Introduction: The discovery of peripheral lymphadenopathy is a frequent reason for consultation and hospitalization in Internal Medicine. The aim of this article is to review through three cases the etiologies of chronic lymphadenopathy rarely reported in a tropical environment. Observations: The first patient is a 62-year-old man who has been infected with HIV-1 for 14 years and who had a multicenter form of Castleman disease. The diagnosis was confirmed after 3 histological lymph nodes. The progression was favorable under Etoposide-based chemotherapy. The second observation is about a 38-year-old woman with a 2-month chronic febrile adenopathy without improvement after anti-tuberculosis treatment. The diagnosis of Kikuchi Fujimoto disease, in its necrotizing form, was confirmed in histology. The evolution was made favorable by the corticosteroid therapy. The third observation is about a 63-year-old woman with an enlargement of groups of lymph nodes, liver, and spleen. This tumoral syndrome was associated to an exudative ascites and a Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS). The initial diagnosis was a multifocal tuberculosis based on a set of evidence (exudative lymphocytic ascites, epidemiological context and a positive Quantiferon TB test). The first ganglionic histology was not contributory. It was the second ganglionic histology that indicated the diagnosis of lymph node plasmocytoma revealing a myeloma. The patient died of septic shock. Conclusion: In tropical environment, the etiologies of chronic lymphadenopathy are not limited to tuberculosis and malignant haemopathies. Carrying out ganglionic histology is an absolute necessity.

Plasmacytomas are a rare spectrum of plasma cell neoplasms that are single localized tumours, lacking the clinical features of plasma cell myeloma with no radiographical evidence of additional plasma cell tumours. Two clinical variants of plasmacytomas can be distinguished: solitary plasmacytoma of bone and extramedullary (or extraosseous) plasmacytoma. The latter is rare, representing 1% of all plasma cell neoplasms, occurring most frequently in the upper airways. Ovarian localization is exceptional, with only a few cases being reported in the literature. We herein report a case of an ovarian extramedullary plasmacytoma occurring in a 56-year-old woman who consulted for abdominal pain and abdominal mass, while highlighting the main histological and immunohistochemical features of this rare malignancy, along with a thorough review of literature gathering all cases of ovarian plasmacytomas reported to date.

“…Thus, all tissues can be affected with some localization more frequent than others (skin, liver, breast, kidney, lymph nodes, and central nervous system (CNS)). The location at the tongue is very rare and was limited to a few reported cases [15–18]. This location is even rarer when it is associated to symptomatic MM.…”
