RESUMO
Se presenta un paciente de 48 años, portador de Plasmocitoma extramedular ganglionar primario (PEGP) inguinal con los propósitos de alertar sobre esta forma inusual de neoplasia de células plasmáticas y de revisar las diferencias existentes con otras infiltraciones plasmocitarias ganglionares.

The authors describe a 62 year-old white male who was diagnosed as autoimmune hyperthyroidism and treated with methimazole and atenolol. Ten days later he showed itching, jaundice and choluria. All drugs were discontinued. The patient was given radioactive iodine. Two months later direct serum bilirubin levels reached 35 mg%. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiogram evidenced normal extrahepatic biliary ducts. The percutaneous liver biopsy showed marked cholestasis specially in the centrolobular zone with a slight infiltrate of mononuclear cells in the portal areas. Together with the liver disease the patient presented an anemic syndrome. Bone marrow aspiration showed rich cellularity, Perls staining showed 70% sideroblasts, with 10% ringed sideroblasts and increased extracorpuscular iron. The patient's evolution was satisfactory. Twenty months after the beginning of the disease clinical and biochemical tests were normal. A new bone marrow aspiration rendered normal. Hepatic cholestasis suffered by our patient was probably due to an adverse reaction of methimazole. Physiopathology of reversible sideroblastic anemia is discussed.

RESUMO
Se presenta un caso de linfadenopatia angioinmunoblastica, entidad de reciente reconocimiento y de importante diagnostico, tanto por su diferenciacion de otros linfoproliferativos como por su peculiar evolucion. En nuestro caso se destaca la edad del paciente, que se aparta de las medias habituales y su vinculacion con otro proceso autoinmune como es la colitis ulcerosa. Por otra parte, se pone en evidencia el antecedente de ingesta de sulfamidas, hecho ya senalado por otros autores y la mejoria del paciente ante la corticoterapia instituida
