lymphogranuloma Path.|ˌlɪmfəʊgrænjʊˈləʊmə|
[f. lympho- + granuloma.]
Used, usu. with mod.L. or Eng. adjs., to designate any of three diseases (see quot. 1958), esp. lymphogranuloma venereum (or lymphogranuloma inguinale), a venereal disease, esp. of the tropics, caused by micro-organisms of the group Chlamydiæ, and manifested esp. as inflammation, followed by suppuration and breakdown, of the lymph nodes and lymph vessels, particularly in the inguinal region.
1924J. Schaumann in Brit. Jrnl. Dermatol. XXXVI. 515 When in November 1914, I described the disease I proposed designating by the anatomico-clinical name of benign lymphogranuloma, I had already detected the essential characteristics, which justified its classification amongst lymphadenic affections. 1932DeWolf & Van Cleve in Jrnl. Amer. Med. Assoc. 24 Sept. 1065/1 They [sc. Durand, Nicolas, and Favre] chose the name ‘subacute inguinal lymphogranulomatosis’ for the disease, a rather unfortunate designation because of the confusion to which it may lead. We have chosen the shorter designation, ‘lymphogranuloma inguinale’, as this name is becoming more widely used by European writers. 1958R. W. Raven Cancer II. xxiv. 473 Few medical terms can have such different meanings in different countries as lymphogranuloma. When used without qualification, in English-speaking countries, ‘lymphogranuloma’ usually refers to ‘lymphogranuloma inguinale’ (Nicolas–Favré disease); in most European countries it implies Hodgkin's disease (‘lymphogranuloma malignum’) but in Scandinavia it refers to sarcoidosis (‘lymphogranuloma benignum’). 1960J. Marshall Dis. Skin xxv. 630 (heading) Hodgkin's disease (malignant lymphogranuloma of Paltauf–Sternberg). 1967A. C. Allen Skin (ed. 2) xi. 423/1 At different stages in the evolution of the information on the disease, stress was placed on the involvement of one organ over others, as indicated by the application of the terms ‘uveo⁓parotid fever’, ‘osteitis tuberculosa multiplex cystica’, ‘lupus pernio’, and ‘benign lymphogranuloma’. 1974Passmore & Robson Compan. Med. Stud. III. xiii. 13/2 Lymphogranuloma venereum. Alternative names for this disease are lymphogranuloma inguinale and tropical bubo. It is caused by Chlamydia or Bedsonia. |
