Florid epithelioid cell and sarcoid-type reaction associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Abstract
Five patients suffering from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma associated with an intense infiltration of epithelioid histiocytes and even sarcoid-type granulomas in the involved tissue are described. A similar tissue reaction, at both involved and uninvolved sites, has been described in patients with Hodgkin's disease. The cause of this reaction may be immunological; its prognostic significance still awaits elucidation. In the case of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, it may cause difficulty in diagnosis of lymphoma and hence may result in unnecessary delay in the initiation of therapy.
