IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare immune-mediated condition associated with fibro-inflammatory lesions. It was first recognized as distinct in 2003 [1,2]. of middleaged patients, mean age at diagnosis approximately 60 years old that predominates men [1]. often presents multiorgan occurring synchronous or metachronous fashion tendency to form tumor-like lesions almost every organ system

Results The mean MRI maximum diameter was 46mm (range 12-69). Three lesions showed a mass-like enhancement; one lesion showed a non mass-like enhancement. For the mass-like lesions kinetic curve assessment of initial rise showed slow enhancement in one lesion, rapid enhancement in two lesions, and medium enhancement in one lesion. Assessment of delayed enhancement showed plateau in 3 lesions an...

conclusions our data has provided baseline information about epidemiologic aspects of oral mucosal lesions which can be valuable in organized national program targeting on oral health and hygiene in the society. results the prevalence of mucosal lesions in our study was 19.4%. our data demonstrated higher prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in males and young adults (30-40 years). the most commo...

we report a patient diagnosed with whipple's disease (wd) who presented only with neurological symptoms. neuroimaging (mri) showed lesions with marked mass effect similar to infiltrative tumors, which were hypersignal on long tr and hyposignal on short tr images, located in several areas of the brain. in serial controls, lesions resolved with gliosis and atrophic changes as well as migration of...

Effect of cerebellar lesion and vestibular stimulation (VS) on the activity and alternation of ECL-cells along with changes in gastric volume and acid secretion was studied. The results suggest that cerebellar lesion caused increased gastric volume and acid secretion and tended to decrease ECL-cell density. On the other hand VS of nodular lesioned rats resulted in decrease of above parameter wh...

Scleroderma-like cutaneous lesions have been found in many pathological conditions and they the clinical appearance of sclerotic or scleroatrophic lesions. Affected skin biopsies described histopathological changes similar to those scleroderma located strictly on systemic sclerosis. These can be inflammatory diseases with autoimmune substrate (generalized morphea, chronic graft versus host dise...

Ovaries are hormone influence organs and make a base for related diseases. Many other lesions are also seen in ovaries which are not related to hormonal disturbance. Ovarian lesions are not diagnosed in early stages as they are asymptomatic and physically difficult to examine. Though the non neoplastic lesions are very common when compared to neoplastic lesions of the ovary, there are very few ...

INTRODUCTION Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare entity related to kidney transplantation. It usually presents with ecthyma-like lesions and black necrotic cellulitis. We report an unusual case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis presenting as erythema-nodosum-like lesions in a woman who had received a renal transplant. CASE PRESENTATION A 49-year-old woman with diabetes received a living-unrelate...
