secretory function of these glands. Lacrimal glands also contain extensive arrays of gap junctions consisting of Cx26 and Cx32. We wanted to determine the role of these junctions in fluid secretion. In Cx32-def...
متن کاملDuctal cysts of the accessory lacrimal glands: CT findings.
Benign ductal cysts of the accessory lacrimal glands are uncommon lesions of the orbit, arising from the glands of Wolfring and Krause. We report two patients with histopathologically proved cysts in whom CT scans revealed well-circumscribed extraconal cystic lesions adjacent to the globe, involving both eyelids. Radiologists should be aware of these rare lesions so as to include them in the di...
