What is a Russel Body?
What condition is associated with them?
An inclusion in a plasma cell whose cytoplasm is filled and enlarged with eosinophilic structures. The nucleus is eccentric or absent.
Associated with B cell lymphomas
What is Diffuse type granulomatous inflammation?
Epitheliod cells are RANDOMLY distributed against a BG of lymphocytes and plasma cells
What is Discrete type granulomatous inflammation?
Nodules/ Tubercles form due to accumulation of epitheliod or giant cells surrounded by a narrow rim of lymphocytes or plasma cells
What is Zonal type granulomatous inflammation?
Central area of necrosis surrounded by a pallisade of epitheliod cells.
In addition PMNs, langhan’s giant cells and macrophages are in turn surrounded by plasma cells and lymphocytes.
What is the characteristic cell type in Granulomatous inflammation?
The epitheliod cell (derived from macrophages or monocyte) or giant cell (derived from fusion of macrophages)
What are the types of Giant cells and describe their appearance
Langhans’ giant cell—typically found in tuberculosis and shows a homogenous, eosinophilic central cytoplasm and peripheral rim of nuclei
Foreign body giant cell—containing foreign material
Touton giant cell—has a rim of foamy cytoplasm peripheral to a rim of nuclei and is seen in lipid disorders e.g.juvenile xanthogranuloma.
