Background: In previous studies, intraocular proliferative tissues obtained from proliferative sarcoid retinopathy cases during vitrectomy have been examined histopathologically. However, there is no report of identification of sarcoid nodules in examined tissues. We performed vitrectomy for a case of proliferative sarcoid retinopathy with extensive proliferative changes. Histopathologically, sarcoid nodules were identified in the fibrovascular membranes.Case: A 25-year-old man was treated for sarcoid uveitis in the right eye by his local ophthalmologist. Lens aspiration was performed for complicated cataract. He was referred to our hospital with vitreous opacity and traction retinal detachment which occurred after the surgery.Findings: The vitreous opacity was so severe that details of the fundus were not visible. Traction retinal detachment was suspected from findings of B-mode echography. Vitrectomy was performed, and total retinal detachment due to contraction of the fibrovascular membrane around the optic disc and posterior pole was observed. Sarcoid nodules were identified histopathologically in fibrovascular membranes obtained during vitrectomy.Conclusion: In proliferative sarcoid retinopathy cases, sarcoid lesions may be one of the causes of fibrovascular membrane formation.

A diverse spectrum of pathologically distinct, nonneoplastic, proliferative conditions of the kidneys and urinary tract demonstrate a expansile growth pattern similar to that of neoplasms. The renal pseudotumors include myriad causes of infections as well as rare noninfectious causes such as sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, and immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Rare entities such as cystitis cystica, endometriosis, nephrogenic adenoma, and pseudosarcomatous myofibroblastic proliferation and distinct types of prostatitis comprise tumefactive nontumorous disorders that affect specific segments of the urinary tract.

Introduction: Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is a clinico-radiological entity characterized by a thickening of the dura mater that may be focal or diffuse and manifested by a variety of neurological syndromes. Aetiologically, it is classified as infectious, neoplastic, autoimmune, and idiopathic. Many of these formerly idiopathic cases have been shown to fall into the spectrum of IgG4-related disease.

Sarcoids are among the most common tumors diagnosed in equids; their association with bovine papillomaviruses (BPV) infection has been widely reported, but the mechanism of carcinogenesis has not been fully elucidated. To verify whether BPV infection causes dysregulation of the pRb-Cyclin D1-p16-p53 pathway as reported for human papillomavirus (HPV), the study employed immunohistochemistry to test 55 equine sarcoid biopsies for the expression of pRb, Cyclin D1, and p53 cell cycle regulatory proteins and to evaluate the proliferative rate through Ki67. High Cyclin D1 and pRb expression were observed in 51% and 80% of cases, respectively, while low expression was observed in 49% and 20% of cases, respectively.
