Diffuse nodular
lymphoid hyperplasia of the gastrointestinal tract in patient with
selective immunoglobulin A deficiency and sarcoid-like syndrome--case
report.
Adv Med Sci. 2007;52:296-300.
Nodular lymphoid
hyperplasia is uncommon in adult patients. Associated diseases are
common variable immunodeficiency (CVI) and lymphoid tissue
malignancies. In this case report we focus on clinical presentation
and differential diagnosis of diffuse nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of
the gastrointestinal tract coexisting with selective immunoglobulin A
deficiency and sarcoid-like syndrome.
Nodular lymphoid
hyperplasia of the colon and terminal ileum. Case report.Lijec
Vjesn. 1998 Mar-Apr;120(3-4):62-4.
A patient
admitted to our hospital because of diarrhea and hematochesia is
presented. These complaints appeared eight months before, and were not
accompanied by other disturbances. All hematological, biochemical and
microbiological findings were normal, but endoscopic, x-ray and
histologic examination of the gastrointestinal tract showed nodular
lymphoid hyperplasia of the colon and terminal ileum. Since an
immunological derangement was not verified, this seems to be a rare
benign disorder as a response to repeated antigenic stimuli. In our
patient these were recurrent parasitoses. The treatment is not needed,
but due to the possibility of late onset hypogammaglobulinemia.
Long-term patient follow up is required. |
