Sinus Histiocytosis with Massive Lymphadenopathy: Report of five cases.
Abstract
Summary: The clinicopathological features in five Nigerian children who presented with massive enlargement of cervical and other lymph nodes due to sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy are reported. The pre-biopsy diagnosis in each case was malignant lymphoma or tuber culosis. None of the patients responded to antibiotics or antituberculous drugs. Attention is drawn to the remarkably good general condition of the patients inspite of the protracted course of the disease and the need to recognise its benign although frightful nature.
