Aphthae are single or multiple small painful ulcers, preceded by a burning sensation, with a yellow background surrounded by a non-indurated red border, healing usually in 8-10 days. They usually affect the buccal mucosa, but sometimes they are bipolar (orogenital) with possible variants: deep

Giant papillary conjunctivitis is a syndrome found frequently as a complication of contact lenses. Many variables can affect the onset and severity of the presenting signs and symptoms. Rigid gas permeable contact lenses appear to result in less severe signs and symptoms, with a longer time before

Whereas giant cell arteritis (GCA) was considered a rare disease 50 years ago, the generalized arteritis is now recognized as an important and significant cause of morbidity in elderly people; its cause and pathogenesis is poorly understood. Glucocorticosteroids are the drug of choice in all

A giant retroperitoneal desmoid (30 x 15 cm), in a 16-year old girl arising from psoas fascia is reported. Despite debulking surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy, anti-oestrogen agents and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, 3 years later she died from tumour invasion of major blood vessels and bowel,

Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC), which is characterized by the development of "giant" papillae on the superior tarsal conjunctivae, is a common complication in contact lens wearers. This condition can be associated with excessive mucus production, itching, blurry vision, and

BACKGROUND Pathogenesis of giant papillary conjunctivitis is still elusive and many hypotheses are being proposed to explain the irritative symptoms associated with it. The research data available to date shows that mechanical, immunological and allergic components are involved in this to various

The subjects of the study were 112 patients with rheumatic polymyalgia (RPM) and giant-cell arteritis (GSA). The study shows that RPM and GSA are complicated by cerebral flow disturbances and myocardial infarction. Therapy with prednisolone and non-steroid antiinflammatory drugs reduces the risk of

METHODS A 59-year-old woman had for 3 weeks been suffering from painful, moist skin changes on the external genitals, for 3 months having noticed vegetations in the anogenital and perineal region. She had been fatigued and lacking in energy since then. Her last gynecological examination had been 20

We reported a patient with isolated dysphagia due to an esophageal canal stenosis compressed by focal cervical spondylotic osteophytes. The patient was a 63-year-old male who developed swallowing disturbance of predominantly solid materials. The neurological examination showed subjectively isolated

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a medium-to-large vessel vasculitis with potentially sight- and life- threatening complications. Our understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of GCA has advanced rapidly in recent times. The validity of using the American College of Rheumatology

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) was considered a rare disease 50 years ago; however, it is now known to be an important and significant cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly people. GCA is a generalised arteritis, although the aetiology and pathogenesis of this disorder are poorly understood. It is

The fibromatoses represent a broad group of fibroblastic proliferations characterized by infiltrative growth and a tendency toward recurrence but, unlike malignant fibrous tumors, they do not metastasize. Mesenteric fibromatosis arising from the mesentery of the small bowel is rare. It may be

Fibromatosis covers a broad spectrum of benign fibrous tissue proliferation and is characterized by slow growing, locally infiltrative growth pattern with a high propensity for local recurrence. We report on a case of multicentric fibromatosis originating from the retroperitoneal space and

Giant cell arteritis is an autoimmune disease defined by explicit tissue tropism to the walls of medium and large arteries. Pathognomic inflammatory lesions are granulomatous in nature, emphasizing the functional role of CD4T cells and macrophages. Evidence for a pathogenic role of antibodies and
