Lymphography in malignant histiocytosis: case report

Malignant histiocytosis is an uncommon, progressive disease with a poor prognosis which is characterized by malaise, fever, lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly. Lymphadenopathy is commonly present at presentation as well as during the course of the disease. The lymphographic findings in this case report were very similar to those encountered in malignant lymphoma, a not unexpected situation since the clinical and pathological resemblances to histiocytic lymphoma are striking.
