Nodular Fasciitis - Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention Nodular fasciitis is a benign, reactive proliferation of fibroblasts in the subcutaneous tissues and commonly associated with the deep fascia. Nodular fasciitis is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in the subcutaneous tissues. Nodular fasciitis is one such benign fibroblastic proliferation whose rapid growth and rich cellularity frequently cause the lesion to be misdiagnosed as sarcoma. www.healthscout.com /ency/1/425/main.html   (500 words)

Nodular Goiter In areas of iodine deficiency, the prevalence of goiter, both diffuse and nodular, is much higher, approaching 90 percent, although with supplemental iodine, this number is dramatically reduced. Diffuse thyroid enlargement or simple goiter develops first and progresses to nodular goiter. Nodular goiter is caused by environmental factors, including iodine containing drugs such as amiodarone, and drugs that interfere with iodine uptake such as lithium, resorcinol, and sulfa compounds. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/graves_disease/91606   (426 words)

Nodular Acne..........AcneWay.com Nodular acne mainly consists of pimples that are much bigger--even bigger than papules(measuring the size of pencil erasers)--and may be painful, lasting for months. Sufferers often resort to Accutane for treating nodular acne which can't be effectively treated with other treatments and antibiotics. Patients have shown improvement when treating nodular acne as sebum secretion diminishes. www.acneway.com /nodular_acne.html   (296 words)

Colloid nodular goiter Colloid nodular goiter is thyroid gland enlargement that is usually caused by too little iodine in the diet. Colloid nodular goiters are also known as endemic goiters and are usually caused by inadequate iodine in diet. As a result, the incidence of colloid nodular goiters is now rare in the U.S. Risk factors are being female, being older than 40, having an inadequate dietary intake of iodine, living in an endemic area, and having a family history of goiters. www.stv.org /adam/encyclopedia/ency/article/000383.htm   (336 words)

Nodular Fasciitis Nodular fasciitis is an unusual benign reactive process of the soft tissues related to the fascia and characterized by fibroblastic proliferation. Nodular fasciitis, an uncommon pseudosarcomatous lesion of soft tissue, rarely occurs in the hand and, because of this, is not often considered in the differential diagnosis of hand masses. Nodular fasciitis is a benign myofibroblastic proliferation with a predilection for the subcutaneous tissues of the upper extremities, trunk, and head and neck of young adults. www.thedoctorsdoctor.com /diseases/nodular_fasciitis.htm   (2473 words)

Nodular secondary syphilis Syphilis is an infectious disease caused by Treponema pallidum (ssp.pallidum), a microaerophilic spirochete that is pathogenic only to humans.[1] Clinically, it is characterized by the primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary stages and continues to be a formidable opponent to the clinician. Over 95 percent of the eruptions are macular, maculopapular, or papular lesions that may evolve to become annular, papulosquamous, lenticular, corymbose, or a mixture of these.[1] Nodular and pustular eruptions occur infrequently.[1,2] Mucous membrane lesions are extremely infectious and include condyloma lata, mucous patches and pharyngitis. Nodular syphilis is an uncommon manifestation of secondary syphilis and may go unrecognized. dermatology.cdlib.org /91/case_reports/syphilis/thappa.html   (963 words)

CIGNA - Panniculitis, Idiopathic Nodular Idiopathic nodular panniculitis is a rare spectrum of skin disorders characterized by single or multiple, tender or painful bumps below the surface of the skin (subcutaneous nodules) that usually lead to inflammation of the subcutaneous layer of fat (panniculitis). The exact cause of idiopathic nodular panniculitis is unknown. Affected individuals should receive a thorough clinical examination to determine whether the idiopathic nodular panniculitis is actually occurring secondary to another condition, as treatment of that primary condition may alleviate the symptoms of idiopathic nodular panniculitis. www.cigna.com /healthinfo/nord297.html   (1513 words)

With thoracolumbar syndrome, the skin and subcutaneous tissues at the gluteal and iliac crest regions are hypersensitive, as noted with "skin rolling."

Pulmonary nodular amyloidosis has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of solitary lung lesions. During Video-assisted Thoracoscopy (VATS) under general anaesthesia, a solitary hard nodular mass in the anterior segment of the left upper lobe of lung was identified and excised completely. Pulmonary Amyloidosis of the nodular variety (PNA) should be considered and excluded in the differential diagnosis of solitary lung lesions suggestive of primary and secondary lung neoplasms and the case described here underscores the importance of histological confirmation in such cases. www.calicutmedicaljournal.org /2004/2/1/e5   (1273 words)

Last check: ) Nodular L & H Hodgkin' s disease or nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin's Disease NLPHD as it is known clinically, is an uncommon form of Hodgkin' s Disease (HD), accounting for approximately 5-7% of all cases of HD. The histology of nodular LPHD is quite characteristic and typically falls into the differential diagnosis of a macronodular infiltrate in a Iymph node. It is possible that nodular LPHD is a polyclonal Iymphoproliferative disorder in many cases, but out of this background a dominant clonal population may develop, giving rise to the clinical and histologic development of a DLCL of B-lineage. researchpath.hitchcock.org /socforheme/specialty/Spechem961.html   (1929 words)

Nodular Regeneration Hepatic nodular regeneration of the liver and spleen is a benign, usually insignificant finding that is relatively common in both dogs and cats. Sonographically animals with nodular regeneration will have a few to multiple, well defined, round hypoechoic or hyperechoic nodules seen scattered throughout the liver and / or spleen.

Primary Nodular Melanoma [PNM] Primary nodular melanomas are often ulcerative, thus bleeding, and tend to spread intralymphatically within the level of the skin at an early stage (note the satellite nodes surrounding the central tumor nodule). Primary nodular melanomas have an unfavorable prognosis due to their significant tumor volume. These hypomelanotic nodular variants are often referred to as "amelanotic" nodular melanomas, although they actually do contain melanin pigment. www.melresproj.com /clinic/pnm/e_pnm.htm   (273 words)
