Tissue pathology

Mouse # Lymph Nodes (LN) Spleen (Weight) Mass/Tumor Diagnosis
414 A lot of vasculature with perivascular lymphocyte accumulation; secondary follicles forming around perivascular lymphoid sheet Preserved architecture (120mg) None Lymphoid hyperplasia
424 Many secondary follicles Splenic architecture not disrupted, appears less well defined probably due to staining contrast (130 mg) Liver mass - appears to be a normal liver tissue with few lymphoid aggregates Lymphoid hyperplasia
428 Atypical morphology with loss of architecture: atypical cells, signs of apoptosis Disrupted architecture - expansion of white pulp; large atypical lymphocytes with frequent mitosis and apoptosis (300 mg) Liver mass - abscess within normal liver tissue;
Mesenteric mass - lymphoma tissue, no architecture, increased cellularity, enlarged cells, mitosis;
Adrenal mass - lymphoma tissue
Multifocal Lymphoma
429 Tightly packed follicles increased in numbers, only some secondary follicles; plasmacytoid-like cells in between follicles Disrupted architecture - loss of white/red pulp separation; presence of large atypical cells (430 mg) Mesenteric mass - lymph node with B-cell nodules B-cell lymphoma with nodular pattern
437 Lymphoid architecture effaced, secondary follicles present but not prominent; increased plasma cells but no atypical large cells present Disrupted architecture - loss of white/red pulp separation; presence of large atypical cells, granulocytes (1000 mg) Abdominal mass - squamous cyst with abscess Suspicion of lymphoma
444 Normal Normal appearance (180 mg) None
445 Small secondary follicles in mesenteric LN; prominent vasculature with perivascular lymphoid sheet - secondary follicles forming around vessels in cervical LN Similar to glycogen storage disorder, no lymphoma-related changes (170 mg) Regions of abnormally looking liver tissue contain dividing spindle-like cells and increased vasculature Lymphoid hyperplasia; angiosarcoma in the liver
470 Effaced secondary follicles in the center of the LN Normal appearance (80 mg) None Lymphoid hyperplasia
