Abstract
Introduction:
Postarthroplasty histiocytic lymphadenopathy is a benign reactive sinus histiocytosis.
Case Report:
We report on the case of a 68-year-old woman presenting with pelvic postarthroplasty histiocytic lymphadenopathy after hysterectomy because of uterine carcinoma.
Conclusion:
This unusual form of histiocytic lymphadenopathy should be included in the differential diagnosis of gynecologic oncology patients who have had joint replacements to avoid misdiagnosis of a neoplasm.
