#glandular inflammation

• Adenitis — An acute or chronic inflammation of a lymph node or a gland, usually caused by a localized bacterial, viral, or fungal infection in the vicinity. This structural condition manifests clinically through swelling, increased local sensitivity, spontaneous pain upon palpation, and sometimes redness of the overlying skin, requiring clinical investigations to differentiate it from other lymphadenopathies.
• Adenolymphoiditis — An acute or chronic inflammatory process concurrently affecting the glandular elements and the associated lymphoid tissue within an organ or a specific anatomical region. This complex structural condition combines the histological features of adenitis and lymphadenitis, involving a severe immune reaction, massive cellular infiltration, and local hyperplastic changes in the targeted parenchyma.
