Abstract:
Diagnostic features of nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) include a nodular, or a nodular and diffuse, proliferation of scattered tumor cells, set within a background of B cells reminiscent of primary or secondary lymphoid follicles. On morphologic and immunohistologic grounds, six different patterns have been recognized in NLPHL. An additional nodular pattern of NLPHL, in which lymphocyte predominant cells reside in an environment reminiscent of lymphoid follicles and do not spread to the extranodular space, has been identified. Recently, the prognostic impact of 'histopathologic NLPHL variants', which include cases characterized by the presence of lymphocyte predominant cells outside the B-cell nodules or B-cell depletion of the microenvironment has been evaluated. These 'histopathologic variants' were associated with advanced stage disease and higher relapse rate. Therefore, assessing and defining 'histopathologic variants' patterns in NLPHL may be useful for the management of the patients.

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...

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
