Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia with amyloidosis
نویسنده
چکیده
Two cases of angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia are described, one of the solitary plasma cell type the other of the multicentric hyaline vascular type. Both cases illustrate the wide ranging clinical and pathological findings associated with this condition but both also have unusual features. The solitary plasma cell lesion had an exceptional 32 year clinical history and was associated with systemic amyloidosis of AL type. The multicentric hyaline vascular case was associated with coexistent multiple myeloma and amyloid deposition also of AL type. These cases are presented with a review of the relevant literature.

متن کاملAngiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia arising from the intercostal space.
Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia (Castleman's disease) was first described in 1956 by Castleman et al' as asymptomatic large, benign hyperplastic mediastinal lymph nodes that resembled thymoma. This disease has been reported in various sites and organs, but a careful search of published reports showed no case arising from the intercostal space. We report a case that arose in the chest wall.

We report this case of secondary amyloidosis associated with Castleman's disease. A 51-year-old man presented with systemic symptoms of generalized weakness, fatigue, unintended weight loss, anorexia and progressively worsening abdominal distension.

متن کاملHyaline-vascular variant of angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia with systemic manifestations and response to corticosteroids.
We report two cases of angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia of the hyaline-vascular type. The patients were atypical in having systemic complications, which are much more commonly seen in the plasma cell variant of this disorder. In each case, the diagnosis was established some years after the initial presentation. Both patients presented with unusual systemic manifestations. The exact mechan...
