What Are Neoplastic Proliferations of White Cells?

Neoplastic Proliferations of White Cells
(A) Diffuse neoplastic proliferation of atypical lymphoid cells showing infiltration of blood vessel walls (star). (B) The lymphoma is flanked by areas of frank necrosis, typical for NK/T-cell lymphoma. (C) High-power view: medium-sized elongated and angulated cells admixed with larger cells showing distinct nucleoli. (D) High-power view: angiocentric/angiodestructive growth pattern (arrow).

Neoplastic proliferations of white cells refer to an abnormal increase in growth and number of white cells. Common examples include myeloid neoplasms, lymphoid neoplasms, and langerhans cell histiocytosis.
