Pharyngeal applesauce nodules

Introduction Pharyngeal apple-like nodules: pharyngeal lupus is the same as lupus in other areas, characterized by insidious onset and painless development. When lupus occurs on the face or nose, and typical applesauce-like nodules occur in the pharynx, the diagnosis is easy, but a biopsy is still needed to confirm the diagnosis. The pathogenic bacteria are Mycobacterium tuberculosis with low virulence. The pharyngeal lupus is the same as lupus in other areas, characterized by insidious onset and painless development. The course of the disease progresses very slowly, the general symptoms are mild, and the pharyngeal discomfort and adhesion are often felt. The swallowing is slightly inconvenient, usually without sore throat, and the general condition is better. The uvula is often the first site, which in turn invades the tongue and the soft palate, but the tonsils are rarely violated.

Examination of pharyngeal apple-like nodules

The pharyngeal lupus is the same as lupus in other areas, characterized by insidious onset and painless development. When lupus occurs on the face or nose, and typical applesauce-like nodules occur in the pharynx, the diagnosis is easy, but a biopsy is still needed to confirm the diagnosis.

The course of the disease is extremely slow, and patients often don't know when to get sick. The general symptoms are mild, often feel pharyngeal discomfort and sticky feeling, swallowing is slightly inconvenient, usually no sore throat, the general condition is better. The uvula is often the first site, which in turn invades the tongue and the soft palate, but the tonsils are rarely violated. According to the clinical process, it can be divided into four phases.

1. Submucosal infiltration: The mucosa is pale, swollen, slightly dry and shiny, and loses softness.

2. Nodular proliferative phase: lupus nodular color is reddish or yellowish, as large as millet, most nodules are aggregated into granular lupus lesions, and nodules on the lesion are sometimes difficult to identify due to mucosal congestion, coated with adrenaline fluid The nodule often shows a typical apple sauce color.

3. Ulcer period: nodules ulcerated into ulcers, the surface may be covered with white pseudomembrane, the ulcer is generally shallow, the edge bulge contains nodules, and the bottom often has granulation.

4. Scar formation period: ulcers can often self-heal and form smooth scars, which can be shortened due to soft palate contraction.

Differential diagnosis

Symptoms of pharyngeal applesauce-like nodules

The presence of scattered grayish white herpes in the pharynx is one of the important clinical manifestations of enterovirus infection. Oropharynx vesicular lesions: Oropharynx vesicular lesions are a clinical condition caused by B herpesvirus infection. Pharyngeal congestion may have pharyngitis.
