Lymphomas in the Spleen
Lymphomas in the Spleen 1/21/2014 Outline Normal histology of the spleen Lymphomas in the spleen: -Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (0.9% of B cell lymphomas) -Hepatosplenic T cell lymphoma (1.4% of T cell lymphomas) -Splenic B cell lymphoma/leukemia, unclassifiable (provisional entity) -Other lymphomas (not covered here) Case studies NORMAL HISTOLOGY OF THE SPLEEN Gross Anatomy Normal weight 150 g, SD 25 g Hilus, where it is penetrated by vessels and nerves which follow the extensive branching network of fibrous trabeculae. Accessory spleens occur in about 10 percent of individuals Following traumatic rupture, small nodules of splenic tissue may grow on the peritoneal surface as implants (splenosis) Normal spleen White Pulp Comprises the lymphoid compartment of the spleen and consists of both follicular B-cell- rich areas as well as T-cell-rich periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths. Primary and Secondary B-Cell Follicles MARGINAL ZONE Surrounds the primary follicle and the mantle zone of secondary follicles Consists of a corona of medium-sized lymphoid cells with prominent pale cytoplasm Spleen: Periarteriolar area The T cells predominate in the periarteriolar lymphoid sheath (labeled red with Leu-22/ CD43). The follicles, which tend to occur at arterial branch points, are labeled blue (L26/CD20). Sinusoids . Are lined by tapered endothelial cells separated by slit-like spaces and surrounded by distinctive ring fibers and bridging fibers . Stain endothelial markers (FVIII) PAS stain highlights the distinctive ring fibers and bridging fibers Splenic macrophages Macrophages are preferentially located in the marginal zone and red pulp cords of the spleen (labeled brown with KP- 1/CD68).

Immunology Pre-Matriculation Review Answers The answers to the questions are shown in blue text. 1. One reason that pathogenic microorganisms have an advantage in the host they infect is because they: a) have previously been encountered through natural exposure b) have previously been encountered through vaccination c) strengthen the host’s immune response d) reproduce and evolve more rapidly than the host can eliminate them e) reproduce and evolve more slowly than the host can eliminate them. 2. Examples of pathogens that cause human disease include: a) bacteria b) viruses c) fungi d) parasites (protozoans and worms) e) All of the above are examples of pathogens that cause human disease. 3. Which of the following is not associated with mucosal surfaces? a) mucus-secreting goblet cells b) lysozyme c) M cells d) white pulp e) beating cilia 4. Which of the following is not a characteristic of inflammation? a) inactivation of macrophages b) increased vascular permeability and edema c) vasodilation d) pain e) influx of leukocytes 5. Phagocytosis of either microbes or microbial constituents by macrophages is followed by the activation of macrophages and the secretion of cytokines. What are the main effects of these molecules? The cytokines released by activated macrophages have three principal effects. Some cytokines act as chemoattractants and recruit other leukocytes into the infected tissue, for example neutrophils, which efficiently phagocytose and kill bacteria, forming pus. Other cytokines act on the endothelial cells of local blood vessels to increase vascular permeability and vasodilation, thus initiating inflammation of the infected tissue. 6. Identify the different anatomical locations where hematopoiesis occurs in embryonic, fetal, and adult life.

Another body system, called the lymphatic system, aids the cardiovascular system by transporting excess interstitial fluid through lymph vessels assisting in maintain- ing fluid homeostasis. Once this fluid enters the vessels, the fluid is Tonsils renamed lymph. Along the way, lymph is filtered and checked for Cervical lymph nodes foreign or pathologic material, such as bacteria and cancer cells. Right lymphatic duct Lymphatic structures contain certain cells that initiate an immune Axillary response to abnormal materials. Without the primary immune Thymus response by the lymphatic system, the body would be unable to fight lymph nodes infection and keep itself healthy. In this chapter we examine the lymph vessels, lymphatic Thoracic duct structures, and lymphatic organs of the body, and learn how each Spleen Cisterna chyli of these components plays an important role in keeping us healthy.

Keenan Abstract The INHAND Project (International Harmonization of Nomenclature and Diagnostic Criteria for Lesions in Rats and Mice) is a joint initiative of the Societies of Toxicologic Pathology from Europe (ESTP), Great Britain (BSTP), Japan (JSTP), and North America (STP) to develop an internationally accepted nomenclature for proliferative and nonproliferative changes in rats and mice. The purpose of this publication is to provide a standardized nomenclature for classifying changes observed in the hematolymphoid organs, including the bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues, and other lymphoid tissues (serosa-associated lymphoid clusters and tertiary lymphoid structures) with color photomicrographs illustrating examples of the lesions. Sources of material included histopathology databases from government, academia, and industrial laboratories throughout the world. Content includes spontaneous lesions as well as lesions induced by exposure to test materials. The nomenclature for these organs is divided into 3 terminologies: descriptive, conventional, and enhanced.
