The clinical and pathological associations of @entity99 in @entity1 who presented to the Royal Adelaide Hospital between January 1, 1968 and February 29, 1984 were reviewed retrospectively. Cases of @entity2835 were excluded. Of 59 @entity1 with @entity99 , clear associations with diseases were identified in 42 (71%) @entity1 . These were @entity370 (seven cases), @entity409 (12 cases), @entity253 (three cases), @entity378 (four cases), @entity4002 (three cases), other @entity281 (four cases), drug @entity56 (four cases) and @entity5 (five cases). Ten @entity1 had multiple associations and five other @entity1 presented without any clearly defined cause for @entity738 . Three of these latter @entity1 presented with an @entity221 , showed @entity382 and had abnormal results of liver function tests. These cases may represent the entity that is labeled "idiopathic @entity99 ". Two other @entity1 abused @entity167 . @entity738 were categorized morphologically as microgranulomas, macrogranulomas and lipogranulomas according to their size, organization and the presence of fat droplets. Microgranulomas were associated with diseases of short duration and less @entity409 . The presence of @entity738 did not confer any prognostic implication over and above that of the associated disease.
