Angiofollicular Lymph Node Hyperplasia & Peripheral Neuropathy, Case Report & Literature Review
Arch Int Med 151:789-790, Scherokman,B.,et al, 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A man with multicentric angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia and a polyclonal gammopathy developed a debilitating sensory-motor peripheral neuropathy that resolved with plasmapheresis and immunosuppressive therapy.Fourteen similar cases have been reported in the literature; however,to our knowledge,this is the first report of successful treatment with plasmapheresis.Severe peripheral neuropathy usually occurs in the setting of multicentric,plasma cell-type disease with hypergammaglobulinemia and is often responsive to immunosuppressive therapy.
