Lipomatosis of the pancreas

Diffuse pancreatic changes of the lipomatosis type -- with gradual replacement of parenchymatous tissue by fatty tissue -- are also called fatty dystrophy or non-alcoholic fatty pancreatic disease.

Lipoid nephrosis

Lipoid nephrosis is a disease of young children (mostly 2-4 years old), more often boys. Lipoid nephrosis is a kidney disease in which morphologically there are only minimal changes.

Lipidoses. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Lipidoses are storage diseases (thesaurismoses), almost always occur with damage to the central nervous system, so they are called neurolipidoses. Skin manifestations are one of the main symptoms only in diffuse angiokeratoma of Fabry (glycosphingolipidosis), in other forms they occur infrequently, possibly due to early death.

Lingual nerve neuralgia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a recurrent attack of severe pain in the area of innervation of the IX pair of cranial nerves (posterior pharyngeal wall, posterior 1/3 of the tongue, middle ear). Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is diagnosed clinically. Treatment of glossopharyngeal neuralgia with carbamazepine or gabapentin.

Linear migratory miasis. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Light-cell acanthoma. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Clear cell acanthoma is a benign tumor of the epidermis, regarding which it belongs to true tumor processes, there is no consensus. According to some data, the pathological condition is probably based on disturbances in the maturation processes of epithelial cells.

Ligament, muscle, tendon ruptures: general information

Ruptures of ligaments, muscles and tendons are possible. There are minimal (grade I), moderate and severe (grade II) ruptures and a complete rupture (grade III). Grade III ligament damage can cause joint instability; it is differentiated from grade II using load tests.

Leukoplakia of the cervix. Causes. Symptoms. Diagnosis. Treatment

Leukoplakia is a pathological process based on dysfunction of the stratified squamous epithelium: lack of glycogen formation and the occurrence of keratinization (hyperkeratosis).

Leukoplakia

Simple leukoplakia is a dyskeratotic disease, that is, one that is accompanied by impaired keratinization. The pathology affects multilayered flat epithelial tissue and can be found in the oral cavity, respiratory tract, genitourinary tract, and anal area.

Leukopenia: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Leukopenia or neutropenia is a syndrome in which the absolute number of circulating neutrophils in the blood is below 1.5x109/l. The extreme manifestation of neutropenia is agranulocytosis - a condition in which the number of granulocytes in the blood is below 0.5x109/l.
