Phenytoin Induced Lymphoid Aggregates in Bone Marrow Biopsy: An Incidental Finding
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Phenytoin is a highly effective anticonvulsant agent. The side effects of phenytoin continue to create significant morbidity. Patients receiving phenytoin may develop benign lymphoid hyperplasia, pseudolymphoma, pseudopseudolymphoma, or, rarely, malignant lymphoma. Obtaining a history of phenytoin use is crucial in the diagnosis of such patients.
