Question 1

had lung surgery vats wedge resection result necrotizing granulomatous inflammation what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Probably good: Hope you are well.  With the limited information, sounds like 1. You had a surgeon versed/skilled in modern techniques and 2. The nodule/spot was not cancer. Causes of granuloma are numerous.  Best to discuss path report with your surgeon to confirm diagnosis and implications.

Question 2

hi there
i have been diagnosed with tb in the spine
i  have done a biopsy of the bone and it says necrisois is seen and necrotizing granulomatous inflamtion
does this mean i have cancer?

Accepted Answer

: The infection may have injured the bone integrity. The biopsy report should be reviewed for details of AFB staining. If cultures were sent to determine if there is TB infection present, sensitivities to a specific combination of drugs provides additional details. Bone cancer may be detectable if present, but infection and damage are more likely.

Question 3

can granulomatous inflammation been treat by immunologist?

Accepted Answer

Not generally: Most clinical immunologists treat patients with immune deficiencies and allergies but not autoimmune or rheumatologic diseases. Some immunologists also get training in caring for patients with autoimmune/ rheumatologic problems but it is not standard training for immunologists that are board certified in allergy and immunology.Granulomatous disease is almost always either infection or autoimmune.

Question 4

biopsy result suggestive of nonnecrotizing granulomatous inflammation no phenotypically abnormal lymphoid population detected what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Chronic inflammation: The tissue provided to the pathologist showed chronic inflammation. No cancer was seen. The biopsy was not diagnostic of a particular disease. Biopsy results need to be interpreted in association with rest of your medical history, symptoms, signs, and other tests and imaging studies.

Question 5

i  just got a biopsy done  in my breast got the results is necrotizing granulomatous inflammation, is this serious?what`s the treatment for that?

Accepted Answer

Not serious: It is not serious and nothing to worry about. I don't think you need to worry about treatment at this stage. When you see your Ob/Gyn next time, he will decide if you need additional treatment or not.

Question 6

two biopsy same results! necrotizing granulomatous inflammation, keep coming back.:( legs and breast, tired having surgery, any treatment?

Accepted Answer

This is serious: I haven't seen your glass slides, but as i'd urge you to consider it wegener's granulomatosis until proved otherwise.  Your physician would do well to encourage your local pathologist to send out for consultation to his/her ten smartest friends for their thoughts. Nobody knows everything. Good luck.
