Archives of Dermatological Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In an ultrastructural study supplementing previous histological, cytochemical and immunocytological investigations of lymphadenosis benigna cutis, the tumor is shown to consist mainly of two cell types: Lymphocytes and macrophagocytic (reticulum?) cells. The tendency to spontaneous regression is manifested on the ultrastructural level by pronounced degenerative alterations.

Zusammenfassung

Bisherige histologische, cytochemische und immuncytologische Untersuchungen der Lymphadenosis benigna cutis wurden durch eine ultrastrukturelle Studie ergänzt. Elektronenmikroskopisch zeigen sich hauptsächlich zwei Zellarten: Lymphocyten und makrophagocytische (Reticulum?) Zellen. Die spontane Regressionsneigung manifestiert sich ultrastrukturell durch häufige degenerative Veränderungen.
