Development of the Lymphatic System01:15

Development of the Lymphatic System

940
The development of lymphatic tissues and vessels in embryonic life begins around the fifth week. These structures originate from the mesoderm layer, with lymph sacs emerging from developing veins.
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes

2.1K
Lymph nodes are bean-shaped structures that cluster along the lymphatic vessels in the inguinal, axillary, and cervical regions. Each node is divided into compartments by a capsule that extends trabeculae inward.
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...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs01:15

Secondary Lymphoid Organs

1.9K
Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
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...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III01:31

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

409
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Area of Science:

  • Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Schistosomiasis typically affects the urinary tract and intestines.
  • Ectopic schistosomiasis involves parasite presence in unusual body locations.
  • Axillary lymph node involvement is an extremely rare manifestation.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old woman presented with a persistent armpit mass.
  • The mass was located in the right axillary lymph nodes.
  • Symptoms had been present for over one month.

Findings:

  • Histological examination of lymph node biopsy revealed granulomas.
  • Calcified Schistosoma eggs were identified within the granulomas.
  • This confirmed axillary lymph node schistosomiasis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known spectrum of ectopic schistosomiasis.
  • Highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections in differential diagnoses.
  • Suggests the need for awareness among clinicians regarding rare presentations of Schistosoma.
