Physical examina.tion showed generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, erythematous maculopapular eruptions on the trunk and extremities, and er the matous nodules on the face. Lahoratory findings showed hemolytic anernia, arid polyclonal gammopathy. Histopathological findings of lymph node revealed typical features of AILD. I-iistopathological findings of maculopapules revealed lymphohistiocytic infiltra tion and extravasated erythrocytes around the blocked vessels, whereas histological picture of nodules on the face mirrorred that of the lymph node.
