Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) is a lymphoproliferative lesion, most commomly seen in the tongue (so-called foliate papillitis) and the palate. We report here a case of RLH associated with a fibroma in a 41-year-old woman. Clinically, the patient presented with a slightly irritated, inflamed lesion associated with a polyp-like mass in the postero-lateral border of the tongue. The lesions were surgically removed, and appeared microscopically as aggregates of lymphoid tissue and a fibroma. To confirm the benign nature of the lymphoid proliferation, the distributions of T-, B-cells and macrophages in the lymphatic nodule were examined using an immunohistochemical method. The histological and immunohistochemical features corresponded to those of reactive rather than neoplastic proliferation of lymphocytes. Sixteen months after surgery, the patient is without evidence of a residual mass or recurrence
