[Angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. Evolution into malignant lymphoma (author's transl)]. 1980

K Donhuijsen, and H Eimermacher, and C Lunscken, and K Metz, and L D Leder

In the last years angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy (AIL) was interpreted mainly as a benign reactive lymphnode disease. Recently, the reports about a progression into malignant lymphomas have become more numerous. We present a case of a 74-years-old woman which was diagnosed as lymphogranulomatosis X at first. Four weeks later criteria of malignancy were evident. 7 months after beginning of the disease the patient died. Histological, cytochemical, cytophotometrical, electron microscopical and immunological findings are reported. With regard to the diagnosis AIL it must be kept in mind that an evolution into malignant lymphoma is not infrequent. Hereby obviously a variable differentiation can be expected.

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
