Angiocentric B-cell lymphoma of the lung in an immunocompromised boy
1Servicio de Patología, Hospital de Niños, La Plata, República Argentina.
Abstract:
An angiocentric IgA-kappa bilateral pulmonary lymphoma developed in a 9-year-old boy treated with chemotherapy for 3 1/2 years for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The tumor was confined to the lungs and had extensive infarction secondary to vascular involvement. This and 2 similar reported cases suggest that compromise of the host's immune system may contribute to the development of pulmonary lymphoma in children, an uncommon site and probably labeled previously as lymphomatoid granulomatosis.

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...
