OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Vocal process granuloma has been attributed to intubation, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and phonotraumatic/hyperfunctional vocal behaviors. Vocal process granuloma has recurrence rates following surgical excision approaching 92%. We hypothesize that a portion of persistent or idiopathic cases of vocal process granuloma result from underlying glottal insufficiency (GI) caused ...

introduction: central giant cell granuloma is a benign lesion but sometimes has aggressive proliferation composed of multinucleated giant cells in a background of spindle and ovoid mesenchymal cells. multifocal central giant cell granuloma of jaws is very rare and usually associated with hyperparathyroidism and some syndromes. we described an un-usual case of a 22-year-old man with idi-opathic ...

introduction: pyogenic granuloma (pg) is a prevalent inflammatory hyperplasia of skin and oral mucosa which is often caused by constant low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. in many cases, gingival irritation and inflammation due to poor oral hygiene are precipitating factors. oral pg occurs predominantly on the gingiva, but it is also encountered on the lips, tongue...

OBJECTIVE This article aims to determine the incidence of periapical granuloma from extracted teeth and correlate the clinical diagnoses with the histopathological types of periapical granuloma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Over a period of eight months, a prospective study designed as a routine biopsy of recoverable periapical tissues obtained from patients who had single tooth extraction was carrie...

BACKGROUND The occurrence of pyogenic granuloma in association to dental implants is rare and only five cases have been reported in the literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients charts were analyzed to select patients who had been diagnosed for pyogenic granuloma and its association with dental implants had been evaluated. The clinical status of the dental implants and the prosthesis had also...

Sarcoidosis is considered the archetype of immune granulomatous disorders, since immunoregulatory mechanisms that play a part in the development of the sarcoid granuloma may modulate pathogenetic events leading to granuloma development in other granulomatous diseases [1]. Remarkable advances have been made in understanding general immunological and molecular aspects of the mechanisms leading to...

Background: Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular proliferation that is often related to minor trauma by the patient. Objective: Evaluation of the efficacy of cryotherapy in the treatment of pyogenic granuloma. Patients and Methods: Hundred and forty-six patients with pyogenic granuloma were treated by cryosurgery using liquid nitrogen and cotton tip applicator in an open clinical trial. This...

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common, acquired tumor-like growth occurring on skin/mucous membranes. It is prevalent in the pediatric age group. It is benign in nature and is caused by chronic low grade trauma. It presents as pink to red elevated pedunculated or sessile mass. There are various treatment modalities including surgery, cryotherapy, laser, electrocautery, etc. However, the therapeut...

We present a case of solitary eosinophilic granuloma in the skull of a 6-year-old Saudi boy. This osteolytic lesion has fluid-fluid level on CT and MRI. We are presenting a rare radiological finding of eosinophilic granuloma.

Granuloma annulare has been associated with systemic disease including diabetes mellitus. We report a case of a 62-year-old Japanese woman with generalized erythematous granuloma annulare who showed remission after substantial improvement in hyperlipidemia following a strict lipid-lowering diet. The lesion appeared in the lower abdomen one year before current presentation and subsequently sprea...
