Figure 2. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma with a follicular growth pattern. The lymphoma forms nodules (A) that are associated with CD21+ FDC meshworks (B). This example includes both coarse CD21+ FDC and more fine/delicate FDC meshworks (arrow) in the nodules (C). In this case, the nodules were associated with proliferation centers (D). An IRF4 stain (E) highlights proliferation centers (arrows) that contain CD21+ FDC (F). (A and D, H&E; B-C and E-F, immunohistochemical stain with hematoxylin counterstain; A, B, and D, x40, C, x200, E-F, x100).
這張圖也與本病例相似,不過在描述這種生長模式的時候用的是濾泡樣生長模式。
可以看出, 對於相似的形態改變,不同的作者採用不同的描述方式,比如濾泡周或濾泡樣,其實代表同一種生長模式。
繼續搜索,還有作者稱為結節狀形態
