A WarthinâFinkeldey cell is a type of giant multinucleate cell found in hyperplastic lymph nodes early in the course of measles and also in HIV-infected individuals, [1] as well as in Kimura disease, [2] and more rarely in a number of neoplastic (e.g. lymphoma) and non-neoplastic lymph node disorders. [3] Their origin is uncertain, but they have previously been shown to stain with markers similar to those of follicular dendritic cells, including CD21. [4] Under the light microscope, these cells consist of a large, grape-like cluster of nuclei.[ citation needed]
