Mesenteric hyaline plasma cell lymph node hyperplasia with amyloid deposits

Archives of Internal Medicine

Abstract

Lymph node hyperplasia (mixed hyaline vascular and plasma cell type) of mesenteric localization in a young woman was accompanied by noticeable systemic manifestations--fever, highly increased sedimentation rate, anemia, and hypergammaglobulinemia--that disappeared after the tumor was removed. Perivascular deposits of amyloid material were found within the tumor and in the spleen. To our knowledge, this finding has not been previously reported. On the basis of earlier studies in the literature and other considerations, an immunologic disorder is proposed as the cause of both the general symptoms and the amyloid deposits.

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Castleman Disease

Castleman disease is a rare disorder that involves an overgrowth of cells in the lymph nodes. Unicentric Castleman disease affects one lymph node, usually in the chest or abdomen. Multicentric Castleman disease affects multiple lymph nodes, commonly located in the neck, collarbone, underarm and groin areas. Discover the latest research on Castleman disease here.
