Lymphoma Flashcards
tangible bodies:
apoptotic bodies
Lymphs cells that are told to die
mantle zone (outer)
naive b zone
marginal zone
memory B cells
Lymphadenopathy causes
reactive
Metatstatic malignancy
lymphoma
Reasons for reactive lymphs
Always begnin
Specific lymphadenopathy
-Granulomatous (usually TB or Cocci)
Can also be non-caseating (sarcoidosis
Specific
Acute or Chronic Reactive
Reactive LN (acute)
localized or generalized
Localized:
Ex: drainage from nearby infection
Note: children can have enlargement everywhere
Follicular w/ necrosis (PMNs) pyogenic
Foliilular hyperplasia necrosis with suppurative ganulomas (pus)
Cat scratch disease: bartonella
Yersina
Tularemia
Bubo
enlarged lymph node, drains pus out of skin
CT of abdomen with granulomas in small intestines Q
yersinia enterocolytica (appendicitis maybe)
Mesentartic LN
usually yersinia
Symptoms match acute NS LN
Chronic NS LN
enlardged, non tender:
- follicular hyperplasia
- paracortical hyperplasia
- Sinus histiocytes
are hyperplasias malignant?
NO
They are benign adaptation
- follicular hyperplasia (chronic)
B cell proliferation in apoptotic bodies in germinal centers
HIV
RA
- paracortical hyperplasia (chronic)
T cells, macrophages and eosinophils
MI, CMV, varicella-zoster
Response to viral infections
Could be a rxn from vaccination
SLE
- sinus histiocytosis (chronic)
Non malignant marcophages in node sinuses
Common cause for nodes draining cancer
Mixed Pattern Reactive hyperplasia
toxoplasmosis
Follicular and interfollicular Mphage collections
