Pulse or hyaline ring granuloma. Review of the literature on etiopathogenesis of oral and extraoral lesions

Abstract

Since the late 1950s, reports on an unusual giantcell granulomatous lesion affecting the jaws, lungs, stomach and intestines have been published . Histopathologically, the lesions showed the presence of structureless hyaline rings with multinucleated giant cells. The aim of this review was to summarize the literature on the etiopathogenesis of the socalled oral and extraoral pulse or hyaline ring granuloma. Literature was searched using PubMed and Medline. In addition, hand search was performed. Search words were oral and extraoral hyaline ring granuloma, giant-cell hyaline angiopathy, pulse granuloma and chronic periostitis. Numerous terms for hyaline ring granuloma have been introduced over time .

Omental Mass Caused by Pericolic Vegetable Granuloma: A Rare Case Report

“…One of the theories regarding the pathogenesis of this reaction is exogenous. The origin is a foreign material (pulse and legumes) that has penetrated the oral mucosa or gastrointestinal tract and lungs (4). Vegetable/pulse granuloma has been rarely reported in the gastrointestinal tract such as rectum (1) and gall bladder (2).…”

An Unusual Case of Guava Seed Embedded in Buccal Mucosa for Past 6 Months

“…4 Radio graphically, metal and glass appears dense radiopaque. Organic materials like wood are radiolucent whereas food and other particles show nonuniform radiopacity and radio lucency with ill defined margins.…”

Lésion inflammatoire de l’ovaire

“…Les granulomes alimentaires hyalins sont rares et sont rencontrés majoritairement au niveau pulmonaire et buccal [1][2][3][4]. D'autres localisations exceptionnelles ont été décrites (côlon, estomac, scrotum, peau) [3,5].…”

“…Ils surviennent dans un contexte clinique évocateur : fistule ou perforation avec migration de corps étrangers de la filière digestive vers un autre organe. Une réaction inflammatoire péritonéale est le plus souvent associée [1,2,5].…”

“…Deux hypothèses sont avancées pour expliquer ces formations hyalines : l'une exogène, par pénétration de matériel alimentaire dans le cortex ovarien, l'autre endogène, par dégénérescence hyaline des vaisseaux sanguins [1,3].…”
