Purpose. To report a case of transient lymphoid hyperplasia presenting as bilateral nodular scleral mass in a young male patient.Design. Observational case report.Methods. Chart review. Causes of scleritis were considered and excluded based on detailed history, physical examination, and laboratory investigations.Results. Excisional biopsy of scleral lesions indicated lymphoid tissue. Immunohistochemical studies revealed a polyclonal population of T and B cells consistent with a benign reactive process.Conclusions. Chronic exposure of the ocular adnexa to many allergens and irritants may lead to activation of the inflammatory cascade. In severely allergic patients activation may be exponential and elicit an immune-mediated response resulting in a transient lymphoid reactive process.

Aim: To describe the case of rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder — pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia in the patient with previous pulmonary tuberculosis. Materials and Methods: In the case of pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia clinical, laboratory, instrumental and morphological examination was performed. Results: 44-year-old woman in 7 years after successfully treated infiltrative drug-susceptible tuberculosis of the right lung, was hospitalized with a suspected tumor of the left lung root. The patient underwent left-sided pneumonectomy with lymph nodes dissection. The results of histopathological and immunohistochemical studies evidenced on nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the left lung. Conclusion: Pulmonary nodular lymphoid hyperplasia is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of the lung with favorable prognosis. For the purpose of differential diagnosis, it is necessary to apply immunohistochemistry.

Carcinoma Of The Tongue

Abstract Lymphoid hyperplasia of the tongue is a very rare benign lymphoproliferative lesion that closely resembles carcinoma or lymphoma, clinically or histopathologically. A case of benign lymphoid hyperplasia (BLH) of the tongue is reported. Clinically this lesion presented as a painless ulcer, which mimicked carcinoma of the tongue. Microscopy showed typical histologic features of multiple germinal centers with a rim of small mature lymphocytes together with a mixed, mainly mononuclear infiltrate which clinched the diagnosis of benign lymphoid hyperplasia. This diagnosis averted extensive investigations and major surgery. The etiology of these lesions is unknown. Their distinction from carcinoma and lymphoma is discussed.

Background: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic, inflammatory disease that significantly impairs both physical and emotional aspects of an individual's quality of life. Vitiligo leads to depigmentation of skin, in which some or all melanocytes in the interfollicular epidermis and occasionally those in the hair follicles are selectively destroyed. The coexistence of the two disorders is rarely seen. Objective: To report two cases of the rare coexistence of psoriasis and vitiligo in a family. Methods: After providing informed written consent, both patients were given alefacept 15 mg/kg weekly injections for 12 weeks. The patients were monitored both clinically and with all relevant laboratory investigations. These patients were then followed up once a month for 2 years. Results: Treatment with alefacept led to complete clearance of vitiligo along with the expected improvement in psoriasis. In the 2-year follow-up, vitiligo did not recur, although psoriasis relapsed and was appropriately treated. Conclusion: Use of alefacept in vitiligo may turn out to be a possible novel off-label treatment option in vitiligo. But the results need to be reproduced in larger studies
