Sample MCQ #2
A 20-year-old carpenter with a wound infection on his left thumb presents with an enlarged and tender lymph node in the axilla. A lymph node biopsy shows follicular enlargement and hyperemia. The sinuses are filled with neutrophils. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
ACastleman disease
BHistiocytosis X
CInterfollicular hyperplasia
DSuppurative Lymphadenitis
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. Suppurative Lymphadenitis
Acute suppurative lymphadenitis occurs in the lymph nodes that drain a site of acute bacterial infection. Suppurative lymph nodes enlarge rapidly because of edema and hyperemia and are tender due to distention of the capsule. Microscopically, infiltration of the lymph node sinuses and stroma by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and prominent follicular hyperplasia are noted. Neutrophils are not a morphologic feature of the other choices. Reference: Robbins & Cotran Pathologic Basis of Diseases 10 th edition, Chapter 13, pg 598
Sample MCQ #3
A 21-year-old female college student develops fatigue and a low-grade fever after a visit by her boyfriend, who goes to a different college in another state. During a massage given to her by a friend, her friend notes small swellings on the back of her neck. The next day, she goes horseback riding with her friends and falls from a horse onto a large pile of hay. Several minutes after the fall, she becomes unresponsive, and ultimately dies. At autopsy, of the following, which is most likely to be identified by the forensic pathologist?
AA ruptured coronary artery aneurysm
BA lacerated kidney
CA lacerated aorta
DA ruptured spleen
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: D. A ruptured spleen
The patient has signs and symptoms consistent with infectious mononucleosis, with the swellings noted by her friend being posterior cervical lymphadenopathy. Many people with infectious mononucleosis develop splenomegaly, and the spleen is more fragile and can rupture after minor trauma. Reference: Robbins Basic Pathology, 10 th edition, Pg-460-461
