conclusion our study suggests that breast mri findings of igm have a wide spectrum. rim enhancement patterns are frequently seen on contrast enhanced images, but the imaging findings are nonspecific and cannot be used definitively to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions. patients and methods a retrospective analysis was conducted on 20 patients with igm who had been diagnosed by nee...

in patients with malignancy, the common etiologies of granuloma formation are tumor related sarcoid reaction, sarcoidosis, tuberculosis and other granulomatous diseases. often, the finding of granulomas in malignant patients may obscure the primary malignancy or may mislead towards treatment of infectious and other etiologies. hence, their proper recognition and necessary follow up is needed to...

Introduction: Granulomatous lesions comprise a large family of disorders sharing a common histological denominator of formation of granulomas, either immune or non-immune category with tuberculosis being the most common cause in our country. Aims and Objectives: To study the spectrum of granulomatous lesions in a tertiary care hospital, to categorise tuberculous versus non-tuberculous causes an...

INTRODUCTION Granulomatous reactions are seen in a wide variety of diseases. METHODS We present 3 cases referred to our clinic with presumptive diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) were diagnosed as nontuberculous granulomatous diseases. RESULTS Three cases were diagnosed as Tularemia, Cat-Scratch Disease (CSD) and idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) respectively. CONCLUSION In countries wi...

background and objective: non-specific granulomatous prostatitis is an uncommon diffuse inflammatory condition of the prostate. it is important because it may be mistaken for prostatic carcinoma. the aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of non-specific granulomatous prostatitis (nsgp) and comparing the results of transrectal ultrasonography, serum prostate specific antigen (psa) and...

Granulomatous mastitis is a recently described, rare condition of unknown aetiology. It occurs in young, parous women as a tender extra-areolar breast lump and therefore needs to be differentiated from carcinoma. Histologically, a discrete granulomatous lobulitis is seen and because of morphological similarities to granulomatous thyroiditis it has been suggested it may be immunologically mediat...

Oral granulomatous diseases are frequently observed due to a wide variety of infections. These represent a unique form of the chronic inflammatory response. Granulomatous diseases of the oral tissues are uncommon and are difficult to diagnose due to various etiological agents. Over the years, emergence of accurate molecular diagnostic techniques has enabled identification of causative organisms...

chronic granulomatous disease (cgd) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by inability of phagocytes to generate oxygen radicals needed for intracellular killing of phagocytic microorganisms. we report a 2.5-year-old iranian female with multiple liver abscesses. she was admitted in surgical ward because of abdominal pain and fever for one month duration that had no response to conventional...
