Sarcoidosis, a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. The presentation of sarcoidal granuloma in neck nodes without typical manifestations of systemic sarcoidosis is difficult to diagnose. We describe the case of a 37-year-old woman with an increasing mass on the right side of neck. The excisional biopsy from the neck mass showed noncaseating epithelioid cell granuloma of the lymph...

Background & Objectives: Colon cancer is currently of high incidence and mortality rate. Identifying the factors influencing its prognosis can be very beneficial to its clinical treatment. Recent studies have shown that lymph nodes ratio can be considered as an important prognostic factor. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of this factor on the prognosis of the ...

BACKGROUND Primary lymph node plasmacytoma is a rare disease that typically involves lymph nodes of the neck. In only 15% of cases is the disease generalized. Here, we present a case of generalized lymph node plasmacytoma in a patient with Sjögren's syndrome with an unusual course. CASE PRESENTATION A 48-year-old white woman presented to our hospital with enlargement of groups of lymph nodes,...

Although epitrochlear lymph nodes may be enlarged as a part of generalized lymphadenopathy, isolated enlargement of epitrochlear lymph nodes is rarely seen. We describe Hodgkin's lymphoma in a 55-year-old male who presented with isolated epitrochlear lymphadenopathy of his right arm. In the histopathological examination of the epitrochlear lymph node was a lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma with ...

Lymph node has probably been the first target of Fine Needle Cytology (FNC) and among the latest to be accepted as an affordable diagnostic procedure. In 1912, dr. Hirschfeld performed FNC to diagnose cutaneous lymphomas and other tumours. Subsequently FNC was used to diagnose lymphoblastoma and splenic FNC to diagnose leishmaniasis on Romanowsky-stained smears. One of the first systematic stud...

The relationship between the size of a lymph node in tuberculous cervical lymphadenopathy (TCL) cases and the role of surgery is unclear. We examined the outcomes in patients with TCL treated between October 2011 and November 2013 at the ENT Department, Hatyai Hospital. Ninety-seven patients were included in the study. The subjects were divided into five groups based on clinical presentation an...

Graft-vs.-host (GVH)-induced lymphadenopathy of the popliteal lymph node has been produced in C57BL/6 x A/J F(1) (BAF(1)) mice by injecting A/J spleen cells into the rear footpads. By giving (51)Cr-labeled BAF(1) lymphoid cells intravenously to the hosts, 24 h before sacrifice, we have demonstrated that a large portion of the GVH-induced lymphadenopathy is due to the trapping of circuating lymp...

Dasatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor licensed in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) known to exert immunomodulatory effects in vitro and in vivo.We report on 9 chronic phaseCMLpatients who developed follicular lymphoid hyperplasia (FLH) apparently caused by dasatinib, an unreported adverse event related to this drug. Patients received dasatinib at 100 mg (n5 7), at 80 mg (n5 1)...

localized leishmania lymphadenitis (l.l.l) is a self limited clinical presentation of cutaneous leishmaniasis. microscopic findings in l.l.l are very similar to toxoplasma lymphasenitis. in all cases, an intensive microscopic search should be done for leishman bodies. in this study, we describe our microscopic findings and results of our immnohistochemical (ihc) study with a panel of monoclonal...
