Abstract

A 7 year-old boy presented with cervical lymph node enlargement, fever and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. A neck mass measuring 3x2.5x1.5 cms was surgically removed. Histologically the process showed a proliferation of spindle cells, associated with a mixture of inflammatory cells and small blood vessels involving the connective tissue framework (hilum, trabecula, capsule) of the lymph node. Immunohistochemical analysis showed spindle cells positive for muscle-spesific actin and vimentin, but negative for desmin. Histochemical, Zichl-Neelsen stain was negative. With these clinical and histopathologic findings a diagnosis of" inflammatory pseudotumor of lymph nodes" was made. Inflammatory pseudotumor of the lymph nodes is a rare, recently described benign cause of lymphadenopathy. The differential diagnosis includes other reactive processes, Castleman's dissease, malignant lymphoma (Hodgkin's lymphoma, peripheral T cell lymphoma) and malignant fibrous histiocytoma. This case is presented due to its rare occurrence along with a review of literature.

Özet

Yedi yaşında erkek çocukta servikal bölgede lenf düğümü büyümesi, ateş, sedimantasyon artışı bulguları mevcuttur. Boyutları 3x2.5x 1.5 cm olan lenf düğümünün seri kesitlerinde kapsül altında, hilus bölgesinde iğsi hücrelerle birlikte inflamatuar hücreler ve damar yapılarında artış izlendi. İmmunhistokimyasal çalışmada iğsi hücreler, kas spesifik aktin (+), vimentin (+), LCA (-), CD3 (-), CD79(-), FVIII (-), desmin (-) olarak değerlendirildi. Histokimyasal yöntemle Ziehl-Neelscen (-) di. Histopatolojik ve klinik bulgularla birlikte "lenf düğümünün inflamatuar psödotümörü (İPT)" tanısı konulmuştur. Lenf nodunun inflamatuar psödotümörü Ienfadcenopatinin benign nedenleri arasında son zamanlarda tanımlanmıştır. Ayırıcı tanı diğer reaktif durumları, Castleman hastalığını, malign lenfoma (Hodgkin lenfoma, periferik T hücreli lenfoma) ve malign fibröz histiositomayı içerir. Olgu seyrek görülmesi nedeniyle literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur.
