BACKGROUNDMalignancies in lymph nodes in our country are mostly metastatic in nature and sometimes constitute the first clinical manifestation of the disease with an incidence ranging from 65.7% to 80.4% and lymphomas from 2% to 15.3% among lymph nodes aspirated from all sites. Enlarged lymph nodes are often easily accessible, which makes Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) a very simple and important diagnostic tool for lymph node lesions.
Wolman's disease is a rare, autosomal recessive, lysosomal storage disease caused by absence or deficiency of lysosomal acid lipase. This leads to accumulation of cholesterol esters and triglycerides in multiple organs of the body. We report an rare case of Wolman's disease, diagnosed on the basis of acid lipase enzyme estimation and characteristic clinical presentation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
