| granuloma telangiectaticum | Granuloma pyogenicum, an acquired small rounded mass of highly vascular granulation tissue, frequently with an ulcerated surface, projecting from the skin or mucosa; histologically, the mass resembles a capillary haemangioma. Synonym: granuloma telangiectaticum. (05 Mar 2000) |

| granuloma tropicum | <medicine> A disease, occurring in the Antilles and in Africa, characterised by yellowish or reddish tumours, of a contagious character, which, in shape and appearance, often resemble currants, strawberries, or raspberries. There are several varieties of this disease, variously known as framboesia, pian, verrugas, and crab-yaws. Origin: African yaw a raspberry. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| granuloma venereum | <disease, microbiology> A rare sexually transmitted disease that is caused by Calymmatobacterium granulomatis. This infection is more common in the tropical and subtropical areas such as India, Guyana and new Guinea. There are approximately 100 cases reported annually in the United States. Men are affected more often than women. It is thought to be most commonly acquired through anal intercourse. Symptoms include a small red nodule on the genitalia that may form elevated masses of reddened tissue (granulation tissue). The lesions gradual spread and destroy genital tissue. Diagnosis is via tissue biopsy or culture. Treatment includes antibiotics. (27 Sep 1997) |
| granuloma, fish bowl | Localised nodular skin inflammation (small reddish raised areas of skin) caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium marinum. Fish bowl granuloma is typically acquired by occupational or recreational exposure to salt or fresh water, often resulting from minor trauma during caring for aquariums. The diagnosis is suggested by the history of exposure and confirmed by culturing tissue specimens which yield the microscopic organism, mycobacterium marinum. The infection can be treated with a variety of antibiotics, including doxycycline, minocycline, clarithromycin, rifampin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Also called swimming pool granuloma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granuloma, foreign-body | Histiocytic, inflammatory response to a foreign body. It consists of modified macrophages with multinucleated giant cells, in this case foreign-body giant cells (giant cells, foreign-b0dy), usually surrounded by lymphocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granuloma, laryngeal | A polypoid granulomatous projection into the lumen of the larynx. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granuloma, lethal midline | A non-neoplastic disease of unknown aetiology beginning with inflammation, ulceration, and perforation of nose and palate and progressing to gradual destruction of midline facial structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granuloma, plasma cell | A slow-growing benign pseudotumour in which plasma cells greatly outnumber the inflammatory cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granuloma, plasma cell, orbital | A distinctive, chronic inflammatory reaction in the orbital tissues of the eye, of unknown aetiology, that may closely resemble a neoplasm and often becomes bilateral. Symptoms include exophthalmos and congestion of the lids with oedema. When limitation of ocular motility also occurs, it is sometimes called orbital myositis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granuloma, plasma cell, pulmonary | A pseudotumour of the lung composed of inflammatory cells and showing complete maturity of fibroblastic components with a striking lack of mitosis. It is also called postinflammatory pseudotumour and pseudoneoplastic pneumonitis. (berardi, r.s. Et al. Inflammatory pseudotumours of the lung. Surg gynecol obstet 156:89-96, jan 83) (12 Dec 1998) |
| granuloma, pyogenic | A usually solitary polypoid capillary haemangioma of the skin and gingival or oral mucosa, often associated with trauma or local irritation, representing a vasoproliferative inflammatory response. It presents as a small erythematous papule that enlarges and may become pedunculated and may become infected and ulcerate with accompanying purulent exudate. The haemangioma without suppuration is called angiogranuloma. Pyogenic granuloma is not a granuloma: the name refers to the mass of inflamed, highly vascular granulation tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granuloma, respiratory tract | Granulomatous diseases affecting one or more sites in the respiratory tract. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granuloma, swimming pool | Localised nodular skin inflammation (small reddish raised areas of skin) caused by a bacterium called mycobacterium marinum.
