A 27-year-old male patient presented with respiratory symptoms, bilateral enlargement of the cervical lymph nodes and enlarged liver. In the imaging studies, bilateral enlargement of the hilar nodes was observed, together with pulmonary infiltrate. The patient was submitted to lung and liver biopsies, which revealed noncaseating granulomas. The clinical, radiological and histopathological findi...

PURPOSE We demonstrate the multislice computed tomography (MSCT) findings of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)-proven hilar and mediastinal lymph node enlargement with signs of anthracosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS 53 enlarged lymph nodes in 39 patients (28 male, 11 female) with EBUS-TBNA-confirmed anthracosis were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Th...

Herein, we report a case of sentinel lymph node mapping in a uterine cervix cancer patient, referring to the nuclear medicine department of our institute. Lymphoscintigraphy images showed inappropriate intra‐cervical injection of radiotracer. Blue dye technique was applied for sentinel lymph node mapping, using intra‐cervical injection of methylene blue. Two blue/cold sentinel lymph nodes, with...

OBJECTIVE To review the pathology of lymph node disorders in adults with primary peripheral lymphadenopathy. METHODS A 20-year (1985-2004) retrospective study of lymph node biopsies at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria. RESULTS Of the 427 lymph node biopsy specimens received, 238 (55.7%) were from males and 189 (44.3%) from females. Localized lymphadenopathy was...

castleman's disease is an uncommon cause of lymph node enlargement that mostly involves the mediastinum and lung hilum. it is divided into 2 types: localized, which is usually asymptomatic and presents with a mass lesion; and multicentric, which is characterized by chills, anemia, generalized lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. an extrathoracic site of involvement is very uncommon, and may ...

with diffuse fibrosis, the lymph node architecture may not be recognized because of total replacement of the lymph nodes. Nonspecific enlargement of otherwise normal-looking lymph nodes, as well as coarse reticular pattern, may occasionally be observed. Increased numbers of nodes are often seen in infants and children. There are no adenographic patterns pathognomonic of Hodgkin's disease (7). T...

OBJECTIVE To describe the differences in the clinical and radiological presentation of tuberculosis in the presence or absence of HIV infection. METHODS A sample of 231 consecutive adults with active pulmonary tuberculosis admitted to a tuberculosis hospital were studied, assessing HIV infection, AIDS, and associated factors, as well as re-evaluating chest X-rays. RESULTS There were 113 HIV...

Introduction: To assess the rate of cervical lymph node involvement in patients with supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with no lymph node in clinical assessments and radiological studies. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six patients who underwent elective dissection of the cervical lymph node of the second through fourth level were enrolled, and pathologic evaluation of the dissected lymp...
