    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Histopathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Granulomatous lymphadenitis can present diagnostic challenges, sometimes mimicking malignant lymphoma.
    • Xanthomatous changes in lymph nodes are uncommon and require careful histopathological evaluation.

    Observation:

    • A case presented with a striking xanthomatous appearance due to foamy histiocytes.
    • The lesion initially raised suspicion for malignant lymphoma.
    • Histological features were comparable to xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis.

    Findings:

    • The observed xanthomatous changes represent the reabsorption and healing phases of acute suppurative lymphadenitis.
    • The xanthomatous response is likely a non-specific degenerative process.
    • A new term, xanthogranulomatous lymphadenitis, is proposed for this entity.

    Implications:

    • This finding expands the differential diagnosis for granulomatous lymphadenitis.
    • Recognizing xanthogranulomatous lymphadenitis can prevent misdiagnosis of lymphoma.
    • Understanding the healing process clarifies the nature of xanthomatous lesions in lymph nodes.
