A rare systemic disease characterized by acute or subacute onset of thrombocytopenia, anasarca (edema, pleural effusion, ascites), and systemic inflammation (fever and/or elevated C-reactive protein). Minor diagnostic categories are Castleman's disease-like features on lymph node biopsy, reticulin myelofibrosis and/or increased number of megakaryocytes in bone marrow, progressive renal insufficiency, and mild organomegaly including hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy. Most patients show elevated levels of serum alkaline phosphatase, while marked polyclonal hypergammopathy is rare.	Associated morphology	True	Anasarca	Inferred relationship	Some	3
