The term inflammatory pseudotumor has previously been used to classify plasma cell granulomas. However, this term has become more uncommon in recent years due to its lack of specificity. [ 3 ] Today, scientist use more up to date diagnostic and medical terminology to avoid classifying lesions in the same group that are likely to have different ...
Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma is characterized by localized changes in lung architecture determined by deposition of hyaline collagenous fibrosis accompanied by sparse lymphocytic infiltrate that compresses and distorts the remaining bronchioles. A higher magnification, the mass is composed by hypocellular collagen lamellae. [3]
The xanthogranulomatous type of inflammation is most-commonly seen in pyelonephritis and cholecystitis, although it has more recently been described in an array of other locations including bronchi, lung, endometrium, vagina, fallopian tubes, ovary, testis, epididymis, stomach, colon, ileum, pancreas, bone, lymph nodes, bladder, adrenal gland ...
Examples of this use of the term granuloma are the lesions known as vocal cord granuloma (known as contact granuloma), pyogenic granuloma, and intubation granuloma, all of which are examples of granulation tissue, not granulomas. "Pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma" is a lesion characterized by keloid-like fibrosis in the lung and is not ...
Granulomatous–lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) is a lung complication of common variable immunodeficiency disorders (CVID). It is seen in approximately 15% of patients with CVID. [ 1 ] It has been defined histologically as the presence of (non-caseating) granuloma and lymphoproliferation in the lung. [ 1 ]
On rare occasions, a thoracoscopic lung biopsy is required. On histopathological examination, a biopsy will show leukocytoclastic vasculitis with necrotic changes and granulomatous inflammation (clumps of typically arranged white blood cells) on microscopy. These granulomas are the main reason for the name granulomatosis with polyangiitis ...
The inflammatory process that creates these cells often leads to a foreign body granuloma. The human body goes through several steps when exposed to foreign biomaterial including acute and chronic inflammation , and formation of new tissue and a fibrous capsule along the surface of the implantation.

Touton giant cells are often frequently observed in granulomatous inflammation, which is a type of inflammation caused by the clustering of immune cells, or granulomas. [1] They are also found in dermatofibroma . [ 2 ]
