Kikuchi's disease is a benign condition that occurs in women. A young woman presented to the hospital with fevers and cervical lymphadenopathy. Infectious work-up was negative except for streptococcus pharyngitis. Imaging studies revealed the presence of diffuse cervical and axillary lymphadenopathy.

Peripheral lymphadenopathy affects most children at least once in a lifetime and represents major reason for concern. Therefore, we aimed to identify the common causes of peripheral hospitalized determine clinical, laboratory ultrasound characteristics that enable fast, easy accurate etiological diagnosis. We performed cross-sectional study including 139 who were because lymphadenopathy. Ultras...

Rosai Dorfman disease (RDD) or sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML) is a rare disorder that typically manifests as lymphadenopathy and systemic symptoms.The authors report a 56 year old man who presented with massive generalised lymphadenopathy with haemolytic anaemia. Histopathological examination demonstrated lymphophagocytosis (emperipolesis) consistent with a diagnosis of...

Peripheral lymphadenopathy is rarely observed, whereas mesenteric lymphadenopathy is found occasionally on laparotomies in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy was reported only once in an autopsy of a patient with FMF. Our case is the second one, and the first one to be diagnosed during life, by means of abdominal ultrasonography and computerized to...

This is the first case demonstrating that BOOP, now ...

Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) DNA sequences have been reported to be strictly associated not only with various forms of Kaposi's sarcoma but also with an unusual subgroup of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related B-cell lymphomas. A possible relation of this putative virus also with multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) has been recently suggested. We used polymerase chain reaction to...
