The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is a native species to China. They are rare and endangered and are regarded as the 'national treasure' and 'living fossil' in China. For the time being, there ...
Giant bulla or pneumothorax: How to distinguish.
The differential diagnosis between pneumothorax and giant bullae is thought to be straightforward but sometimes poses a challenge.
First Report of a Novel Hepatozoon sp. in Giant Pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).
The first report of giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) infected with a novel Hepatozoon species is presented. An intraleukocytic parasite was detected via routine blood smear from a zoo-housed gian...
Severe fetal cardiomegaly caused by multiple non-giant placental chorioangiomas.
A pregnant woman was referred to our hospital due to fetal cardiomegaly. We recognised a dilated umbilical vein, which raised a suspicion of placental chorioangioma. A male neonate was delivered at 37...
Risk factors for infarct expansion are different between lacunar and giant lacunar infarction.
The precise mechanisms underlying the expansion of lacunar and giant lacunar infarction remain unclear. We aimed to determine risk factors for lacunar and giant lacunar infarction and to clarify diffe...
Alternative Treatment of Giant Spinal Schwannomas
Schwannomas are benign tumors that can reach giant sizes. The diagnosis and treatment of these cases differ from those of small schwannomas. The aim of this study was to review the diagnos...
Hydroxychloroquine in Giant Cell Arteritis
Cortico-dependence is frequent in giant cell arteritis patients, and no drugs has proved its ability to prevent corticodependence. Hydrocychloroquine is a well tolerated immunomodulatory d...
HECTHOR: Humira to Spare Steroids in Giant Cell Arteritis
Hypothesis: In giant cell arteritis (GCA), a short initial treatment with anti-TNF may allow a faster decrease of steroids dosage and therefore avoid some of the adverse events of steroids...
Giant Cell Tumor of the Bone in Young Patients
single institution cases series review of histological and clinical data of young patient with Giant Cell Tumors
KPL-301 for Subjects With Giant Cell Arteritis
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of mavrilimumab (KPL-301) versus placebo, co-administered with a 26-week corticosteroid taper, for maintaining sustained remi...

Giant Cells, Langhans
Multinucleated cells (fused macrophages) seen in granulomatous inflammations such as tuberculosis, syphilis, sarcoidosis, and deep fungal infections. They resemble foreign-body giant cells (GIANT CELLS, FOREIGN BODY) but Langhans giant cells contain less chromatin and their nuclei are arranged peripherally in a horseshoe-shaped pattern. Langhans giant cells occur frequently in delayed hypersensitivity.
Giant Cells, Foreign-body
Multinucleated cells (fused macrophages), characteristic of granulomatous inflammation, which form around exogenous material in the skin. They are similar in appearance to Langhans giant cells (GIANT CELLS, LANGHANS), but foreign-body giant cells have more abundant chromatin and their nuclei are scattered in an irregular pattern in the cytoplasm.
Granuloma, Giant Cell
A non-neoplastic inflammatory lesion, usually of the jaw or gingiva, containing large, multinucleated cells. It includes reparative giant cell granuloma. Peripheral giant cell granuloma refers to the gingiva (giant cell epulis); central refers to the jaw.
Giant Cell Tumors
Tumors of bone tissue or synovial or other soft tissue characterized by the presence of giant cells. The most common are giant cell tumor of tendon sheath and GIANT CELL TUMOR OF BONE.
