Abstract
This report describes the case of a patient with a mesenteric lymphoid mass with clinical and histologic features suggestive of giant lymph node hyperplasia (GLH) who died as a result of complications related to systemic amyloidosis. To our knowledge, this is only the second case of amyloidosis associated with a benign mesenteric lymphoid mass reported in the literature. The possible relationship of amyloid with GLH will be discussed.Keywords
