ABSTRACT

Background: Malignant Peripheral Lymphadenopathy have a frequency of 18 to 27 percent. The grown lymphadenopathy are frequently in child’s. Few studies about malignant lymphadenophaty etiologies are report.
Objective: Presented the sequence of diagnosis and results on suspicious malignant nodes biopsy with pathology report.
Methods and Patients: We review medical records in a retrospective and descript study of mathirty six patients with histology diagnostic of malignant peripherical lymphadenophaty by biopsies on the period of 1990 to 2005.
Results: The pediatric age affected were 6 to 18 years. The more lymphadenophaty presented were anterior cervical node 23 (64%), posterior cervical and supraclavicular nodes 18 (48%), two node regions affected 24 (67%), and grown more than 2 cm. 29 (81%). The clinical History showed symptoms whom fever 13 (63%), bone pain and the clinical exploration presented a fixed node at 14 (38%), and hepatomegaly 10 (27%).
Discussion: The study for diagnosis of malignant peripherical lymphadenopathy begin with a correct history clinical record. That included define the biologic characteristic of a systemic, local or metastasis disease. Recognized the malignant etiologies that affected nodes on pediatric patients.
