Intrahepatic Reactive Lymphoid Hyperplasia: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Figure 3

Hematoxylin-eosin stain of a section through the center of the nodule (a) shows numerous confluent lymphoid follicles composed of large, reactive lymphocytes with intervening smaller lymphoid cells. An immunostain for the B cell marker CD20 (b) shows that the follicles are composed of B cells, while the stain for the T cell marker CD3 (c) shows that the mantle zone and interfollicular areas have predominantly T cells, typical of benign lymphoid tissue.
