Granuloma; Picture of a granuloma (without necrosis) as seen through a microscope on a glass slide: The tissue on the slide is stained with two standard dyes (hematoxylin: blue, eosin: pink) to make it visible. The granuloma in this picture was found in a lymph node of a patient with a Mycobacterium avium infection. Specialty: Pathology
Sarcoidosis is characterized by the formation of non-necrotizing ("non-caseating") granulomas in various organs and tissues. [95] Giant cells, specifically Langhans giant cells, are often seen in sarcoidosis. [96] Schaumann bodies seen in sarcoidosis are calcium and protein inclusions inside of giant cells as part of a granuloma. [97]
It has been defined histologically as the presence of (non-caseating) granuloma and lymphoproliferation in the lung. [1] However, as GLILD is often associated with other auto-immune features such as splenomegaly , adenopathy and cytopenias , a definition based on abnormalities on lung imaging (CT scan) together with evidence of granulomatous ...
Caseous necrosis in the kidney. In caseous necrosis no histological architecture is preserved (unlike with coagulative necrosis). [5] [6] On microscopic examination with H&E staining, the area is acellular, characterised by amorphous, roughly granular eosinophilic debris of now dead cells, [6] also containing interspearsed haematoxyphilic remnants of cell nucleus contents. [5]
They may appear as either non-caseating or solidly caseating lesions. [20] Initially, tuberculomas appear hypodense on computed tomography (CT) scans with significant surrounding edema. [ 23 ] [ 3 ] The "target sign" is pathognomonic for tuberculoma on CT, with a nodular ring-enhancing mass and central calcification.
The more precise terminology is "non-necrotizing" or "necrotizing rather than "non-caseous or "caseous," as Yale Rosen, M.D. explained: "The use of the terms "caseating" and "non-caseating" to describe the microscopic appearance of granulomas, although prevalent, is inappropriate since the term "caseous" applies only to the grossly visible ...
Chronic exposure to beryllium can be histologically characterised by non-caseating granulomas—structures formed in certain infectious and toxin-mediated diseases in which tissue resident macrophages build a wall around the threat, thus nullifying it. Because of this, beryllium associated granulomas are occasionally responsive to steroids and ...
Granulomatous form – invasive hyphae invades tissue with inflammation and non-caseating granuloma (with foreign bodies). [4] Saprophytic infection – growth of fungus seen on mucous crusts within sinus cavity. [4] Sinus fungal ball – sequestration of fungal hyphae as densely tangled, and has gritty matted appearance. [4]
