The Blandin - Nuhn glands are a group of small mixed mucous and serous salivary glands situated on both sides of the midline of the ventral aspect of the tongue arranged as a horseshoe-shaped masses surrounded by lingual musculature. These glands are not encapsulated, each gland measures about 1-8mm wide, 12- 25mm deep and consist of several small independent glands. These glands drain by means of 5-6 small ducts which open near the lingual frenum.[7] Mucoceles of the glands of Blandin – Nuhn is rare. The first case of mucocele of glands of Blandin Nuhn was reported in 1970 by Heimansohn embedded within the musculature of the anterior tongue ventral surface [8] which is covered only by a thin mucous membrane. Mucoceles involving the glands of blandin–nuhn are often histologically diagnosed as being extravasation type and likely to occur in young patients. The differential diagnosis in the present …show more content…
Histopathologically, in the case of retention mucoceles, which are less frequent and seen particularly in elderly patients, a cyst cavity can be found. This is generally well defined with an epithelial wall covered with a row of cuboidal or squamous cells produced from the excretory duct of the salivary glands. Compared to extravasation mucoceles commonly found in individuals less than 30 years old and account for over 80% of all mucoceles, retention mucoceles show no inflammatory reaction and are true cysts with an epithelial covering. Extravasation mucoceles are pseudocysts without defined walls. The extravasated mucous is surrounded by a layer of inflammatory cells and then by a reactive granulation tissue made up of fibroblasts caused by an immune reaction. In the present study microscopic appearance of lesion reveals connective tissue stroma consisting of areas of mucous pooling, salivary acini, salivary gland ducts, inflammatory cells and blood
A second lesion measuring 25cm in size in the left lower lobe was noted and a prevascular mass measuring almost 5cm, likely to be an enlarged lymph node was als noted. A PET scan has confirmed intense avidity of the left upper lobe and prevascular lesions with likely central
A lesion is an open wound that is red and can easily become infected. People usually cover their lesions with an adhesive bandage to help it heal. But in this society, lesions are good to have, people want lesions. Especially Quendy. In fact, she gets jealous of Calista’s lesions because they are getting Links attention, so she gets artificial lesions on her body to make him want her: “-because her whole skin was cut up with artificial lesions.

Signs and Symptoms SJS is characterized by round, red papules that resemble insect bites. Within a short amount of time, these lesions change into varying sizes and patterns. They may become red with white centers that have papules on the center. This gives them a target-like appearance. Although they can be seen on any body surface area, they are usually seen on the face and trunk.
When in the lungs this mucus clogs the airways and traps bacteria. This can lead to lung infections (also caused by bacteria), lung damage, helps germs grow and multiply, and later can cause respiratory failure. When in the pancreas the mucus buildup prevents the release of digestive enzymes that allows the body to break down food and absorb nutrients. This can lead to difficulty absorbing food and nutrients, which can lead to poor weight gain. The mucus caused by CF can also cause liver disease, and can affect a male’s ability to have
Cystic Fibrosis Could you Imagine what it would be like if you had a disorder that clogged and blocked the passageways in your body? Well there is a disease that does this very same thing, and it’s called Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes your body to produce a thick and sticky mucus. No, the disease isn’t the mucus being produced, it’s the mucus being thick and sticky. This mucus is supposed to be thin and watery, so it can act like a lubricant and help protect your bodies organs and passageways.
Epiglottis is the thin elastic cartilaginous structure at the root of the tongue that covers the glottis to stop food and liquid from getting into the trachea during swallowing. The glottis is the vocal area of the larynx, vocal cords and the opening. Epiglottis is the inflammation of the epiglottis, the flap at the end of the throat, the infection is life threatening and can come on quickly. It’s caused by a bacterial infection, with influenzas, which causes mojitos, pneumonia, ear infection, and sinus infections when the flap at the bottom of the throat gets infected it will become red, sore and swollen. This could cause the voice to be a horse with high fever and difficulty in breathing.
Because they also encourage mucous secretions, macrophage activity on pneumococci is decreased while bacterial adhesion to the epithelium is increased. Pneumonia is a condition that aggravates the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill with fluid or pus causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. Cyanosis occurs as a result of the decrease in gas exchange through the inflamed alveolar membrane and subsequent decline in hemoglobin saturation. One of the most common complications of the flu is a bacterial infection.

When the sebaceous gland becomes over-engorged and blocked, this creates a sebaceous cyst. In extremely rare cases, some sebaceous cysts can become benignly tumorous or cancerous. Symptoms and Complaints Since the cysts are below the skin, they irritate the epidermis upon being blocked, irritated or inflamed. The area around the cyst may become warm, tender, sore and/or odorous.
• Cultures of ear drainage. • X-rays. • CT scan. • MRI.
The patient had no other systemic symptom. He had no underlying disease and denied neither traumatic history nor exposure to chemical compound. Neither similar skin lesions nor malignancy presented in his family members. Physical examination revealed localized large well-defined papillomatous
SUMMARY A 64 year old male who presented with bleeding per rectum and altered bowel habits of 6 month duration was found to have numerous polyps in the colon with colonoscopy. He also had two osteomas on the forehead and several epidermal cysts in the scrotal skin. His brother had a history suggestive of a similar disease. The patient underwent total proctocolectomy and ileal pouch – anal anastomosis.
