Abstract:
Granulomatous disorder is a group of chronic proliferative inflammatory diseases.Both infectious and noninfectious factors can lead to granuloma formation.Its diagnosis and treatment should be dependent on clinical manifestations and pathological results of patients.The existence of systematic diseases and immune system abnormalities is the key factor in determining final therapy in this condition.It is a rare clinical case of granulomatosis with simple invasion of one single peripheral nerve,which is challenging in daily clinical work.Here we present a case of granulomatous inflammation involving the right tibial nerve only,and analyze the difficulties and key points in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients with literature review.
