Giant lymph node hyperplasia, a rare condition, presented with widespread lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. Despite treatment, associated systemic symptoms like gammopathy and neuropathy persisted, indicating a chronic, challenging clinical course.

Area of Science:

Hematology
Oncology
Immunology

Background:

Giant lymph node hyperplasia (GLNH) is a rare, benign lymphoproliferative disorder.
The hyaline vascular subtype is the most common histological presentation of GLNH.

Observation:

A patient presented with retroperitoneal and axillary lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly.
Histological examination confirmed the hyaline vascular type of GLNH with plasma cell infiltrates.
Abdominal lesions were unresectable and unresponsive to radiotherapy.

Findings:

The patient exhibited polyclonal gammopathy, high cold agglutinin titers, neuropathy, and bilateral papilledema.
These systemic abnormalities remained persistent three years post-diagnosis.
The constellation of symptoms suggests a complex, multi-systemic involvement in GLNH.

Implications:

This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and persistent systemic manifestations of GLNH.
Further research into the pathogenesis and management of refractory GLNH is warranted.
Understanding the long-term sequelae is crucial for patient care and prognosis.
