- Inflammation
Lymphangitis refers to an inflammation of the lymphatic vessels. Haemal Lymph Nodes These occur in ruminants only and their functional significance unclear. [en.wikivet.net]
It is thought that the histogenesis of the lesion is related to chronic inflammation rather than to a hamartoma. Get access to the full text of this article [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]
[…] lymphocytes. aplastic lymph, corpuscular lymph lymph that contains an excess of leukocytes and does not tend to become organized. euplastic lymph, fibrinous lymph that which tends to coagulate and become organized. inflammatory lymph lymph produced by inflammation [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
The reasons for the development of a benign lymphoma are not completely understood, but it is thought that it may be related to environmental toxins like radiation exposure, genetics, certain dietary habits, stress, local trauma or injuries, and inflammation [lymphomanewstoday.com]
The liver tissue surrounding the lesion had considerable chronic lymphoplasmacytic portal inflammation. [hindawi.com]
- Pathologist
It appears that although the pathologist can rather well appreciate the probable development of malignant lymphoma in AH cases, he is wrong too often--in this series 16%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Whenever a malignant diagnosis is being considered benign reactive disorders must be ruled out by an experienced pathologist. This is the final page of the Benign White Cell Disorders. The next page begins the Leukemia section. [med-ed.virginia.edu]

The pathologist looks at the size, shape, andarrangement of the cells in the lymph node. [medigoo.com]
In summary, I would review histologic findings with pathologist asking about Kikuchi’s disease, Castleman’s disease and verification of lack of evidence for mycobacteria. [aaaai.org]
- Disability
The neuropathies were severe and disabling. Clinical courses have been variable with some responses to therapy with steroids and alkylating agents. No neoplastic transformations have occurred. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Giant plaque of lupus vulgaris on the gluteal region Although regional lymphadenopathy is not uncommon [44], in rare cases when the lymph nodes have been destroyed due to intense tissue reaction, the patients develop lymphedema. [oatext.com]

- Nausea
Abstract A 30-year-old woman, who, since the age of 20, had epileptic seizures, was hospitalized in 1972 because of frontal headaches, nausea, and vomiting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

That was what caused the coughing and vomiting, he added. He then told us that some 60% of said liquid in the sack had been removed and part of it sent to a lab for testing, to identify exactly what it was. [wagwalking.com]

- Muscle Weakness
Prednisone, a corticosteroid pill, is often used to treat lymphoma and CD.Side effects of corticosteroids can include increased blood sugar that may lead to diabetes, depression, reduced resistance to infections, weakened bones, fatigue, muscle weakness [medigoo.com]
weakness, or unusual rash may indicate the possibility of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, or dermatomyositis. [aafp.org]

Discussion Follicular lymphoid hyperplasia of the hard palate is an uncommon, poorly understood entity which may be confused clinically and histologically with malignant lymphoma. [omicsonline.org]
Kikuchi necrotizing histiocytic lymphadenitis is an example of a benign process with extensive necrosis, which may easily be confused with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. [nature.com]
Sinus histiocytosis Should not be confused with sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, also known as Rosai-Dorfman disease. Kikuchi disease AKA histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis (HNL). [6] AKA Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease. [librepathology.org]
- Hyperactivity
Clinical examination revealed a right cerebellar syndrome; gamma-encephalogram showed a focus of subtentorial hyperactivity; iodoventriculography showed a deformation of the aqueduct. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They observed reactions ranging between 0 and 30 mm in normal healthy adults. [19] A strongly positive PPD reaction of >15 mm has been considered of diagnostic value by Bravo et al. [1] A hyperactive skin test in our patient was the only finding suggesting [ijmm.org]
Workup
In general clinical practice, a liver lesion workup is performed differently in different clinical backgrounds. [hindawi.com]
A complete clinical workup of the patient was done. Laboratory investigations revealed serum bilirubin (1.1 mg/dl); direct (0.6 mg/dl); alkaline phosphatase 208 IU/L; ALT 64IU/L. [cancerjournal.net]

Intraparenchymal lymph nodes Intrapulmonary lymph nodes are often identified incidentally during imaging performed for the workup of other disorders since patients are usually asymptomatic. [pulmonologyadvisor.com]
The diagnosis of LV requires a full workup including a detailed history and a thorough physical examination. Due to its myriad forms, a high index of suspicion is the key to making the diagnosis. [oatext.com]
Treatment
Spine surgeons should be aware of this diagnosis as it has treatment and follow-up implications that differ from the neoplasms it can mimic. Complete surgical excision is an effective treatment for solitary lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia is a disease of unknown etiology in which two distinct histologic forms are recognized: the hyalin vascular and the plasma-cell types. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
