1/19. Cavernous haemangioma of the submandibular salivary gland.Salivary gland haemangioma is more common in the parotid than in any other salivary gland. Parotid haemangioma is considered to be the most common salivary gland tumour in infants, but is also occasionally encountered in adults. A case of cavernous haemangioma affecting the submandibular salivary gland in an adult woman is presented. The striking histological feature is the presence of numerous vascular channels assuming a periductal arrangement.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/19. Simultaneous occurrence of lymphoepithelial cysts, cytomegalovirus and mycobacterial infections in the intraparotid lymph nodes of a patient with AIDS.We report the unusual simultaneous occurrence of lymphoepithelial cysts, cytomegalovirus (CMV) and mycobacterial infections in the intraparotid lymph nodes of a 52-year-old AIDS patient who died of disseminated mycobacteriosis. Although cytomegalovirosis is a common finding in the salivary glands of hiv patients, the association of CMV inclusions with lymphoepithelial cyst (LC) has not been previously reported. Parotid mycobacterial infection is an uncommon finding, despite its usual disseminated presentation in hiv patients. These data emphasize that in immunosuppressed patients, simultaneous diseases of the parotid gland may occur and should be considered for diagnosis and treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/19. The supratrochlear lymph nodes: their diagnostic significance in a swollen elbow joint.In the differential diagnosis of a swollen elbow, the palpation of the supratrochlear glands is useful. They are not enlarged in a traumatic elbow joint. They are enlarged, discrete and shotty in rheumatoid arthritis. In tuberculosis, they are enlarged, matted and they may caseate and form a cold abscess on the medial aspect of the supratrochlear region of the arm.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.125keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |

5/19. Hypercalcemic encephalopathy in a patient on anti-TB treatment for glandular tuberculosis.An 84 years old male patient presented with hypercalcemic encephalopathy and mild azotemia while on anti-tuberculous treatment for glandular tuberculosis. He recovered fully during treatment with hydration, intravenous frusemide and oral prednisolone while continuing on the antituberculous therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.625keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/19. A case of tuberculous granuloma at the supra-sternal notch that was difficult to differentiate from a thyroid tumor.BACKGROUND: Despite a decline after world war ii, the rate of tuberculosis remains higher in japan than in other countries. We report a case of tuberculous granuloma at the supra-sternal notch that was difficult to differentiate from a thyroid tumor. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 75-year-old Japanese woman who was referred to our hospital for further investigations and treatment of an anterior neck tumor, that was diagnosed as a suspected of thyroid malignancy by another institute. The thyroid function and biological data were normal except for an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Imaging studies showed a mass at the supra-sternal notch, and the border between the tumor and the thyroid gland was indistinct. The tuberculosis bacillus group was identified by fine needle aspiration cytology. The patient was treated surgically for tuberculous granuloma, and histopathological findings revealed that the lymph node tuberuculosis had invaded the thyroid gland. We started anti-tuberculous therapy after the operation. The post-operative course was uneventful with good wound healing. CONCLUSIONS: When a markedly elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and c-reactive protein value are associated with an anterior neck mass, tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of thyroid swelling. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a rapid, simple and effective diagnostic method for extra-pulmonary tuberculous lesions involving the neck. When there is abscess formation or features of compression, or if the mass cannot be differentiated from a thyroid tumor, combined therapy involving anti-tuberculous agents and surgery must be considered.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.25keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/19. Axillary gland involvement in breast carcinomas is not always metastatic: a case report.We describe an unusual case of coexistence of carcinoma in the breast and an ipsilateral enlargement of axillary lymph nodes caused by tuberculosis. Accurate diagnosis has helped us in down staging the carcinoma in the breast and also identifying curable disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.5keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/19. Submandibular tuberculous lymphadenitis after endodontic treatment of the mandibular first premolar tooth: report of a case.Cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis (scrofula) is an infectious granulomatous disease that requires a precise diagnosis. The differential diagnosis involves mainly the pathologic conditions involving the regional lymph nodes and the submandibulary salivary glands. Although tuberculous lesions generally develop secondary to pulmonary disease, clinical manifestations are occasionally seen with no evidence of involvement of the lungs. In this report, a case of tuberculous submandibular lymphadenitis developing after endodontic treatment of the mandibular first premolar tooth is described.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.125keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/19. tuberculosis of the parotid gland: a case report.A case of tuberculosis of the parotid gland, which involved the intraparotid lymph nodes of a 39-year-old Thai man is reported. The histologic characteristics of caseating granulomas with presence of acid and alcohol fast bacilli were criteria for diagnosis. This case is thought to be the first report of tuberculosis of the parotid gland in thailand.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.75keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/19. tuberculosis of a periglandular lymphnode presenting as a parotid tumor.The presentation of tuberculosis as isolated cervical adenopathy is not a common entity. The presentation of this disease as a parotid mass has rarely been reported. In most instances, direct parenchymal involvement exists, although involvement of intraglandular lymphnodes has also been reported. In most cases, an initial misdiagnosis of a parotid tumor, usually a pleomorphic adenoma, was made. We report a case of a 57-year-old patient with a left parotid mass of two years' duration. The patient was referred because of the development of firm, nontender, ipsilateral cervical adenopathy, suggesting possible malignancy. The course of the disease, diagnosis, and treatment are reported. The relevant literature is reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.625keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
