- Frontal Headache
Abstract A 30-year-old woman, who, since the age of 20, had epileptic seizures, was hospitalized in 1972 because of frontal headaches, nausea, and vomiting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
In general clinical practice, a liver lesion workup is performed differently in different clinical backgrounds. [hindawi.com]
A complete clinical workup of the patient was done. Laboratory investigations revealed serum bilirubin (1.1 mg/dl); direct (0.6 mg/dl); alkaline phosphatase 208 IU/L; ALT 64IU/L. [cancerjournal.net]

Intraparenchymal lymph nodes Intrapulmonary lymph nodes are often identified incidentally during imaging performed for the workup of other disorders since patients are usually asymptomatic. [pulmonologyadvisor.com]
The diagnosis of LV requires a full workup including a detailed history and a thorough physical examination. Due to its myriad forms, a high index of suspicion is the key to making the diagnosis. [oatext.com]
X-Ray
- Multiple Pulmonary Nodules
Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia Chest x-ray or CT will reveal a single or multiple pulmonary nodules or masses. Approximately a third of patients may have multiple lesions that may have ill-defined borders or be well-demarcated on CT. [pulmonologyadvisor.com]
Treatment
Spine surgeons should be aware of this diagnosis as it has treatment and follow-up implications that differ from the neoplasms it can mimic. Complete surgical excision is an effective treatment for solitary lesions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
Generalized or multicentric disease indicates a poor prognosis with short survival, with the neuropathic variant possessing resistance to steroids and chemotherapy and a corresponding worse prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] localized to a single group of lymph nodes (unicentric) or may involve many lymph nodes and organs containing lymphoid tissue (multicentric) Enlarged lymph nodes are a common feature of this disease, and the diagnosis is usually made by a tissue biopsy The prognosis [dovemed.com]

Abstract Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia is a disease of unknown etiology in which two distinct histologic forms are recognized: the hyalin vascular and the plasma-cell types. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is necessary to complete with exhaustive etiology investigation in front of this clinical presentation. [endocrine-abstracts.org]
