I have pulmonary granuloma in the right lung as the result of my present x-ray? What does it mean?

---

Am I unfit for work? Do I need to consult specialist? Who I can go- pulmonologist or lung specialist? I have PTB history. It was curable last 2002.
Working as a specialist is absolutely a cherished calling  (+ info)

How are they going to get rid of Pyrogenic Granuloma?

---

I got a referral on Friday, but it's growing bigger, and i'm afraid it's going to pop and start bleeding soon. It's not that big now, but in a couple of weeks it's going to be.

1.) How fast will they treat it from the first visit?
2.) How do they treat it?
3.) Is it uncomfortable/hurts?
4.) Will there be a mark after?
5.) How did I get it?
6.) How do I prevent getting it again?
W.....t.....f?

How is a cyst different from a granuloma?

---

how is a cyst different from a granuloma?
ie. radicular cyst and periapical granuloma
Boy its been a long time since Oral Pathology

I know one when I see one most of the time.

A cyst, I think has epithelial tissue surrounding something, either a dead space or other mass. A granuloma lacks a well defined epithelial layer.

good luck in Dental School  (+ info)

How does Calcified Granuloma occur in our Lungs?

---

I had undergo an apico-lordotic view of chest x-ray and findings says that I had this. But 5 weeks ago I went first for a PA x-ray and says that my lungs is clear. How would it be possible that in this 5 weeks it will appear like that?
These are two different X-rays. The PA X-ray is just a regular X-ray that pictures in with beams passing from back-to-front. With an apico-lordotic view, however, is taken from a different angle.

This may explain, why your Doctor did not see the granuloma the first time. The apico-lordotic view is usually the best for discovering hidden lesions.

Hope this answers your question!  (+ info)

what are the chances of a granuloma in the lung turning into cancer?

---

i have one that has been there for 9 ys...i found out about it after i had had it for 5 yrs...now i have another one...i had a chest x-ray 2 months ago and it wasn't there and i had another one today and it is there in my left lung...the first one is in the right....i am really scared and want to know the statics for these turning into lung cancer...they said it is a calcified granuloma..
The odds are close to zero. Granulomas are similar to a scar that is caused by an injury to the lung from an infection or some type of particle you breathed in. If a granuloma is calcified, then its almost impossible for it to become cancerous. Calcified granulomas are usually caused by a previous fungal infection in the lungs (histoplasmosis).  (+ info)

How long does it take to heal skin when it has been stitched after a granuloma has been removed?

---

It is healing but it is now about 8 weeks or so and it is still not healing but i have checked it and it is getting smaller though so i suppose it will take as long as it takes.

Thankyou for your answers.
Every person heals differently then another. A lot depends on your age and over all health. If it is getting smaller and the wound is not bleeding it is healing. Give your body time to work this out!!  (+ info)

How do you get rid of a recurring Pyogenic Granuloma that has caused Osteomylitis and amputation of a big toe?

Skin grafts have been attempted as has numerous excisions. Osteomylitis of the bones in the great toe resulted in amputation of the toe.
Wound flap failed and wound has taken 4 months to heal, now is beginning to over granulate again.
No history of diabetes or any other such.

Suggestions or advice appreciated
Have you tried a polyurethane foam dressing?


Harris and Rolstad report the findings of a small clinical trial of a polyurethane foam to treat over granulation:
“Although there is very little in the literature regarding hypergranulation tissue, the fact that there are numerous treatments by various wound clinicians demonstrates the recognition of its presence as a clinical problem. The paucity of published information prompted the authors to design a study to collect objective data on a treatment method they had found useful in their practices. This article explores the issue of hypergranulation and offers a nontraumatic method of management. A prospective non-controlled correlational study was undertaken with ten patients and twelve wounds using a polyurethane foam dressing to reduce hypergranulation tissue. The results demonstrated a significant decrease in height of 2 mm of granulation tissue from initial measurements to measurements taken two weeks later."  (+ info)

just had pyogenic granuloma cut off my face - how to prevent another one ?

---

Started off as a mosquito bite (though I'm in UK) - turned into a pyogenic granuloma - after three months with the thing bleeding and refusing to heal, just had it cut off - next time I get bitten, is there anything I can do to stop a bit turning into something weird?
Any advice much appreciated.
Pyogenic granuloma is a fleshy, moist or crusty, usually scarlet vascular nodule composed of proliferating capillaries in an edematous stroma.
Most pyogenic granulomas can be removed, but scarring may appear after treatment. Recurrences at the same site are not infrequent.  (+ info)

Does any one have advise on skin therapy and treatment for Erythema Annulare Centrifiguum?

---

I would use Luxiq, Eucerin, and Sarna. I'd like to avoid Luxiq as much as possible, I was wondering if you have any alternative, natural treatments during flare-ups.
No treatment is usually needed as they usually go away anywhere from months to years. The lesions may last from anywhere between 4 weeks to 34 years with an average duration of 11 months. If there is an underlying disease then by treating and removing the disease it will stop the lesions. It usually doesn't require treatment, but topical corticosteroids may be helpful[6] in reducing redness, swelling and itchiness.

Some supported and not supported methods of having an effect on EAC include:

Photosensitive so it can be moved/reduced with appropriate sunlight (beware as it easy to have too much sunlight and cause sunburn).
Vitamin D
Immune system - hence it will increase in size/number when the immune system is low or overloaded.
Hormone Drugs
Disulone
Topical calcipotriol - a topical vitamin D derivative has been known to be beneficial  (+ info)
