Path slide set 2 Flashcards
Treatment for kawasaki
Usually self limited but give IVIG and aspirin
A vascular proliferation in response to gram negative Bartonella bacilli that occurs on skin of immunocompromised patients
Bacillary angiomatosis
Histology of PAN
- Transmural necrotizing inflammation containing neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and macrophages
- Fibrinoid necrosis (partial)
- Sites of inflammation NOT circumferential
- NO giant cells or granulomas
Bacillary angiomatosis is visualized how?
with PCR or with a Warthin-Starry stain
morphology for kaposi sarcoma
spindle cells
where is the gender preference for angiosarcoma?
males=females
Vasculitis in which 1/3 of patients have chronic hepatitis and HBsAg-HBsAb complexes are found in involved vessels
PAN
What is the origin of a glomus tumor
Smooth muscle cells
What are the most common vessels affected by microscopic polyangiitis
Renal glomeruli and lung capillaries
Malignant endothelial tumor in older individual that may occur anywhere but is common in skin, soft tissue, breast, and liver
angiosarcoma
Associated with Asthma and allergic Rhinitis
Chung-Strauss Syndrome
How can you differentiate primary from secondary Raynaud phenomenon?
Primary is symmetric and benign course
Secondary is asymmetric and worsens over time
What type of tumor is kaposi sarcoma?
an intermediate vascular tumor
Factor V leiden increases risk of what?
thrombophlebitis
A large lymphangioma of neck or axilla of children
Cavernous lymphangioma (cystic hygroma)
Most cases associated with MPO-ANCA
Microscopic polyangiitis
What is an effective treatment of Bacillary angiomatosis

What Kaposi is localized to skin, usually the distal lower extremities
Classic
Small vessel necrotizing vasculitis that may resemble PAN of M. Polyangiitis but also has eosinophils and granulomas
Chung-Strauss Syndrome
Histology of microscopic polyangiitis
- segmental necrotizing inflammation with fibrinoid necrosis
- many apoptotic neutrophils usually seen
- “luekocytoclastic vasculitis
Thrombophlebitis almost always involves what?
deep veins in leg - can be completely asymptomatic
