Histopathology of IPMN types in a distal pancreatectomy specimen from a 60-year-old man, by gross pathology (center image), microscopy and immunohistochemistry: The resected specimen (c) revealed that the mural nodule in the MPD consisted of PB-type IPMN with high-grade dysplasia (adenocarcinoma) (a) with a diffuse positivity of p53 immunostaining (an insert) and KRAS mutation (G12V).
Caplan syndrome presents with cough and shortness of breath in conjunction with features of rheumatoid arthritis, such as painful joints and morning stiffness. Examination should reveal tender, swollen metacarpophalangeal joints and rheumatoid nodules; auscultation of the chest may reveal diffuse crackles that do not disappear on coughing or taking a deep breath.
This article provides a list of autoimmune diseases. These conditions, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, affect a range of organs and systems within the body. Each disorder is listed with the primary organ or body part that it affects and the associated autoantibodies that are typically found in people diagnosed ...
Nodule: A nodule is morphologically similar to a papule in that it is also a palpable spherical lesion less than 10 mm in diameter. However, it is differentiated by being centered deeper in the dermis or subcutis. Tumor: Similar to a nodule, but it is larger than 10 mm in diameter. [citation needed]
Multiple nodules Likely ultrasonography Solitary nodule in person younger than 35 years old Likely ultrasonography if at least 1 cm large in adults, or for any size in children. None needed if less than 1 cm in adults; Solitary nodule in person at least 35 years old Likely ultrasonography if at least 1.5 cm large; None needed if less than 1.5 cm
Intubation granuloma is a benign growth of granulation tissue in the larynx or trachea, which arises from tissue trauma due to endotracheal intubation. [1] This medical condition is described as a common late complication of tracheal intubation, specifically caused by irritation to the mucosal tissue of the airway during insertion or removal of the patient's intubation tube.
According to University of Pennsylvania history professor Kathleen Brown, “she was often depicted by cartoonists as Satan for her free love views.” Her presidential bid may have been unsuccessful, but she got the ball rolling for other women seeking to make change at the highest levels of government.
Nodules are discrete, generally symmetric, hyperpigmented and firm. They are greater than 0.5 cm in both width and depth (as opposed to papules which are less than 0.5 cm). The nodules of PN can appear on any part of the body, but generally are found in areas where patients are able to reach to scratch.
