Fig. 1. Comparison of normal and DLBCL-infiltrated lymph node histology.

Fig. 1

(Left) Normal lymph node after hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Note the complex and varied architecture. Arrow on the left points to a germinal center within a follicle; both are in the cortex (outer region). Arrowhead indicates the medulla (inner region). Bottom arrow shows the hilum, where blood and efferent lymph vessels are connected (Image Source: https://www.pathpedia.com/education/eatlas/histology/lymph_node/images.aspx?6 (Slide 1)). (Right) H&E staining of a lymph node that has been infiltrated by DLBCL. Note the glassy, uniform surface and complete loss of normal structures (Image Source: https://www.webpathology.com/image.asp?case=822&n=3 (Slide 3)).
