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.

In this population, a biopsy of the gastrocnemius muscle is a useful tool in correctly diagnosing the person. The presence of a noncaseating epithelioid granuloma in a gastrocnemius specimen is definitive evidence of sarcoidosis, as other tuberculoid and fungal diseases extremely rarely present histologically in this muscle.

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
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 ...
Key tissue changes include granulomas, which may be caseating, confluent, or large. A positive smear test for acid-fast bacillus and imaging that detects necrotic lymph nodes are also important indicators of the disease. [1] Ischemic colitis is also a possible alternative diagnosis to Crohn's disease. It often shows swelling and redness of the ...
The acute form can be characterized by poorly formed noncaseating interstitial granulomas and mononuclear cell infiltration in a peribronchial distribution with prominent giant cells. [1] The subacute, or intermittent, form produces more well-formed noncaseating granulomas, bronchiolitis with or without organizing pneumonia , and interstitial ...
Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown cause that results in the formation of non-caseating granulomas in multiple organs. The prevalence is higher among black males than white males by a ratio of 20:1.
If non caseating granulomas are found (four to six weeks later), the test is positive. If the patient has been on treatment (e.g., glucocorticoids), the test may return a false negative result. The test is not commonly performed, and in the UK no substrate has been available since 1996.
