Multicentric giant lymph node hyperplasia, plasma cell type, with monoclonal gammopathy

Tohoku J Exp Med. 1987 Sep;153(1):49-54. doi: 10.1620/tjem.153.49.

Abstract

The association of multicentric giant lymph node hyperplasia (MGLH) of plasma cell type with monoclonal gammopathy was observed in a 37-year-old man. The present case provides an additional new piece of evidence that MGLH is by no means a benign disorder but can transform into plasma cell dyscrasia or B-cell lymphoma.
