INTRODUCTION - BACKGROUND: The non infectious pulmonary manifestations occurring in lymphoplasmocytic proliferations others than lymphomas are poorly understood and have rarely been the object of dedicated publications.
Viewpoints:
The purpose of this work is to review the literature of the various specific lung manifestations occurring during these malignant haematological diseases. We will also consider acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and hairy cell leukaemia, as well as malignant plasmocytic disorders such as myeloma, POEMS syndrome and Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia.
Conclusion:
During the course of lymphoplasmocytic diseases, lung manifestations are variable and sometimes require invasive techniques for definitive diagnosis.

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...
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...
