  1. Lymph node pathology

  2. Lymph node histology Functions Filtration of lymph Processing of Ag Differentiation of lymphocytes

  3. Secondary lymphoid follicle Germinal centre mantle

  4. Terminology • Lymphadenopathy • Lymphadenomegaly • Lymphadenitis • Lymphoproliferation • Lymphoma • Enlargement of LN: inflammation • Tumor – primary/secondary

  5. Lymphadenitisacute or chronic Classification predominant histologic pattern etiology Rarely biopsied

  6. Lymphadenitis - etiology MICROBIAL • viral • bacterial, mycobacterial • fungal • protozoal NONMICROBIAL - autoimmune storage dis. foreign mat. miscel.

  7. Lymph node inflammation Lymph node hyperplasia: 1. follicular 2. paracortical 3. sinuses 4. mixed patterns

  8. Lymph node inflammation - patterns • Follicular hyperplasia bacteria, RA, HIV(early), syphilis, Castleman dis. • Paracortical hyperplasia viruses, dermatopathies, vaccination, drug hypersensitivity, Kikuchi, SLE, draining pus or carcinoma

  9. Lymphadenitis - histological patterns • sinusoidal hyperplasia - lymphangiography, Whipple dis., sin. histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, draining carcinoma • granulomas - TB, other mycobact., leprosy, Whipple, fungi, berylliosis, sarcoidosis, • Granulomatous-purulent:cat scratch, tularemia, lymphogr. venereum,Yersinia • mixed patterns: toxoplasmosis

  10. Regressive transformation of germinal centres

  11. Follicular hyperplasia
