eosinophilic granuloma/edema

A solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the central nervous system is an unusual manifestation of histiocytosis X. A unique case of a solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the right temporal lobe without osseous involvement is described. A 20-year-old man presented with a grand mal seizure. Magnetic

A 60-year-old man with a history of diabetes insipidus presented with a left groin mass, leg edema, and retroperitoneal adenopathy. Biopsy results of the involved lymph nodes were typical of eosinophilic granuloma. The patient was treated with etoposide and prednisone and had a complete regression

We present clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings and treatment results of two infants with orbital eosinophilic granuloma. Both patients presented at 1 year of age with unilateral proptosis, periorbital edema, and a superotemporally located, ill-defined orbital mass on computed

A 42-year-old Thai man from central Thailand came to Ramathibodi Hospital with the complaint of abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed localized tenderness in the right lower quadrant. The clinical impression was acute appendicitis and an operation was performed, revealing a large mass in the

A total of 116 cases of intestinal eosinophilic granuloma caused by Angiostrongylus costaricensis in children were studied during the 10-year period 1966-1975 at Costa Rica's National Children's Hospital. A similar prevalence of cases was observed each year. The disease was twice as frequent in

BACKGROUND Several reports have shown peritumoral edema accompanying primary bone tumors demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the mechanism of this inflammatory reaction is still unclear. The authors postulated that the reaction was caused by some chemical mediators including

After plain radiography has been performed, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is considered the modality of choice for the evaluation of suspected musculoskeletal lesions because of its exquisite sensitivity to changes in the signal intensity of marrow and soft tissue. That sensitivity, however, may

We reported here three cases of non-imported anisakiasis in Spanish patients. Eating raw sardines was the only common epidemiological feature. Two of the cases presented clinically as a bowel obstruction, and underwent an emergency surgical procedure. In the intestinal biopsy a larva of Anisakiasis

The aim of this study was to report on a rare case of Garré's sclerosing osteomyelitis. The patient was a 54-year-old woman with a history of treatment for lupus using corticoids for 20 years, and for osteoporosis using alendronate for five years. She presented edema and developed a limitation of

BACKGROUND Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH, histiocytosis X, ICD-O 9751/1) refers to a neoplastic proliferation of Langerhans cells. The course of the disease determines the treatment and prognosis. Solitary forms (eosinophilic granuloma) and limited multilocational lesions may be treated

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to review 14 rare cases of cerebral paragonimiasis that first manifested as intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and to investigate the characteristics of clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. METHODS The authors have encountered 14 cases

Parasite-free pony foals (n = 10) were infected orally with 1000,000 Parascaris equorum embryonated eggs. One pony foal each was euthanatized on days 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 16, 23, 27, 42, or 80 after infection. Foals infected for more than 7 days showed signs of coughing, anorexia, rough coat, and weight

A 6-year-old female Rocky Mountain horse was presented for evaluation of draining tracts and distal limb subcutaneous edema on the left front and left hind limbs that had been present for 2 weeks. Direct smears of fluid collected by fine-needle aspiration of subcutaneous fluid from both limbs were

The Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare disease characterized by the clonal proliferation of CD1a + myeloid dendritic cells associated with a significant inflammatory component. The localized form of the disease is called eosinophilic granuloma. Bone involvement is common; in children, lytic
