1873, Armand Trousseau, Lectures on Clinical Medicine - Volume 2, page 810:
Leudet and Perrin discovered submaxillary engorgement, so that we may suppose the possibility of that engorgement having existed at the commencement of the adenia, but to so small an extent as not to attract the notice of the patient.
1891, George Frederick Shrady, Thomas Lathrop Stedman, Medical Record - Volume 40, page 455:
Simple adenia occurs oftenest between the ages of twenty and thirty, then again it is frequent between fifty and sixty. Leukæmic adenia is most frequent between the ages of thirty and forty.
1895, Anton Weichselbaum, The Elements of Pathological Histology with Special Reference to Practical Methods, page 219:
Adenia, or hyperplasia of lymphatic glands leading to the formation of tumours, may be divided into a leucæmic and a simple adenia, according as it is or is not accompanied by leucæmic changes in the blood, which in the latter case is either not altered at all, or shows oligo- and poikilocytosis. The two forms of adenia may perhaps pass one into the other, and they also correspond mutually in the fact that in both the process need not remain restricted to isolated lymphatic glands, but advances from one to the other, and that, moreover, analogous growths may also occur in the spleen, the lymphoid follicles and adenoid tissue of the digestive tract, and even in organs which normally contain no adenoid tissue.
Usage notes
Although the condition was originally called adenia, modern usage prefers the less ambiguous lymphadenia.
