Meningeal nodules with features of extranodal sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy

Am J Surg Pathol. 1989 May;13(5):406-12. doi: 10.1097/00000478-198905000-00008.

Abstract

We present an unusual case of multiple intracranial meningeal nodules in a 30-year-old man. Histologically, the nodules consisted predominantly of plasma cells, histiocytes, and lymphoid cells with Russell bodies and emperipolesis. Emperipolesis may be a clue to understanding the pathogenesis of the process that has features consistent with so-called sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy in the extranodal location.
