Massive Simple Sinus Dilation of the Lymph Nodes: a Report of 4 Cases

目的 初步探讨淋巴结单纯性窦扩张 (SSD)的病理诊断意义。方法 观察 4例显著SSD淋巴结的背景性病变 ,了解其病变特点。结果 4例显著SSD的背景性病变皆为恶性肿瘤 ,非霍奇金淋巴瘤和转移癌各 2例。结论对于呈现显著SSD的淋巴结 (尤其是重度者 ) ,应注意仔细观察其背景性病变 。

Objective To initiate inquiries of massive simple sinus dilation (MSSD) of the lymph nodes about its significance in diagnostic pathology. Methods The background lesions of MSSD and its significance were analyzed in 4 cases. Results The background lesions of all the 4 cases were malignant tumors: 2 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and 2 metastatic carcinomas.
