Infective Mesenteric Adenitis Masquerading as Relapsed Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Abstract

Bulky mesenteric lymphadenopathy and B symptoms in a patient with a prior history of relapsed histologically aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma would usually be attributed to recurrent disease. In the case described here, recurrent lymphadenopathy was found to be due to probable Yersinia infection, highlighting the need for rebiopsy of tissue in these circumstances wherever possible.
