Mesenteric hyaline plasma cell lymph node hyperplasia with amyloid deposits
Abstract:
Lymph node hyperplasia (mixed hyaline vascular and plasma cell type) of mesenteric localization in a young woman was accompanied by noticeable systemic manifestations--fever, highly increased sedimentation rate, anemia, and hypergammaglobulinemia--that disappeared after the tumor was removed. Perivascular deposits of amyloid material were found within the tumor and in the spleen. To our knowledge, this finding has not been previously reported. On the basis of earlier studies in the literature and other considerations, an immunologic disorder is proposed as the cause of both the general symptoms and the amyloid deposits.

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...
Amyloid Fibrils
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen. In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...
