Liver Malignancy

Introduction. Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) is a rare and benign lesion found in organs of the gastrointestinal tract, skin, lung, orbit, and more rarely in the liver. Due to its similar appearance on imaging, it is hard to differentiate from primary liver malignancies. The following is a case report of a patient presenting with a suspicious liver lesion found to be RLH associated with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), after surgical resection. Presentation of Case. A 54-year-old woman presented with nonspecific abdominal pain, and her workup included axial imaging of the abdomen that showed a suspicious lesion in her liver. After an extensive workup, which included a percutaneous biopsy, failed to confirm a diagnosis, a laparoscopic surgical resection was recommended. Discussion. RLH is a rare condition of the liver, presenting in a suspicious fashion and raising concerns for a primary liver malignancy. RLH should be considered in the differential diagnosis of small hepatic lesions in middle-age females in the absence of any significant risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). RLH tends to be associated with PBC of the liver. Conclusion. RLH of the liver is a rare, hard to diagnose, benign lesion. When intrahepatic, it cannot be easily differentiated from primary liver tumors and frequently requires surgical resection for pathological diagnostic confirmation.

Background: Enlarged lymph nodes in adult patients often present a diagnostic challenge. In the absence of granuloma or necrosis, the cytology/tissue findings are misleading and relate the enlarged lymph nodes to reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), because granuloma formation is an immunological response that usually takes 14–100 days to develop. This study assesses the role of real-time (RT)-PCR in the diagnosis of the Mycobacterium complex (MTBC) in lymph node aspirates compared with culture in cases of RLH. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 112 patients, aged 15–74 years, with a diagnosis of RLH on cytology. RT-PCR for MTBC detection and culture on Löwenstein-Jensen medium for tubercular bacilli was done on lymph node aspirates. Comparative values with reference to culture were calculated. The χ2 value, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and likelihood ratios (LR) were calculated. Results: Out of 112 RLH cases, 35 (31%) were positive on both RT-PCR and culture. RT-PCR was positive in 43 cases and culture was positive in 44 cases. The χ2 test was found to be highly significant. PPV, NPV, positive LR, and negative LR were 81.4%, 87%, 6.76, and 0.23, respectively. Conclusion: RT-PCR for MTBC proves to be useful in arriving at a conclusive diagnosis in patients with a cytological diagnosis of RLH.
