Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia with single class (monoclonal) surface immunoglobulin

American Journal of Clinical Pathology
N LevyJ W Parker

Abstract

Lymphoid tissues from 12 patients were diagnosed as reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, but surface immunoglobulin studies revealed monoclonal (single class) immunoglobulin staining patterns. Infectious, autoimmune, and immunodeficient conditions were diagnosed on the basis of histology and clinical features. Such surface immunoglobulin restriction has been used as an indicator of a neoplastic lymphoid proliferation, but the cases of these patients, in whom the histologic diagnosis was benign, emphasize the importance of a multiparameter approach to diagnosis. Although at the time of this report none of the patients still available to follow-up study have developed known lymphoid neoplasms, the possibility that monoclonal SIg patterns are a harbinger of neoplastic disease makes continuing follow-up of such patients important.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected.
