Immunoblastic lymphadenopathy with centrofollicular PAS-positive inclusions.
The authors describe the clinical and histopathologic picture of immunoblastic lymphadenomegaly in a 66-year-old patient with allergic antecedents. The condition of the patient ameliorated following cortisone and antibiotic therapy, but adenomegalia relapsed after several months. PAS-positive granular inclusions were found in the macrophage cells in the germinative centres of the follicles, showing the aspect of a blockade with nuclear significance.
