Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare, benign, and predominantly nodal disease that most commonly presents as bilateral, painless cervical lymphadenopathy; although inguinal, axillary, mediastinal, and hilar lymphadenopathy has also been reported. Apart from nodal involvement, RDD has extranodal manifestations involving bone, soft tissue, and liver as well as constitutional symptoms of fever, night sweats, and weight loss, which make it reasonable to rule out the infectious, autoimmune, and malignant conditions as the differential diagnosis. We herein report a case of RDD affecting only the mediastinal and hilar region in an 83-year-old woman.

TY - JOUR. T1 - Disseminated tuberculosis presented with mediastinal lymphadenopathy, nodular thickening of pleura and liver involvement in a diabetic patient. AU - Chen, Yi Jen. AU - Chen, Chang-Wen. AU - Hsiue, Tzuen-Ren. PY - 2007/12/1. Y1 - 2007/12/1. N2 - Tuberculosis can involve many organs and have a broad spectrum of image presentation. It may resemble malignant diseases and thus confuse the judgment of the clinician. We report a 60-year-old diabetic woman suffered from chronic cough for 2 years and whose computed tomography scan revealed multiple pleural nodules with mediastinal lymphadenopathy and multiple liver masses. We approached this case as malignant disease initially but found it to be a systemic tuberculosis infection after a series of examinations. Tuberculosis may have radiological presentation like malignant disease. Physicians should consider tuberculosis as a possibility for those patients with underlying diseases, which can potentiate tuberculosis infection.. AB - ...

Introduction: Kimuras disease (KD) is an allergic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology endemic in Orientals. Kimuras disease was first mentioned by Kimm and Szeto in China in 1937. Kimuras disease is commonly encountered in Asia and is mostly reported in Japan, China, Singapore and Honkong. However, only a few cases have been reported in the Indian subcontinent. Case Report: A case of Kimuras disease in a young male managed by surgery is reported in addition to a literature review. Conclusion: Diagnosis is made on the basis of histopathological analysis, clinical presentation, and laboratory investigations. Long term follow-up is required as Kimuras disease is prone for recurrence.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is an uncommon pathologic condition of unknown ethiology with an idiopathic proliferation of the hystiocytes. It is generally presented with massive bilateral hypertrophy of the cervical lymph nodes. But other lymph nodes may also be involved. Approximately, 30% of these patients have extra nodal mass or lesion with different signs or symptoms depending on localization. We present two male siblings with Rosai-Dorfman disease who have classical cervical lymphadenopathy associated with progressive neurosensorial hearing loss and dural-based intracranial lesions.

Lymphadenopathy is a common radiological finding in many thoracic diseases and may be caused by a variety of infectious, inflammatory, and neoplastic conditions. This review aims to describe the patterns of mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy found in benign diseases in immunocompetent patients. Computed tomography is the method of choice for the evaluation of lymphadenopathy, as it is able to demonstrate increased size of individual nodes, abnormalities of the interface between the mediastinum and lung, invasion of surrounding fat, coalescence of adjacent nodes, obliteration of the mediastinal fat, and hypo- and hyperdensity in lymph nodes. Intravenous contrast enhancement may be needed to help distinguish nodes from vessels. The most frequent infections resulting in this finding are tuberculosis and fungal disease (particularly histoplasmosis and coccidioidomycosis). Sarcoidosis is a relatively frequent cause of lymphadenopathy in young adults, and can be distinguished from other diseases - ...

Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease is a rare, benign cause of lymphadenopathy that is often associated with fever, night sweats, and weight loss. The clinical and laboratory manifestation of Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease are similar to those of lymphoma, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and it is often mistaken for these disorders. Definitive diagnosis is accomplished by lymph node biopsy. Awareness of Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease among clinicians and pathologists is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment of patients with this self-limited disorder.

Conventional transbronchial needle aspiration (C-TBNA) has been proven to be a safe, minimally invasive, and cost-effective technique in establishing the diagnosis of mediastinal pathologies. We studied the success of C-TBNA in our community practice, in patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathies. The technique of C-TBNA was learned solely from the literature, videos, and by practicing on inanimate models during hands-on courses. Conventional TBNA, with 21- and/or 19-gauge Smooth Shot Needles, was performed on consecutive patients with undiagnosed mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Fifty-four patients (38 men), mean age 56.9±11.8 years, underwent C-TBNA. Thirty-three patients had nodes ,20mm. The final diagnoses were malignancy,29; sarcoidosis, 9; reactive lymph nodes, 15; and tuberculosis, 1. The final diagnosis was established by C-TBNA in 27. The exclusive diagnostic yield of TBNA was 42.5% (n: 23). Nodal size had an impact on outcome (P=0.002), whereas location did not (P=0.82). C-TBNA was ...

Clinical lymphadenopathies are subjected to fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) for diagnosing not only benign lesions but also malignant ones, as the first diagnostic procedure. While the diagnostic reliability in metastatic carcinoma is high, it is difficult to differentiate malignant lymphoma from reactive conditions. We evaluated the diagnostic reliability of FNAC in lymphadenopathy, and discuss the diagnostic limitation and its place in clinical practice in this study, Over 8 years from January 1988, FNAC of 1,216 lymphadenopathies were analyzed and among them 170 cases were compared with histopathology. The results are as follows. 1. Of ail the cases, 890 cases(73.2%) were diagnosed cytologically as benign, 312 cases(25.7%) as malignant, and 14 cases(1.1%) as unsatisfactory material. Reactive hyperplasia was diagnosed in 585 cases(65.7%) of the benign lesions, and among the malignant diseases, metastatic carcinoma was diagnosed in 248 cases(79.5%), and malignant lymphoma in 62 ...

Lymph node. Light micrograph of a section through a healthy human lymph node. The follicles (oval, purple) are the regions in which B-lymphocyte white blood cells proliferate. Surrounding the lymph node is a collagenous capsule (pink, at left). This supportive tissue extends into the node as a trabecula (pink). Lymph nodes are kidney-shaped organs into which the fluid from body tissues drains and is filtered. The nodes are packed with white blood cells that destroy disease-causing microorganisms within the fluid. The granular appearance of the tissue is caused by the presence of thousands of lymphocyte white blood cells. Magnification: x400 at 35mm size. - Stock Image P290/0025

There is only one large study in English which adequately answers this question all other relevant reports being case studies or small case series. Uehara et al show that particularly in children age 3 20 months BCG site redness or crust formation was frequently associated with Kawasaki disease. They also showed that the prevalence of BCG site changes was greater than that of cervical lymphadenopathy. The sensitivity of BCG skin changes in Kawasaki disease was 49.9%, however there is no data available to allow calculation of specificity or predictive value ...

As for the not so fab updates, Ive had some rather negative doctor appointments lately of the freak the crap out of me nature. Cliffs notes version...CAT scans in April and June reflect that I have some enlarged lymph nodes in my (I like to say underarms but the doctors officially and eloquently refer to them as) armpits. Theyre not getting any bigger (yay!) but theyre not getting any smaller (boo.) so Im sort of in the middle of a big ole crap storm of advice right now. I do have an autoimmune disease (Sjogrens remember?) which could totally be causing the lymph node enlargement and would be no big deal because we already know about that. My rheumatologist has said that I could totally wait a few months and have another CAT scan to just make sure theyre not getting bigger, which would reflect the nothing more than the autoimmune crap theory. On the other hand, I met with a surgeon last week who told me that it was time for me to have a lymph node biopsy...which turned out to be just a ...

Hello!. First off, I cant tell you how amazing it has been to find a board focused not only on those diagnosed with NLPHL, but those who have had lymph node enlargement in their mesentery. From much of the reading Ive done and from what my oncologist has told me, its really not as common for this disease to present in the mesentery, so it has been reassuring to know that Im not the only one with this uncommon presentation.. A little background: Ive been dealing with illness and inconclusive symptoms for a few years now, the main two being extreme bouts of fatigue, and bouts of diarrhea that have become more frequent over the past three years. I also have had a slew of colds and seemed to be able to get sick quite easily, or at least easier than in the past. I only really started to feel incredibly sick in January of this year, with severe abdominal pain, nausea, lightheadedness, more fatigue, and more intense bouts of diarrhea paired with bouts of constipation. I do have a history of GI ...

Hemophagocytic reticulosis is a very rare disorder characterized by blood and blood cell abnormalities. It may also result in infection or inflammation of the brain. Symptoms begin at birth or soon after and become worse over time without treatment. Common symptoms include enlarged liver, spleen, fever, poor weight gain, vomiting, infections, and anemia (which occurs when the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells). A doctor can diagnose hemophagocytic reticulosis using blood tests. Medication can control the condition and more involved treatments such as stem cell transplant may also be necessary ...

Kimuras disease is a benign rare chronic inflammatory disorder. Its primary symptoms are subdermal lesions in the head or neck or painless unilateral inflammation of cervical lymph nodes. Its cause remains unknown. Reasons like an allergic reaction or an alteration of immune regulation are suspected. Other theories like persistent antigenic stimulation following arthropod bites and parasitic or candidal infection have also been proposed. To date, none of these theories has been substantiated. The pathophysiology of Kimuras disease remains unknown, although an allergic reaction, trauma, and an autoimmune process have all been implicated as the possible cause. The disease is manifested by an abnormal proliferation of lymphoid follicles and vascular endothelium. Peripheral eosinophilia and the presence of eosinophils in the inflammatory infiltrate suggest it may be a hypersensitivity reaction. Some evidence has indicated TH2 lymphocytes may also play a role, but further investigation is needed. ...

8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome (EMS) is a very rare clinicopathological entity which is characterized by the appearance of a myeloproliferative neoplasm in the bone marrow, peripheral lymphadenopathy, usually caused by T or B lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia, and a reciprocal translocation involving chromosome 8p11. Herein we describe a 22-year-old male patient with unusual clinical presentation of EMS. Namely, he initially presented with prolonged epistaxis. Complete blood count showed elevated hemoglobin (17.7g/dl), thrombocytopenia (98x109/l) and leukocytosis (57x109/l). Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy findings corresponded with the presence of a myeloproliferative neoplasm while cytogenetic analysis revealed t(8;13)(p11q12). After that ZMYM2-FGFR1 in-frame fusion was confirmed at the molecular level. Immediately after establishing the diagnosis of a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) generalized lymphadenopathy was developed. Histopathologic examination of lymph node sample confirmed the ...

Disease is also known as sinus histiocytosis with masssive lymphadenopathy. It has a much more benign prognosis than histiocytosis X. A registry published in 1990 of 238 patients showed that of 238 patients, 49 had a lasting remission, 165 had stable disease not requiring treatment, and 21 had died 4 of the disease. It presents in the third to fifth decade with cervical lymphadenopathy often preceded by a viral infection, with elevated ESR and polyclonal gammopathy. Steroids and/or XRT is used for treatment. Authors present two neurologic cases. One mimicked a sellar meningioma with loss of vision, hearing and smell. A gallium scan and chest CT showed chest lesions. The other presented with four months of progressive visual loss. Only 4 % have neurologic involvement (8 patients) five with spinal dural based lesions, three with intracranial epidural lesions ...

Leo Gordon, MD:We have a 52-year-old woman, a longtime smoker, who presented with abdominal pain. Evaluation on physical exam revealed right cervical adenopathy, and a CT [computed tomography] scan, which was done to evaluate the abdominal pain, revealed mediastinal adenopathy and abdominal adenopathy. A PET [positron emission tomography] scan confirmed those findings. She was found, therefore, to have clinical stage IIIa disease. A biopsy of the right cervical node revealed nodular sclerosis, Hodgkin lymphoma, which is classical Hodgkin lymphoma. At the end of staging, she had stage IIIa disease. She had no b symptoms: no weight loss, no fever, and no night sweats. She had a long history of smoking but no significant cardiac disease and no significant pulmonary disease..

The results of this systematic review suggest that the transesophageal use of the echobronchoscope is a safe and effective method of accessing the mediastinum, and provides incremental diagnostic yield over and above that achieved with EBUS-TBNA alone. Overall, we found a good incremental yield (approximately 8%) of adding EUS-B-FNA to the EBUS-TBNA procedure in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The sensitivity of the combined technique was significantly higher than EBUS-TBNA alone (91% vs 80%), in mediastinal staging of lung cancer. In fact, only 10 combined procedures need to be performed to achieve a diagnosis in one additional patient, when compared with EBUS-TBNA alone. The sensitivity of the combined technique is similar to the sensitivity (86%) reported in a meta-analysis of combined EBUS-TBNA plus EUS-FNA by Zhang et al10 However, our analysis is different from the previous meta-analysis in that we have included only those studies that have utilized the same echobronchoscope ...

Case Presentation: A 44 year-old African-American man presented to his primary care physician with a five day history of neck swelling and pain associated with chills, night sweats and weight loss. Three days prior to presentation, he was evaluated at a nearby emergency department and prescribed amoxicillin-clavulanic acid without improvement. Physical and laboratory examinations were normal except for four round, tender, right-sided cervical mobile masses. Computed tomography(CT) of the neck with intravenous contrast revealed bilateral, right greater than left cervical adenopathy consistent with possible lymphoma. Flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy was normal and a fine needle aspiration was inconclusive. He completed a second course of antibiotics with trimethroprim-sulfamethoxazole, again without improvement. Given concern for malignancy, a positron emission tomography(PET) scan was performed and revealed fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in bilateral cervical, axillary and external iliac nodes. As a ...

Hello, my name is Dr. Gaetane Michaud. Im the chief of interventional pulmonary medicine at NYU Langone Health in New York City. My area of focus in pulmonary medicine has been in thoracic oncology. For the last 15 years I have been managing patient complications from tumors in the lung, as well as doing diagnostics for patients that have either lung cancer or other cancers affecting the lungs. Were going to talk today about a case of a 64-year-old man with stage 4 adenocarcinoma of the lung presenting with progressive dyspnea. The symptoms failed to respond to two courses of antibiotics so he was referred to see a pulmonologist. The chest x-ray shows a lung mass and this was confirmed by CT scan that also showed mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The pulmonologist performed an endobronchial ultrasound-guided core biopsy of the mediastinal mass as well as the affected lymph nodes. And multiple specimens were collected including specimens for dedicated molecular characterization. Essentially what we ...

The most striking difference in pathology of sarcoidosis compared to tuberculosis is that in sarcoidosis, the granulomas lack the necrotic centre. Macroscopically, there are a lot of variances and combinations of symptoms in individual patients: Lymph nodes are almost always affected, especially in the hilus area of the lung. At an early stage of pulmonary sarcoidosis, hilar lymphadenopathy is an often observed state. In more than 70% of cases, the lung (interstitium) is affected. Since lung affection is of such a paramount importance in sarcoidosis, a classification exists: ...

A 63-year old man with a history of coronary artery disease and nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma status post surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy was admitted to the ICU with respiratory failure and septic shock secondary to left lower lobe pneumonia. Notably this patient had been admitted with pneumonia four times in the previous five months, with one occurrence complicated by S. pneumoniae bacteremia. CT chest without contrast at time of admission showed left lower lobe pneumonia, multifocal bronchiolitis and mediastinal lymphadenopathy felt to be reactive in the setting of evidence of prior granulomatous disease in the chest (Figure 1). WBC at time of admission was 14.1 K/uL with an ANC of 13.2 K/uL but an ALC of only 100. Serum immunoglobulin levels revealed: IgG 165 (range 600 - 1,560 mg/dL) and IgA 53 (range 90 - 410 mg/dL). Vaccine titers showed poor antibody response - five out of twenty pneumococcal serotypes were within the protective range. Flow cytometry demonstrated an ...
