Abstract
We present here a rare case of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of alveolar mucosa with regard to mandible associated with sarcoid-like reaction of cervical lymph nodes in a female patient in the absence of clinical evidence of systemic sarcoidosis. The relevant literature including...

Abstract
When Mycobacterium tuberculosis infects humans, about 20% of those infected actually develop tuberculosis (TB). In Japan, the incidence of TB in 2008 was 24,760 cases (19.4/100,000 persons) and the rate has been decreasing gradually, but is still higher than in the USA, Holland, and Belgium, for exa...

Abstract
Equine sarcoidosis is a rare disorder usually characterized by exfoliative dermatitis, moderate to severe wasting, and sarcoidal granulomatous inflammation of multiple organ systems. It has an unknown aetiopathogenesis. The condition is not related to equine sarcoid. This case report describes gener...

Abstract
CD4(+) T cells produce IFN-gamma contributing to corneal perforation in C57BL/6 (B6) mice after Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. To determine the role of NK and NKT cells, infected corneas of B6 mice were dual immunolabeled. Initially, more NKT than NK cells were detected, but as disease progressed...

Abstract
Tuberculosis is characterized by a tight interplay between Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) and host cells within granulomas. These cellular aggregates restrain M. tb spreading but do not kill all bacilli, which persist for years. A more detailed investigation of the interaction between M. tb and...

Abstract
These results indicate that T-bet plays a central role in controlling M. tuberculosis disease progression, in part through the regulation of both IFN-gamma and IL-10....

Abstract
The serum IL-10 content in the rats with mixed skin grafting (25.89 +/- 2.82 ng/L) at 7 postoperative day (POD) was evidently higher than that in normal rats (14.20 +/- 2.43 ng/L) (P < 0.05). The IL-10 content in the culture supernatant of rat tissue samples exhibited evident different during 4-14 P...

Abstract
Intracranial tuberculoma is typically located in the parenchyma. Lesions limited to the ventricular system are uncommon. It is difficult to make a differential diagnosis from other lesions if no systemic tuberculosis is present. This study investigates a case of solitary intraventricular tuberculoma...

Abstract
MGC were present in 10.7% of BAL specimens and occurred in low numbers. MGC were classified into Langhans' or foreign-body-type MGC (LF-MGC), alveolar macrophage-like MGC (AM-MGC) and nonspecific MGC (NS-MGC). LF-MGC were found most often in patients with sarcoidosis. AM-MGC were found in all groups...

Abstract
We histologically and immunohistologically examined multinucleated giant cells in 25 scar infiltrations (cutaneous sarcoidosis with foreign bodies) and 30 cutaneous lesions of sarcoidosis without foreign bodies. Regardless of the presence or absence of foreign bodies, the cutaneous lesions had both...

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN: A case report of cervical tuberculous spondylitis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Infection is a frequent problem in SLE, especially in patients hospitalised with the complications of the disease. Tuberculous spondylitis very rarely occurs in SLE patients, and cervi...

Abstract
We examined its effects on multinucleated-giant-cell (MGC) formation from monocytes. Supernatant of concanavalin A-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (conditioned medium) generated MGCs from monocytes. MDP significantly increased the fusion index of Langhans-type MGCs (LGCs) but did not a...

Abstract
The main morphological findings were the rounded-shaped, birefringent and multiple-budded fungi, Langhans' giant cells and epithelioid cells. The following associative measures were found: sensitivity, 67.9%; specificity, 91.7%; positive predictive value, 95.0%; negative predictive value, 55.0%; acc...

Abstract
hypertrophic folds with narrowing of the gastric lumen and multiple ulcers in the body. Gastric biopsy specimens showed non-specific inflammation. An open biopsy of the enlarged gastric regional lymph nodes was performed. The sections revealed effacement of the normal architecture and replacement by...

Abstract
Human cysticercosis, an infection caused by larvae of Taenia solium, is a major public health problem in many developing countries. Sixty-two of 23,402 biopsy cases have been detected as cysticercosis in the last 5 years in Patan Hospital. Most (82%) of the patients presented with solitary skin nodu...

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Granulomatous mastitis, a rare condition of unknown etiology, affects women of childbearing age and clinically simulates breast carcinoma. CASE: Granulomatous mastitis of the breast in a 32-year-old female was studied by fine needle aspiration cytology. Aspirated material was quite cellu...

Abstract
The clinical, histopathologic, and immunohistochemical features of 18 cases of cutaneous juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) and two cases of intramuscular JXG were compared. Clinically, intramuscular JXG differs from cutaneous JXG in that it seems to affect exclusively infants and toddlers and to occur...

Abstract
Numerous granulomas, Schaumann bodies, and a high clinical probability of sarcoidosis are significantly associated with that diagnosis. Necrosis does not exclude sarcoidosis. Clinicopathologic assessment of transbronchial biopsy specimens is useful in predicting the final diagnosis of sarcoidosis bu...

Abstract
Histological analysis of human leprosy periapical granulomas was conducted to study the histological responses to Mycobacterium leprae. Many Langhans-type giant cells and epithelioid cell tubercles were observed, although M. leprae were not detected in leprosy periapical granulomas. Although numerou...

Abstract
Two rare cases of parotid gland tuberculosis are presented, which confirms the rising incidence of tuberculosis in Spain. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult, as the disease may be mistaken for a neoplastic process, and complementary tests, fine needle aspiration biopsy, CAT, analyses and chest X-ra...

Abstract
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy monitored with computed tomography was used for the diagnosis of vertebral tuberculosis in thirty-eight patients; the diagnosis was confirmed by culture or by a Ziehl-Neelsen stain of the smear in thirty-four of the patients. Cytological examination revealed collections...

Abstract
We performed fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of enlarged lymph nodes in 57 HIV-infected patients to evaluate its usefulness in this population. We observed three cytologic patterns in 21 patients diagnosed as having TL: granulomatous lymphadenitis (GL) in 4 FNABs, necrotizing granulomatous lymp...

Abstract
Multinucleated giant Langhans' cells were found in the granulomatas tissue in both breast carcinoma and metastatic axillary lymph node carcinoma. Electron microscopic examination showed "tubular" amyloid deposition intermingled with invasive carcinoma and granuloma. "Tubular amyloid" was characteris...

Abstract
The clinical features, radiological and therapeutic response of 46 cases of abdominal tuberculosis (AT) seen at a university hospital are presented. Diagnosis was anatomopathologic in 39 cases (85%) and clinical with response to tuberculostatic in 7 cases (15%). Most of the patients did not have his...

Long term (greater than 200 day) Brugia malayi-infected nude mice with grossly dilated lymphatics were reconstituted with 10(8) primed spleen cells from heterozygous donors. Histological and ultrastructural examination at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days post-reconstitution revealed progressive fibrosis, oblit...
