Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.2K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

2.4K
Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Summary

Sarcoidosis, a chronic granulomatous disease, often presents without symptoms. This case highlights diagnosing sarcoidosis via lymph node biopsy during unrelated surgery when noncaseous granulomas are found.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic chronic granulomatous disease.
  • Many patients with sarcoidosis are asymptomatic.
  • Noncaseous granulomas are characteristic histological findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of asymptomatic sarcoidosis diagnosed incidentally.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering sarcoidosis in differential diagnoses.

Main Methods:

  • A patient underwent laparoscopic surgery for a gallbladder polyp.
  • Lymph node biopsy was performed during the surgery.
  • Histopathological examination of the biopsy revealed noncaseous granulomas.

Main Results:

  • The patient was asymptomatic prior to the surgery.
  • Noncaseous granulomas were identified in the lymph node biopsy.
  • The patient was diagnosed with sarcoidosis based on these findings.

Conclusions:

  • Incidental finding of noncaseous granulomas can lead to sarcoidosis diagnosis in asymptomatic individuals.
  • Sarcoidosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of granulomatous conditions found during routine biopsies.
  • Laparoscopic surgery can provide opportunities for unexpected diagnoses.
