Abstract
By using lymph node imprints we studied ANAE-positive cell increasing diseases, the both malignant and benign diseases, except malignant lymphoma and non-specific lymphadenitis. In the 6 cases of malignant disease ANAE-droplet positive lymphocytes had higher percentage value than that of chronic nonspecific lymphadenitis group, and 16 cases of benign disease were shown the same result. In general, at the peripheral area of metastatic tumors in the lymph nodes many reports are indicated that lymphocytes are apt to depletion. This report might be an exceptional case group that there is rather prominent esterase-positive T-cell population. In benign disease group they are consisted of 6 cases of tuberculosis, 3 Piringer's lymphadenitis, 2 syphilis and 1 case of eosinophil granuloma, sea blue histiocytosis, infectious mononucleosis, sarcoidosis, respectively. Special diseases in malignant group were included neuroblastoma and Ewing's sarcoma. It is still obscure that ANAE-positive Tcell may have a killer effect against malignant tumor and/or specific inflammatory organism.
