Abstract:
The sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease. It is usually characterized by skin manifestations which may be suggestive of progressive sarcoidosis with visceral involvement. We here report a case of pulmonary sarcoidosis revealed by the reactivation of an old cutaneous scar following a trauma occurred 20 years earlier. Radiological assessment showed mediastino-pulmonary sarcoidosis stage 2. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis should be suspected in patients with any recent scar modification in order to establish early management.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis II
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...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
