Abstract
There is a well described association between multicentric angiofollic ular hyperplasia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and/or Kaposi's sarcoma. T wo cases of multifocal angiofollicular hyperplasia and associated carc inomas and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are reported. We suggest that underl ying immunological defects in patients with multicentric angiofollicul ar hyperplasia make them susceptible to the development of carcinomas, as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma.
