Description
Summary:	This report describes the nodal and hepatic lesions observed in a patient with generalized disorders that had been histologically diagnosed as a systemic angiofollicular hyperplasia. The diagnostic morphological findings were observed in the nodes of the axilla and were represented by diffuse marked plasmacytosis, prominence of the germinal centres, preservation of the architecture with a reactive proliferation of blood vessels and fibrous tissue in interfollicular areas.
