Abstract:
Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the lung is an uncommon disease that is considered to be a benign lesion of a polyclonal lymphoid proliferation. Because of its rarity, little is known about the clinicopathologic characteristics of nodular lymphoid hyperplasia. Some researchers have questioned whether nodular lymphoid hyperplasias are truly reactive or are marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (low-grade lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) mimicking reactive lymphoid processes. We present the case of a 67-year-old woman with nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the lung and discuss the current knowledge concerning nodular lymphoid hyperplasias.

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...
