Light micrograph showing cells of a human lymph node in Hodgkin's disease,a cancer of the lymphoreticular system. Hodgkin's disease usually presents by the appearance of lymph node enlargement and later by enlargement of the spleen & liver and through bone marrow involvement. Various histological sub-types exist,each with a different pattern of behaviour & prognosis. This image is of a lymphocyte-depleted pattern,which carries the worst prognosis. The dominant cell type is a pale-staining histiocyte-like cell,some with large,abnormal nuclei (called Reed-Sternberg cells). The smaller,dark-staining lymphocytes are less numerous | |
