Inflammatory pseudotumor

Before directly treating dry eye, any comorbid conditions should be treated to the best extent possible. As previously mentioned, any associated ocular disease, such as blepharitis, MGD, ocular allergy, infections, and contact lens-related problems, should be appropriately addressed. Local or systemic disease, such as thyroid orbitopathy and orbital inflammatory pseudotumor, can cause exophthalmos and proptosis and should be comanaged with the patient s primary care physician or appropriate specialist. Neuroimaging is often required to exclude orbital tumors in these cases.

Leiomyosarcomas are most commonly found in the retroperitoneum in adults. They uncommonly occur in the deep soft tissues of the extremities but may be seen in more superficial sites, particularly in the dermis and subcutis. The differential diagnosis of LMS traditionally includes other sarcomas composed of intersecting spindle-cell fascicles, including fibrosarcoma, MPNST, synovial sarcoma, and spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma. Additional conditions such as IMT (inflammatory pseudotumor), neurofibroma, and hemangiopericytoma (see Fig. 4.5) are also considerations.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a cytoplasmic membrane tyrosine kinase receptor expressed in anaplastic large cell lymphoma. ALK expression has been detected in about two thirds of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the urinary tract, also termed postoperative spindle cell nodule, inflammatory pseudotumor, and pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor.

The HHV-8 virus is found in association with Kaposi s sarcoma, rare forms of B-cell lymphoma, multiple myeloma, primary effusion lymphoma, Castleman s disease and sarcoidosis. HHV-8 has been detected in the majority of bone marrow samples taken from multiple myeloma patients. Recently HHV-8 was described in association with the pulmonary and extrapulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor (inflammatory myoflbroblastic tumor).

Chronic infection with C burnetii is usually manifested by infective endocarditis, which is also the most severe complication of Q fever. In addition, a report73 from France of 92 cases published in 1993 also listed hepatitis, infected vascular prostheses and aneurysms, osteomyelitis, pulmonary infection, cutaneous infection, and an asymptomatic form. In addition, 7 of the 92 patients described in this report experienced fever only. Also noted was the observation that although 81% of patients had an identifiable risk factor, only 31% lived in a rural area. In addition, some form of immunodeficiency was observed in 20% of the patients, raising the possibility that chronic Q fever occurs as a result of reactivation of latent infection.73 Inflammatory pseudotumor of the lung as a chronic complication of Q fever has also been reported.74,75...

Some complications have been described with the use of CAs such as systemic inflammatory reaction to foreign body (pain and fever, local tissue necrosis) and inflammatory reaction to foreign body (mediastinitis, esophageal pleural fismla, duodenal ulcer perforation, pancreaticoduodenal necrosis, inflammatory pseudotumor of pancreatic tail). Other twes of complications have also been reported. ...
