چکیده
A 30-year-old woman presented with multiple swellings in the neck associated with febrile illness of 3 months' duration. She also complained of nasal blockade. The swellings were non-tender, non-matted with about 4-5 cm in size. CT scan of nose and paranasal sinuses revealed a mass in the right nasal cavity. Histopathology from cervical lymph nodes which showed large clusters of mononuclear foamy histiocytes-emperipolesis of lymphocytes or lymphophagocytosis was seen in some cells. The patient was treated with antibiotics and prednisolone.
