Abstract
Warthin-Finkeldey giant cell is a distinctive but lesser-known giant cell of lymphoid origin, which is classically associated with the prodrome of measles infection. However, its presence is not pathognomonic for measles, and the cell has been reported in a variety of reactive and neoplastic lymphoid conditions. We report a case where Warthin-Finkeldey giant cells were found in a lymph node dissection specimen for breast carcinoma in a patient who has no concurrent viral infection or lymphoproliferative disorder.
