6.24 Lymph nodule

Version française

Section of a lymphatic nodule.

This field shows a lymphatic nodule with a germinal centre (G) surrounded by the mantle (Ma).

This nodule located in the deep cortex is surrounded here by a lymphatic sinus (S).

The germinal centre of the nodule shows the following cell types: large, medium and small lymphocytes and a few macrophages (Mac). The mantle is composed of concentric layers of small lymphocytes. In this field the limit between the mantle and the surrounding diffuse lymphatic tissue is not evident.

Reticular cells (R) are labelled in the sinuses.
