The first known name for this condition was "serpiginous ulcer", which dates to 1882. [11] [12] The proper clinical designation for donovanosis is "granuloma inguinale". [5] A granuloma is a nodular type of inflammatory reaction, and inguinale refers to the inguinal region, which is commonly involved in this infection. The disease is commonly ...
Granuloma annulare is a skin disease of unknown cause in which granulomas are found in the dermis of the skin, but it is not a true granuloma. Typically, a central zone of necrobiotic generation of collagen is seen, with surrounding inflammation and mucin deposition on pathology.
Eosinophilic ulcer of the oral mucosa (eosinophilic ulcer of the tongue, Riga–Fede disease, traumatic eosinophilic granuloma) Eosinophilic ulcer of the oral mucosa; Eosinophilic vasculitis; Erythema toxicum neonatorum (erythema toxicum, toxic erythema of the newborn) Granuloma faciale; Hypereosinophilia; Hypereosinophilic syndrome
It is a form of granuloma. [2] Gummas are most commonly found in the liver (gumma hepatis), but can also be found in brain, heart, skin, bone, testis, and other tissues, leading to a variety of potential problems including neurological disorders or heart valve disease.
Ulcer: An ulcer is a discontinuity of the skin exhibiting complete loss of the epidermis and often portions of the dermis. [32] [33] Fissure is a lesion in the skin that is usually narrow but deep. [29] [33] Induration is dermal thickening causing the cutaneous surface to feel thicker and firmer. [29]
A pyogenic granuloma or lobular capillary hemangioma [3] is a vascular tumor that occurs on both mucosa and skin, and appears as an overgrowth of tissue due to irritation, physical trauma, or hormonal factors. [4] [5] It is often found to involve the gums, skin, or nasal septum, and has also been found far from the head, such as in the thigh. [6]
Skin ulcers appear as open craters, often round, with layers of skin that have eroded. The skin around the ulcer may be red, swollen, and tender. Patients may feel pain on the skin around the ulcer, and fluid may ooze from the ulcer. In some cases, ulcers can bleed and, rarely, patients experience fever. Ulcers sometimes seem not to heal ...
Generalized granuloma annulare is a chronic granulomatous dermatosis that typically affects young adults' distal extremities and manifests as annular grouped papules. [2] On the trunk and extremities, numerous flesh-colored papules arranged in an annular pattern are the hallmark of generalized granuloma annulare. These lesions are frequently ...
