Systemic amyloidosis associated with a benign mesenteric lymphoid mass

V A Pilon, L G Gomez, J J Butler

    American Journal of Clinical Pathology
    |July 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Giant lymph node hyperplasia (GLH) can be associated with systemic amyloidosis, a rare but serious complication. This case highlights the potential link between benign mesenteric lymphoid masses and amyloid development.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Giant lymph node hyperplasia (GLH) is a rare, benign condition characterized by lymph node enlargement.
    • Mesenteric lymphoid masses, while uncommon, require careful differential diagnosis.
    • Systemic amyloidosis involves the abnormal deposition of amyloid proteins, leading to organ dysfunction.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a mesenteric lymphoid mass exhibiting features consistent with GLH.
    • The patient subsequently developed and died from complications of systemic amyloidosis.
    • This represents the second reported instance of amyloidosis linked to a benign mesenteric lymphoid mass.

    Findings:

    • The case suggests a potential association between GLH and the development of systemic amyloidosis.
    • Histological examination confirmed the features of GLH in the mesenteric mass.
    • Amyloid deposition was identified as the cause of systemic complications and mortality.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering systemic complications, such as amyloidosis, in patients with GLH.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific mechanisms linking benign lymphoid hyperplasia to amyloidogenesis.
    • Awareness of this association can aid in earlier diagnosis and management of patients with mesenteric lymphoid masses.
