Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy is a rare clinical entity, first described in 1974, characterized by asthenia, anorexia, fever, sweating, generalized lymph node enlargement, hepatosplenomegaly, rash, hypergammaglobulinemia, and often Coomb's positive hemolytic anemia. Main histopathologic findings are lymphoplasmocytic and immunoblastic proliferations, increased vascular neshwork and interstitial granular PAS positive material deposits. A lymph node excised from a woman with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy was examined under electron microscopy. Results of ultrastructural study are compared to the typical histologic pattern observed under light microscopy. Analysis of the cellularity and the significance of fibrous collagen found in the interstitial PAS positive material are commented on.

D007119 Immunoblastic Lymphadenopathy A disorder characterized by proliferation of arborizing small vessels, prominent immunoblastic proliferations and amorphous acidophilic interstitial material. Clinical manifestations include fever, sweats, weight loss, generalized lymphadenopathy and frequently hepatosplenomegaly.

D008198 Lymph Nodes They are oval or bean shaped bodies (1 - 30 mm in diameter) located along the lymphatic system. Lymph Node,Node, Lymph,Nodes, Lymph
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
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D010503 Periodic Acid-Schiff Reaction A histochemical technique for staining carbohydrates. It is based on PERIODIC ACID oxidation of a substance containing adjacent hydroxyl groups. The resulting aldehydes react with Schiff reagent to form a colored product.
