INTRODUCTION Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia is a benign nodular lesion characterized by marked proliferation of non-neoplastic, polyclonal lymphocytes forming follicles. The lesion is found in various organs such as skin, orbit, lung, gastrointestinal tract, and liver. However, reactive lymphoid hyperplasia in the thyroid gland is extremely rare. Here, we present an interesting case of reactive ...

Appropriate treatment of subconjunctival benign lymphoid hyperplasia (BLH) has been unclear. Most have noted poor response to oral or topical corticosteroids. Many recommend observation. Radiotherapy has been used, but there are risks of vision loss. In this case, we found dramatic response to local subconjunctival injection of long acting corticosteroids, which may represent a therapeutic opti...

Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the stomach is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder. Here, we report a 38-year-old man who presented with multiple submucosal tumors of the stomach. Histologically, the lesions were characterized by multiple discrete submucosal nodules of lymphoid cells. The infiltrates between the lymphoid follicles were composed mainly of medium-sized lymphoid cells with abundan...

Abnormalities of serum immunoglobulin levels are frequently associated with such haematological disorders as primary aregenerative anaemia, haemolytic anaemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and leukaemia (Good et al., 1962). Recently, Hermans et al. (1966) reported a group of patients with nodular intestinal lymphoid hyperplasia and hypoy-globulinaemia. We have now seen thrombocytopenia, immun...
