Granulomas are classified as immune or foreign body granulomas. Of these, the immune granulomas, a hallmark of granulomatous inflammation, are closely related to cell-mediated immune responses. The aim of the present study is to characterize immune granuloma cells in 33 patients with granulomatous inflammation focusing on the expression of CD205 (DEC205), a cell surface marker of antigen presen...

AEGCG: annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma INTRODUCTION Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is an uncommon condition belonging to the family of elastolytic granuloma, which also includes actinic granuloma, atypical necrobiosis lipoidica of the face and scalp, and Miescher’s granuloma. Classification of AEGCG as a distinct entity has been controversial. Although some consider i...

The method of Garra and Baygorria, for localized antibody production, has been adapted for obtaining high-titered and monospecific antibodies against the murine toxin of Yersinia pestis. A hollow, perforated plastic golf ball surgically implanted under the skin of rabbits induced the formation of a granuloma. When the murine toxin of Y. pestis was injected directly into the granulomatous cavity...

Granuloma annulare is a benign, inflammatory dermatosis of uncertain etiology, classically presenting with localized or generalized, skincoloured to violaceous, non-scaly, dermal papules/nodules which may be discrete coalesce form annular roundish plaques. While granuloma benign disease, little known about its pathophysiology, and comorbidities. Furthermore, treatment remains poorly standardize...

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 ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the changes in IgE levels in diagnosis and postoperative monitoring of orbital fungal granuloma. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive analytical study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from July 2012 to June 2013. METHODOLOGY Cases with clinically high index of suspicion for orbital fungal granuloma and 50 healthy volunteers were in...

Introduction: Granuloma pyogenicum or pyogenic granuloma is common benign vascular lesion of oral cavity mucous membrane and skin particularly in children and young adult fingers. Most of granuloma pyogenicum achieve a size of about 2 cm but giant variant can achieve a size of more than 4–5 cm. Giant granuloma pyogenicum of scalp is a occasionally reported. Giant and multiple granuloma pyogenic...

Foreign body granuloma is an inflammatory tissue reaction around retained foreign bodies after penetrating trauma. The granulomatous a natural mechanism of the to heal wounds by restricting damage done pathological agent and containing wound site only. Here we present classic case on dorsal aspect forearm. This was evaluated radiologically high-frequency ultrasound X-ray imagining operated afte...

and sewage is to be properly removed. Most soldiers have been brought up in an environment where these standards are the rule. The degree to which such standards can suddenly be furnished and maintained within large hurriedly constructed Army camps in wartime, and provided for the soldier in the field, and for the soldier in combat, was the monumental task described in this volume. It is a reco...
