Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, micrograph
Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Light micrograph of a mixture of small lymphocytes and plasma cells from bone marrow in a case of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, also known as Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia. This cancer affects B cell lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. It is named for the resemblance the abnormal cells have to plasma cells, resulting in them being termed plasmacytoid lymphocytes. The white blood cells are stained purple, with the red blood cells appearing red

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, also known as Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. The image depicts a light micrograph of bone marrow containing a mixture of small lymphocytes and plasma cells affected by this rare form of cancer. Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma primarily affects B cell lymphocytes, which are a vital component of our immune system. The abnormal cells in this condition bear a striking resemblance to plasma cells, hence their classification as plasmacytoid lymphocytes. In the photograph, these white blood cells are stained purple while the red blood cells retain their characteristic red hue. The visual representation offers valuable insights into the histopathological aspects of this malignant disorder that disrupts normal cellular function within our circulatory system. It serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and medical professionals working in haematology, oncology, pathology, and immunology fields. By capturing the essence of Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma at such microscopic levels with precision and clarity using a light microscope, Science Photo Library provides an essential tool for understanding the intricacies associated with this disease. This print not only highlights its scientific significance but also underscores the importance of research towards finding effective treatments for such conditions that impact our body's immune response on a cellular level.
