Mandibulary Eosinophilic Granuloma: Case Series
2008
Eosinophilic granuloma is a proliferation of Langerhans cells in the bones that most commonly involving the skeletal system. The disease generally affects children or young adults with predominance in males and it is characterized by a single or multiple skeletal lesions. This study describes a few cases of mandibular Eosinophilic Granuloma and the effects of surgical curettage of lesions
Confluens-sinuum-Obstruktion durch Langerhanszell-Histiozytose
1996
Die Langerhanszell-Histiozytose, bis vor wenigen Jahren als Histiozytose X bezeichnet, umfast 3 verschiedene Syndrome, namlich das eosinophile Granulom, die Hand-Schuller-Christian-Krankheit sowie die Abt-Letterer-Siwe-Krankheit, und gehort zu den seltenen Erkrankungen des Kindesalters. Wir berichten uber einen 10 jahrigen Jungen, der mit einer Schwellung am Hinterkopf und beginnender Hirndrucksymptomatik zur stationaren Aufnahme kam. Klinik, konventionelle radiologische Diagnostik und Computertomographie liesen differentialdiagnostisch ein eosinophiles Granulom als wahrscheinlich erscheinen. MRT und MRT-Angiographie zeigten jedoch die akute Bedrohung des Patienten durch das intrakraniale W…
Ecthyma- und Keratoakanthom-�hnliche eosinophile Granulome der Haut
1967
Mitteilung einer Beobachtung rezidivierender Ecthyma-und Keratoakanthom-ahnlicher Hautveranderungen bei einem ansonsten gesunden 69 jahrigen Mann, denen histologisch — am Hohepunkt der feingeweblichen Entwicklung — reticulo-histiocytar differenzierte Granulome mit massenhaft Eosinophilen und chronisch-entzundlicher Begleitinfiltration zugrunde lagen. Nach einem Uberblick uber die Entstehung des vieldeutigen Begriffes “eosinophiles Granulom der Haut” wird — gestutzt auf die einschlagige Literatur — unter Berucksichtigung klinischer, histologischer und nosologischer Faktoren eine Einteilung der “eosinophilen Granulome der Haut” in drei Gruppen vorgeschlagen und der beobachtete Fall der zweife…
An uncommon presentation of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis: a case report
2013
Introduction Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a rare and potentially fatal disease if not readily diagnosed. Cerebral involvement is extremely rare and clinical presentation as hemorrhagic stroke is even rarer. Case presentation A 58-year-old Caucasian man was admitted to our medical unit because of a computed tomography-diagnosed hemorrhagic stroke with right-sided hemiparesis and fever. A chest computed tomography scan also revealed multiple bilateral pulmonary infiltrates; coronary artery, and carotid and left vertebral artery calcifications were also observed. Empiric antimicrobial therapy with cephalosporins was promptly undertaken; low-molecular-weight heparin was intr…
Pseudotumors and tumors of the temporomandibular joint. A review.
2012
Objective: To review the pseudotumors and tumors of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) published in journals included in Journal Citation Reports (JCR), and to evaluate whether there are clinical and radiological signs capable of differentiating between pseudotumors and tumors and between malignant and benign tumors. Material and Methods: A systematic Medline search was made of clinical cases of tumors and pseudotumors of the TMJ covering a 20-year period and published in journals included in JCR. Only cases with histological confirmation were included. A description is provided of the general characteristics of TMJ tumors, with comparison of the clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and evoluti…
Langerhans cell histiocytosis: Current concepts in dentistry and case report
2016
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), which is a rare granulomatous pediatric disease of unknown etiology, is characterized by the idiopathic proliferation and accumulation of abnormal and clonal Langerhans cells or their marrow precursors, resulting in localized, solitary or multiple destructive lesions. These lesions are most commonly eosinophilic granuloma, which are found in craniofacial bone structures such as the skull and mandible, skin and other organs. In children, the disease has a variable initial presentation, and the clinical course, prognosis and survival are unpredictable. The aims of this report were to present an LCH case in a girl aged 2 years, 8 months and her clinicopatho…
Eosinophilic granuloma of the skull vault: A case report
2016
Background: Eosinophilic granuloma is the benign form of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, a rare proliferative disorder. Skull osteolytic lesions are quite frequently encountered. Case report: We report the case of a 16 year old boy who was admitted to our Department with a painful swelling left frontal mass. A diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma was presumed on the basis of the neuroradiological findings. Surgical removal of the lesion was achieved and the bone defect reconstructed by autologous fibrin glue and a titanium mesh. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Conclusion: Although uncommon, eosinophilic granuloma should be considered in the differential diagnosis in case of an osteoly…
