Abstract:
Biopsies from patients with inborn error of immunity (IEI) may pose a diagnostic challenge due to the abnormal anatomy of their lymphoid organs and the tendency for the development of lymphoproliferations in various organs, some of which may lead to the wrong impression of malignant lymphoma which may prompt aggressive unnecessary treatment. In this article we will review typical histologic findings in various IEI's described in the literature and discuss the appropriate approach to the diagnosis of lymphoproliferations in these patients by presenting illustrative cases.

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
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,...
