| Popis: | The lymphoid tissue from the body plays an important role in the recognition and processing of antigens. In response to antigen-antibody reaction, lymphoid cells proliferate, increasing in number to combat the aggressor agent more effectively, resulting in hyperplasia of this tissue. A 61-year-old female patient attended a referral service in oral diagnosis because of a lesion on right jugal mucosa, fibrous consistency, smooth, painless, 1 cm in size, and lasting for 3 months. An excisional biopsy was performed, and clinical hypotheses were cyst of the salivary duct or mucocele. Histopathologic analysis revealed a well-circumscribed and encapsulated lymphoid aggregate fragment characterized by well-differentiated small lymphocyte layers and collections of reactive lymphoblasts. Macrophages were also identified by presence of phagocytic material in their cytoplasm, thus establishing the diagnosis of lymphoid hyperplasia. Currently, the patient is well undergoing preservation after 6 months. |
