This is considered to be a cutaneous reaction pattern that can be the manifestation of a number of underlying infections, allergies or ectoparasite infestations. It can also be idiopathic , that is have no discoverable underlying trigger. The eosinophilic reaction is common in feline inflammatory disease and the eosinophilic granuloma can be a hereditary reaction pattern in some lines of domestic cat s. Symptoms Cats with eosinophilic granuloma complex EGC may have one or more of four patterns of skin disease. The most frequent form is eosinophilic plaque . This is a rash comprising raised red to salmon colored and flat topped, moist bumps scattered on the skin surface. The most common location is on the ventral abdomen and inner thigh. Another form of EGC is the lip ulcer . This is a painless, shallow ulcer with raised and thickened edges that forms on the upper lip adjacent to the upper canine tooth. It is often found on both sides of the upper lips. The third form of the EGC is the collagenolytic granuloma . This is a firm swelling that may be ulcerated. The lesions may form on the skin, especially of the face, in the mouth, or on the feet, or may form linear flat topped raised hairless lesions on the back of the hind legs, also called linear granuloma .

Orphan date February 2009 Contact granuloma , also known as a contact ulcer , is a condition where an ulcer is found in the vocal folds . The most common cause of the condition is sustained periods of increased pressure on the vocal folds, and is commonly seen in people who use their voice excessively such as singers John Mayer Born and Raised John Mayer being the most recent notable case .

Unreferenced date August 2010 Recurrent pyogenic cholangitis a.k.a. cholangiohepatitis is a condition that most commonly affects humans of East Asian origins. It is characterized by recurrent bouts of cholangitis in association with liver intrahepatic gallstone pigment stone s and intrahepatic jaundice biliary obstruction . It is also a common liver disease in cats. Pathogenesis In RPC the gallstones found within the biliary system are calcium bilirubinate stones or pigmented calcium stones. Calcium bilirubinate stones are prevalent in Asia and very rare in Europe and the United States . In addition to the presence of these friable concretions of various shapes and sizes within the biliary tree, the bile is often muddy in consistency and contains numerous fine particles of calcium bilirubinate. This differs greatly from cholesterol stones, which are common in Europe and the United States. Pure cholesterol stones contain 96 cholesterol whereas mixed cholesterol stones contain 71.3 cholesterol. The formation of calcium bilirubinate stones in RPC has been attributed to the high incidence of infection with Escherichia coli in the bile. In humans, the majority of bilirubin is excreted in the bile as bilirubin glucuronide.

Because of its overwhelming incidence on the gingiva , the condition is associated with two other disease s, though not because they occur together. Instead, the three are associated with each other because they appear frequently on gingiva and they also begin with the letter p pyogenicgranuloma and peripheral ossifying fibroma . Because of its similar microscopic appearance to the bony lesions called central giant cell granuloma s, peripheral giant cell granulomas are considered by some researchers to be a soft tissue equivalent. The appearance of peripheral giant cell granulomas is similar to pyogenic granulomas. The color ranges from red to bluish purple, but is usually more blue in comparison to pyogenic granulomas. It can be sessile or pedunculated with the size usually being less than 2 cm. There is a gender difference with 60 of the disease occurring in female s. The prevalence of peripheral giant cell granulomas is highest around 50 60 years of age. It appears only on the gingiva or on an edentulous without teeth alveolar ridge. It is more often found in the Human mandible mandible rather than the maxilla but can be found in either anterior or posterior areas. The underlying alveolar bone can be destroyed, leaving a unique appearance referred to as cupping resorption or saucerization .
