lympho Flashcards
Non hodgkin
Haphazard mode of spread
Leukemia phase
Involves extranodal sites
Secondary site of production of lymphocytes
Lymph node
spleen
peyer’s patches
Tertiary lymphoid organs
Acquired lymphoid tissues in stomach, skin, respiratory and reproductive tracts
major cells in cortex of lymph node
B cells
major cells in paracortex
T cells
implication of expansion of paracortex
CMI response
majority of T cells are CD4+
True or false
true
which cells do medullary cordds contain
Transformed lymphoid cells and plasma cells
lypmphocytes from circulation enter node via
high endothelial venules in paracortex
do follicles in newborn have germinal centres
no
where does lymph eventually drain to
thoracic duct and SVC
LAP anatomical site and disease
Post auricular node
occipital nodes
post cervical nodes
axillary node
Rubella
Scalp infections
toxoplasmosis
infection of arm
type of lymphadenopathy in TB
Granulomatous lympadenitis
Suppurative granulomatous LAP seen in
LGV
Cat scratch disease
types of reactive hyperplasia
Follicular hyperplasia
Paracortical expansion
sinus histiocytosis
dermatopathic lymphadenopathy(xterised by lipomelanic reticulosis)
Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy(Rosai-Dorfman syndrome)
febrile disease in children and young adults. bilateral cervical LAP. some patients have immune deficiency
kikuchi disease
necrotizing histiocytic
SLE like disease
cervical LN
AIDS related LAP
Severe follicular hyperplasia
- Regressive follicular hyperplasia
- Follicular involution, progressing to
lymphocyte depletion. Helper T-cells are reduced and suppressor T-cells are increased in the germinal centres
which malignant lesions may seen in AIDS
Kaposi sarcoma
HL
NHL
On what basis do we classify lymphomas as HL Or NHL
presence or absence of Reed-Stenberg cells
lymphomas may be only nodal
false
can be extranodal
