Abstract:
Lymphoplasmacytoid lymphomas (LPL) are non-Hodgkin's lymphomas characterized by a proliferation of lymphoplasmacytoid cells or plasma cells with intracytoplasmic monoclonal Ig. The LPL are low-grade B-cell neoplasms close to B chronic lymphocytic leukemia with plasmacytoid differentiation. They show an indolent course, typically affect older men, and present as a disseminated disease with predominantly nodal involvement. Nevertheless, localized forms, some of them extranodal, have been described. The cases that best represent the range of radiographic findings on X-ray, CT, and MR imaging are presented.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Primary Lymphoid Organs
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
