| ulcerating granuloma of pudenda | <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) |

| zirconium granuloma | Granuloma from zirconium salts, usually occurring in the axillae, from antiperspirants containing this material; may also be caused by intradermal injection of antigens containing the lactate salt. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fish bowl granuloma | 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) |
| foreign body granuloma | A granuloma caused by the presence of foreign particulate material in tissue, characterised by a histiocytic reaction with foreign body giant cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngeal granuloma | A polypoid granulomatous projection of granulomatous tissue into the lumen of the larynx, commonly following a traumatic tracheal intubation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lethal midline granuloma | Destruction of the nasal septum, hard palate, lateral nasal walls, paranasal sinuses, skin of the face, orbit and nasopharynx by an inflammatory infiltrate with atypical lymphocytic and histiocytic cells; presumably a form of lymphoma in most cases. An obsolete term for polymorphic reticulosis. Synonym: granuloma gangrenescens, malignant granuloma, midline malignant reticulosis granuloma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipoid granuloma | Granuloma characterised by aggregates or accumulations of fairly large mononuclear phagocytes that contain lipid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lipophagic granuloma | A lesion formed as a result of the inflammatory reaction provoked by foci of necrosis in subcutaneous fat, as in certain types of traumatic injury; the central focus of necrotic material is surrounded by an irregular zone of numerous macrophages, many of which become laden with tiny globules of lipid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| T-cell-rich, B-cell lymphoma | <tumour> A B-cell lymphoma in which more than 90% of the cells are of T-cell origin, masking the large cells that form the neoplastic B-cell component. See: adult T-cell lymphoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ala central lobule | The lateral winglike projection of the central lobule of the cerebellum. Synonym: ala lobuli centralis, ala cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterolateral central arteries | Numerous small branches from the sphenoidal part of the middle cerebral arteries supplying the lateral and anterior parts of the corpus striatum. Synonym: arteriae centrales anterolaterales, arteriae thalamostriatae anterolaterales, anterolateral central arteries, anterolateral striate arteries, anterolateral thalamostriate arteries, arteries of cerebral haemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteromedial central arteries | Several small branches of the precommunical part of the anterior cerebral artery; they are distributed to the anteromedial part of the corpus striatum part of the thalamus. Synonym: arteriae centrales anteromediales, arteriae thalamostriatae anteromediales, anteromedial thalamostriate arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anteromedial central branches | Branches of the anterior communicating artery which supply part of the hypothalamus. Synonym: rami centrales anteromediales. (05 Mar 2000) |
