A rare case of papillary lymphoid hyperplasia is reported in a 16-year-old girl. The case presented as papillomatous lesions of both palatine tonsils. Histopathologic findings revealed an unusual form of lymphoid hyperplasia. It is important to recognize this peculiar lesion because it exhibits clinical features suggestive of benign (papillomas) and malignant (carcinoma) neoplasia. Papillary lymphoid hyperplasia is a benign process, probably non-neoplastic, and easily cured by tonsillectomy.

Gastric lymphofollicular hyperplasia (GLFH) is characterized by large lymphoid nodules in the lamina propria. Its etiology and immunohistochemical characteristics are poorly understood. This study analyzed 41 canine GLFH cases, including clinical, endoscopic, histopathological, and immunohistochemical evaluations.

This study aimed to describe a case series of patients diagnosed with orbital reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) at a single tertiary care centre. A retrospective review was conducted by searching electronic medical records at Liverpool University NHS Foundation Trust (LUHFT) from 1 December 2021 - 1 December 2023, to identify all patients with a histological diagnosis. Ten patients with an orbital histological diagnosis of RLH were identified.

Introduction: In genetically predisposed individuals, exposure to aeroallergens and infections from RNA viruses shape epithelial barrier function, leading to Allergic Asthma (AA). Here, activated pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in lower airway sentinel cells signal epithelial injury-repair pathways leading to cell-state changes [epithelial mesenchymal plasticity (EMP)], barrier disruption and sensitization.

Tolerance to foreign molecules is primarily induced through three pathways: anergy, active suppression, and clonal deletion. The immaturity of gut functions, including digestion and barrier protection against foreign molecules during early infancy, is closely linked to the induction of tolerance. A significant number of undigested peptides can pass through leaky gut walls during this period, making it an opportune time to introduce active suppression and clonal deletion in the intestine.

Acute appendicitis is the most frequent abdominal surgical emergency worldwide. While luminal obstruction due to fecaliths and lymphoid hyperplasia is a common cause, parasitic infections are a rare but significant contributor. , the most common helminthic infection in developed countries, can trigger appendiceal inflammation through a mechanical obstruction or immune response.
