Abstract
A patient with adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) underwent lymph node biopsy as part of initial evaluation for fever of unknown origin. The lymph node histology showed a massive, diffuse immunoblastic hyperplasia, simulating T-cell lymphoma. This nodal histology differs from rheumatoid arthritis, where mostly a follicular B-cell reaction predominates. Evaluating fever of unknown origin when one is unacquainted with this massive immunoblastic hyperplasia can lead to the wrong diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma in patients with AOSD.Entities:
