title: Multicentric angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia and associated carcinoma.
abstract: There is a well described association between multicentric angiofollicular hyperplasia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and/or Kaposi's sarcoma. Two cases of multifocal angiofollicular hyperplasia and associated carcinomas and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are reported. We suggest that underlying immunological defects in patients with multicentric angiofollicular hyperplasia make them susceptible to the development of carcinomas, as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma.
