Angiofollicular lymphoid hyperplasia in an angiolipomatous mass.
A posterior mediastinal mass was composed of angiolipomatous and lymphoid tissue. The lymphoid tissue took the form of multiple nodules with appearances similar to those of angiofollicular lymphoid hyperplasia. The findings support the view that this form of lymphoid hyperplasia may be of hamartomatous nature.
