Summary

Description
English: Very low magnification micrograph of progressive transformation of germinal centres, abbreviated PTGCs and also progressive transformation of germinal centers, in an excisional lymph node biopsy. H&E stain.

PTGCs is a reactive process of undetermined etiology, that is usually characterized clinically by localized lymphadenopathy and is typically asymptomatic. It may occasionally recur and in a small proportion of patients has been reported to subsequently develop Hodgkin lymphoma (usually nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma).[1][2]

Features:

  • Follicular hyperplasia (many follicles).
  • Focally large germinal centers with:
    • Poorly demarcated germinal center (GC)/mantle zone interfaces (as GCs infiltrated by mantle zone lymphocytes) -- key feature.[3]
    • Expanded mantle zone.
