angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia - (pronounced) (AN-jee-oh-fuh-LIH-kyoo-ler limf-node HY-per-PLAY-zhuh) rare condition in which benign (noncancerous) growths form in the lymph node tissue. There are two main ways in which angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia occurs: localized (unicentric) and multicentric. Unicentric angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia affects only one group of lymph nodes in one part of the body, usually the chest or abdomen. It must not cause any symptoms. Multicentric angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia affects many groups of lymph nodes and lymphoid tissues throughout the body. It can weaken the immune system and cause problems like infections, fever, weight loss, fatigue, night sweats, nerve damage, and anemia. People with angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia have an increased risk of lymphoma. Also called Castleman disease and giant lymph node hyperplasia
