A 77 year old man presented with 6-8 weeks of right sided neck pain associated with a rapidly enlarging mass, fatigue, and night sweats. A fine needle aspiration of the 7.1 cm hypermetabolic mass showed acute and chronic inflammation. The diagnostic findings on histopathologic examination of an excisional biopsy are shown in the pictures below (Figure 1: H&E and Figure 2: GMS) and were consistent with findings on tissue culture and serologic studies. The patient reported frequent trips to Arizona.
