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.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare systemic necrotizing vasculitis marked by eosinophilia and extravascular granulomas, predominantly affecting the respiratory tract. This report details a unique EGPA case in a 6-year-old girl with extensive cardiac involvement, featuring an atypical intracardiac mass suggestive of endomyocardial fibrosis and a concomitant thrombus. The clinical course unfolded in three phases: an initial prodrome with asthma; subsequent peripheral hypereosinophilia; and ultimately systemic vasculitis.

Autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare lung condition characterized by the accumulation of surfactant proteins within the alveoli, leading to respiratory distress. We describe a 49-year-old female homemaker with a history of passive smoking and exposure to wood smoke and pigeon droppings. She presented with a dry cough and progressive dyspnea, experiencing significant deterioration in her condition over one year.

Although adipose stem cell (ASC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are as effective as ASCs in the suppression of Th2 cell-mediated eosinophilic inflammation, the role of identified pulmonary genes has not been well documented. Thus, we assessed the immunomodulatory effects of paraoxonase-1 (PON1) on allergic airway inflammation in a mouse model of asthma. Five-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA) by intraperitoneal injection and challenged intranasally with OVA.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a disease with marked elevation of blood eosinophil associated with various symptoms in the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, peripheral nerves, and skin due to systemic vasculitis. Here, we report a case of EGPA in which rhinosinusitis was treated with endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) with good results. A 49-year-old man who developed bronchial asthma at age 48 was diagnosed with EGPA in our hospital.
