Granulomatous Lesions in Head and Neck Region: A Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
Granulomatous diseases have plagued humans for million years, with evidence of tuberculosis infection in Egyptians mummies and description of syphilis has also been said to have been described by Hippocrates and was recognized as a veneral disease in the fifteenth century. The advent of modern pathology with improved microscopic staining techniques & communication between researches spawned this new category of granulomatous diseases in early twentieth century. Recognition of the granulomatous pattern in a biopsy specimen is important because of the limited number of possible conditions that cause it and the significance of the diagnosis associated with lesion i.e. for specific treatment and outcome of the disease.
