An unusual morphological variant of follicular lymphoma. Report of two cases
Abstract:
Most follicular lymphomas can be readily diagnosed on morphological grounds by finding closely packed pale-staining follicles partitioned by scanty dark-staining interfollicular tissue. We describe two cases of an unusual 'reverse' variant of follicular lymphoma in which the nodules have dark-staining centres and pale-staining cuffs due to concentration of centroblasts at the periphery of the neoplastic follicles. Recognition of this unusual pattern of follicular lymphoma is important, to avoid confusion with progressive transformation of germinal centres or nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease.

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...
