Case report: lymphadenopathy, perinodal granulomatosis, and immunologic aberrations.
The authors report on a patient with an undescribed constellation of lymph nodal plasmacytosis, perinodal epithelioid cell granulomas and fibrosis as well as anti-Sm and anti-phospholipid antibodies. The illness does not meet the criteria of well-known nosologic entities, but it is thought to represent an unrecognized nosological entity within the group of undifferentiated immune disorders.
