Orofacial granulomatosis: a rare case report with review of literature
2010
The term orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) is a descriptive term used for granulomatous disorders affecting the face and oral cavity, which can occur for a variety of reasons resulting in significant morbidity. It is characterised by persistent swelling that may involve one or both the lips and /or recurrent ulcers and a variety of other orofacial features. Medical history is very important in the diagnosis of OFG as medical condition like Crohn’s disease can also present an extra intestinal manifestation of OFG. Exclusion of other entities like sarcoidosis, mycobacterial infections, foreign body reactions and biopsy helps to establish a correct diagnosis. Herein we report a case of OFG in a 5…
Pyogenic granuloma in relation to dental implants: Clinical and histopathological findings
2015
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 been assessed. Results: Clinical and histopathological diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma had been reached for soft mass growth in association with dental implants in 10 patients. Histological analysis of all samples was performed to obtain a firm diagnosis of finding against pyogenic granuloma lesions.…
Ar ANCA asociēto glomerulonefrītu terapijas efektivitātes izvērtējums Paula Stradiņa Klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas Nefroloģijas centrā
2018
Ar anti-neitrofilu citoplazmas antivielām asociētie vaskulīti ir reta, autoimūna slimība, ko raksturo iekaisums un nekroze maza un vidēja kalibra asinsvados. Izšķir trīs slimības fenotipus: granulomatoze ar poliangiītu (GPA), mikroskopiskais poliangiīts (MPA) un eozinofilā granulomatoze ar poliangiītu (EGPA). Aptuveni 80 % pacientu ar GPA un 90 % pacientu ar MPA slimības gaitā attīstās nieru bojājums – ar ANCA asociēts glomerulonefrīts (AAGN). Kopš imūnsupresīvās terapijas ieviešanas, remisiju iespējams inducēt līdz pat 90 % pacientu, tomēr joprojām pastāv problēmas AAV ārstēšanas taktikā. Vismaz 20 % pacientu ir rezistenti pret sākotnējo terapiju un vismaz 50 % slimnieku 5 gadu laikā attīs…
Granuloma anulare disseminatum als seltene Nebenwirkung von Allopurinol
1995
During long-term therapy of hyperuricaemia with allopurinol (300 mg/d) two patients developed generalized granuloma annulare. The diagnoses were confirmed by histology; concomitant diseases, especially diabetes mellitus, were not detectable. Following discontinuation of allopurinol therapy, cutaneous granulomas healed without relapse. Hyperuricaemia could be controlled by low-purine diet and medication avoiding allopurinol. The clinical history of our two patients suggested a causal connection between allopurinol therapy and generalized granuloma annulare. For this reason we rate the development of this disease in both cases as a rare but significant side effect of allopurinol. This should …
