ABSTRACT
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has been associated with a number of lymphoid malignancies, including endemic Burkitt's lymphoma, some classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. A 59-year-old woman underwent an excisional biopsy for a left axillary mass under suspicion of malignant lymphoma. A preoperative radiological study revealed multiple enlarged lymph nodes at the left axilla, mesentery, and the left external iliac chain with hypermetabolism on a positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan. She was histologically diagnosed with EBV-positive follicular lymphoma (FL, grade 3a) and received the R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy regimen. Herein, we report a rare case of EBV associated FL of lymph node with its review of literature.
