Dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid (HA) have been widely used in recent years as a less surgically invasive cosmetic treatment. Although delayed foreign body granuloma may occur as a rare adverse reaction after the procedure, detailed histological reports are still limited. When occurring on the buccal mucosa of the oral cavity, the histopathology may resemble some lesions of minor salivary gland origin due to the material properties of HA.

Rheumatoid meningitis (RM) presents with sufficiently wide-ranging, but non-specific, symptoms and neuroimaging features of pachy- and/or leptomeningeal thickening that it may be indistinguishable from subacute infectious meningitis. RA diagnosis variably antedates RM and serological confirmation by rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies may not be present preoperatively. Thus, meningeal biopsy may be undertaken.

Deep juvenile xanthogranuloma invading the left tensor fasciae latae muscle: a case report and a literature review.

J Clin Exp Hematop

Article Synopsis
  • Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a rare benign condition primarily affecting neonates and young children, often presenting as skin lesions, but intramuscular JXG is much less common, accounting for only 0.6% of cases.
  • A case involving a 5-month-old girl showed a slow-growing lump in her left thigh, which was diagnosed as deep JXG after imaging, biopsy, and surgical resection.
  • Histological findings revealed characteristics typical of JXG, and despite initial concerns about tumor margins, the patient has shown no signs of recurrence over 48 months post-surgery, highlighting the importance of proper diagnosis and monitoring.

Nodular syphilis with a granulomatous inflammatory histopathologic pattern is an uncommon cutaneous presentation of secondary syphilis which could pose a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and pathologists alike. A 33-year-old male diagnosed with HIV presented with a 5-week history of asymptomatic generalized erythematous papules and nodules with overlying scales, with involvement of the palms and soles. Histopathologic examination of a nodule from the forearm revealed non-caseating granulomas in a background of a mixed cell inflammatory infiltrate composed of lymphocytes, epithelioid and foamy histiocytes, plasma cells, neutrophils, and multinucleated giant cells.
