Histiocytic lymphoma with sclerosis arising from a nodular lymphoma with a special stromal reaction. 1977

Histiocytic lymphoma with sclerosis was found together with a small nodular lymphoma in a cervical lymph node biopsy from a 48-year-old man. Since the cellular origin of this entity is unclear and its ultrastructure has not been described before, we processed formalin-fixed samples for electron microscopy, which revealed three cell types: small lymphocytes with cleaved nuclei, large lymphocytes with vesticular noncleaved nuclei, and mesenchymal stromal cells occasionally bearing desmosomes or hemidesmosomes. In addition, there was an increase of the intercellular connective tissue, which consisted of a mixture of normal and fibrous long spacing collagen fibers. The results indicate that histiocytic lymphoma with sclerosis can evolve from a nodular lymphoma, and that diagnostic information can be obtained by electron microscopy of tissue samples previously fixed in formalin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D003238 Connective Tissue Tissue that supports and binds other tissues. It consists of CONNECTIVE TISSUE CELLS embedded in a large amount of EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX. Connective Tissues,Tissue, Connective,Tissues, Connective
D003896 Desmosomes A type of junction that attaches one cell to its neighbor. One of a number of differentiated regions which occur, for example, where the cytoplasmic membranes of adjacent epithelial cells are closely apposed. It consists of a circular region of each membrane together with associated intracellular microfilaments and an intercellular material which may include, for example, mucopolysaccharides. (From Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990; Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Desmosome

D012598 Sclerosis A pathological process consisting of hardening or fibrosis of an anatomical structure, often a vessel or a nerve. Scleroses
D016403 Lymphoma, Large B-Cell, Diffuse Malignant lymphoma composed of large B lymphoid cells whose nuclear size can exceed normal macrophage nuclei, or more than twice the size of a normal lymphocyte. The pattern is predominantly diffuse. Most of these lymphomas represent the malignant counterpart of B-lymphocytes at midstage in the process of differentiation.
