Generalised lymphadenopathy as the first manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus; differential diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disease. A report
Las adenopat铆as generalizadas son una manifestaci贸n frecuente, aunque usualmente inespec铆fica e indicativa de m煤ltiples enfermedades. Las enfermedades autoinmunes, entre ellas
el lupus eritematoso sist茅mico, pueden tener como primera manifestaci贸n dicho hallazgo;
por lo tanto se deben tener en cuenta para el diagn贸stico diferencial. En los casos que se
presentan, las adenopat铆as diseminadas encontradas cl铆nica y radiol贸gicamente, fueron una
variable de confusi贸n para el diagn贸stico r谩pido y al que se logr贸 llegar mediante el adecuado contexto cl铆nico, paracl铆nico y el estudio histopatol贸gico. Dado que el lupus es una
enfermedad potencialmente fatal, es importante reconocer esta forma de presentaci贸n.Generalised lymphadenopathy is a common manifestation, but usually non-specific and
indicative of multiple diseases. Autoimmune diseases, including lupus erythematosus, may
be the first manifestation of this finding, and therefore should be considered for differential
diagnosis. In the cases presented, clinically and radiologically disseminated lymphadenopathy, they were confounding variables for rapid diagnosis, which is reached through the
proper clinical and para-clinical context and with histopathological confirmation. Given that
lupus is a potentially fatal disease, it is important to recognise this presentation
