Sinusoidal lymphocytosis of the liver in Felty's syndrome with a review of the liver involvement in Felty's syndrome.
A 68-year-old woman with Felty's syndrome had massive hepatomegaly. Liver biopsy showed diffuse infiltration of the sinusoids with mature lymphocytes (sinusoidal lymphocytosis of the liver). Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver and portal fibrosis were not found. Although liver involvement is frequent in association with Felty's syndrome, sinusoidal lymphocytosis of the liver is unusual.
