Benign lymphoid aggregates are seen in only a minority of bone marrow specimens, but their distinction from non-Hodgkin lymphoma, particularly B-cell lymphomas, can represent a diagnostic challenge. Although criteria have been proposed to help distinguish between benign and malignant aggregates, a d

The aim of this study was to determine a potential role of lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) and T H 17 cells in the process of B cell aggregate formation in the MP4 model.
Read MoreApr 01, 2013 1. Introduction. Lymphoid aggregates, whether benign or malignant, are a relatively uncommon finding in bone marrow biopsy specimens. In many cases, identifying the neoplastic nature of the aggregates by morphology can be easily achieved; however, in instances when multiple aggregates are identified with no documented history of lymphoma, such distinction may be difficult to achieve
Read MoreOrganized lymphoid aggregates are normally found within the walls of bronchi in many species and may occur, under conditions of disease, in humans. This bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT) can be viewed as an organizing principle to explain the behavior and distribution of many pulmonary lymp

Lymphoid organogenesis is a complex process characterized by sequential events, including: (i) early interaction between lymphoid tissue inducers (lymphotoxin α1β2) and stromal organizer cells (lymphotoxin-β-receptor), (ii) development of high endothelial venules (HEVs) and homing of circulating lymphocytes, and (iii) B- and T-cell compartimentalization.

As these LA are absent immediately following menses, they may arise by division of cells resident in the EM, or by division of a

Read MoreTertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are ectopic lymphoid aggregates that reflect lymphoid neogenesis occurring in tissues at sites of inflammation. They are detected in tumors where they orchestrate local and systemic anti-tumor responses. A correlation has been found between high densities of TLS and prolonged patient’s survival in more than 10 different types of cancer.
