Article Abstract
A diagnosis of plasma cell myeloma was made in a 6-year-old Holstein cow that showed continuous nosebleed, progressing emaciation, and hyperglobulinemia. Necropsy revealed enlargement of the caudal mesenteric lymph nodes. Lymph nodes and spleen were infiltrated by neoplastic plasma cells. Renal lymph nodes, bone marrow, and kidneys also were affected. Amyloid-like material that was negative for Congo red was present in most of the affected lymph nodes. Congo red-positive amyloid material was noted in spleen, kidneys, liver, and adrenal glands. Neoplastic plasma cells exhibited immunohistochemical reactions for lambda-light chain and 3 classes of heavy chain but not for kappa-light chain. Nonamyloid deposits were labeled with antisera against lambda-light chain and heavy chains. Plasmacytoid cells, which stained positively for IgG, IgM, or IgA, were intermingled in all lesions. Production of 3 types of immunoglobulins may be caused by heavy-chain class switching, constantly occurring in certain proportions.

Background: Metastases in the lateral pelvic lymph nodes or mesenteric lymph nodes represent distinct categories of mid-low rectal cancer. This study investigated the patterns of mesenteric and lateral pelvic lymph node metastases in mid-low rectal cancer; the survival benefit of postoperative treatment was also analysed in these groups.
Methods: This retrospective multicentre study included consecutive patients with mid-low rectal cancer who underwent total mesorectal excision with lateral pelvic lymph node dissection in three Chinese institutions between 2012 and 2020.

The regulation of follicular (F) and germinal center (GC) immune reactivity in human lymph nodes (LNs), particularly during the acute stages of viral infection, remains poorly understood: We have analyzed lung-draining lymph nodes (LD-LNs) from COVID-19 autopsies using multiplex imaging and spatial transcriptomics to examine the immune landscape with respect to follicular immune reactivity. We identified three groups of donors based on the Bcl6 prevalence of their Reactive Follicles (RFs): RF-Bcl6no/low, RF-Bcl6int, and RF-Bcl6high. A distinct B/TFH immune landscape, associated with increased prevalence of proliferating B-cell and TFH-cell subsets, was found in RF-Bcl6high LD-LNs.

Enteroinvasive bacterial pathogens are responsible for an enormous worldwide disease burden that critically affects the young and immunocompromised. is a gram-negative enteric pathogen closely related to the plague agent that colonizes intestinal tissues, induces the formation of pyogranulomas along the intestinal tract, and disseminates to systemic organs following oral infection of experimental rodents. Prior studies proposed that systemic tissues were colonized by a pool of intestinal replicating bacteria distinct from populations within Peyer's patches and mesenteric lymph nodes.

Background: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the proliferation of B-cells. Severe hyperleukocytosis is an uncommon presentation that can complicate the diagnosis and management of MCL.
Methods: We present the case of an 80-year-old male patient suffering from MCL, who exhibited symptoms including severe hyperleukocytosis, lymphadenopathy, and significant bone marrow infiltration.
Background: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a benign, self-limited, rare disease that rarely coexists with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
Methods: We reported a case of a young female who presented with recurrent fever accompanied by painful lymphadenopathy, joint pain, and skin rash.
Results: Excisional biopsy of lymph node indicated KFD.
