Diffuse hyperplasia of lymph node in tuberculosis.

J D Masi, C Toker

    Southern Medical Journal
    |July 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Tuberculosis can cause enlarged lymph nodes that resemble lymphoma. Careful evaluation is crucial, as this reaction can mimic malignancy, but is often benign in the context of active tuberculosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Lymphadenopathy is a common clinical finding.
    • Differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathy includes lymphoma and infectious causes.
    • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global infectious disease.

    Observation:

    • A case is presented where diffuse lymph node hyperplasia mimicked malignant large cell lymphoma.
    • The patient had active tuberculosis.
    • Lymphoma was ruled out after extensive follow-up.

    Findings:

    • Active tuberculosis can induce significant lymphoid hyperplasia.
    • This reactive process can be mistaken for lymphoma on lymph node biopsy.
    • Coexisting lymphoma was excluded in this case.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians and pathologists must consider tuberculosis as a cause of lymphadenopathy.
    • Florid lymphoid reactions in TB can mimic malignancy.
    • Awareness of this mimicry is essential for accurate diagnosis and appropriate patient management.
