Sinus histiocytosis, abbreviated SH, is a common finding in lymph nodes.

It should not be confused with Rosai-Dorfman disease (also known as sinus histiocytosis and massive lymphadenopathy).

General

  • Benign.
  • Non-specific finding.
  • Frequently associated with infections and neoplasia.[1]
  • Reported in association with hip replacements.[2]

Gross

  • +/-Enlargement of lymph node.[3]

Microscopic

Features:[4]

  • Sinuses distended with histiocytes - key feature.
    • Histocytes: abundant foamy cytoplasm, +/-anthrocotic pigment.
  • Plasma cells increased.

Images

IHC

  • CD68 +ve.
  • S-100 -ve.

Sign out

  • The finding is often ignored; may be signed out as morphologically benign lymph nodes.
