Are AgNORs useful in distinguishing follicular hyperplasia from follicular lymphoma?
Argyrophilic nucleolar organiser regions (AgNORs) in 28 follicular lymphomas and 30 lymph nodes showing reactive follicular hyperplasia were studied to see if they were helpful in distinguishing follicular lymphoma from follicular hyperplasia in paraffin wax tissue sections. Mean nuclear counts were greater in follicular hyperplasia (3.71 v 3.11). This difference was significant but counts over...
متن کاملIgM expression in paraffin sections distinguishes follicular lymphoma from reactive follicular hyperplasia.
The trapping of IgM-containing immune complexes (ICs) by follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) serves as an important step in promoting germinal center (GC) formation. Thus, the deposition of IgM-containing ICs on FDCs can be detected by antibodies recognizing IgM. The present investigation provides the first comprehensive report on the IgM staining pattern in follicular lymphoma (FL, n = 60), with...
متن کاملFollicular Lymphoma
The article entitled “Renal Infiltration of Follicular Lymphoma”, written by Petkovic et al. and published in one of the recent issues of your journal, was quite interesting [1]. Here we would like to emphasize some relevant points. Extranodal disease is relatively common; any organ may be involved. The most common sites of extranodal disease include the bone marrow, skin, gastrointestinal trac...
متن کاملAtypical burkitt's lymphoma transforming from follicular lymphoma
Amongst follicular lymphoma that transforms into a high-grade lymphoma, majority are diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Here we reported a rare atypical Burkitt's lymphoma transformation from an asymptomatic follicular lymphoma. Lymph node biopsy showed a composite lymphoma with infiltration of the inter-follicular areas by high grade small non-cleaved lymphoma cells amongst neoplastic follicles. M...
متن کاملPathogenesis of follicular lymphoma.
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is presented as a germinal centre B cell lymphoma that is characterized by an indolent clinical course, but remains - paradoxically - largely incurable to date. The last years have seen significant progress in our understanding of FL lymphomagenesis, which is a multi-step process beginning in the bone marrow with the hallmark t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation. The pathobi...
