Enter into sub capsular sinus Branch Terminate at concavity or hilum as efferent
lymphatic vessel

Spleen
Secondary lymphoid organ Fetal life: Active blood formation Adults –mainly filtration organ filters bl.stream of all foreign elements

Functions of spleen
Filtration of blood –Culling destroys abn RBC + old RBCs
-Pitting –removal of granular inclusions from RBCs eg HJ bodies
Immune function: contributes to CMI & humoral immunity
Source of lymphoreticular cells & sometimes haematopoeitic cells

THYMUS
The thymus gland is a complex lymphoreticular organ lying within the mediastinum.
At birth, the gland weighs 10-35 gm and grows in size upto puberty, following which
there is progressive involution in the elderly. In the adult, thymus weighs 5-10 gm.
![Page 95: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
The gland consists of right and left encapsulated lobes, joined together by fibrous connective tissue.
Connective tissue septa pass inwards from the capsule and subdivide the lobe into large number of lobules
![Page 96: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
The histologic structure of the lobule shows outer cortex and inner medulla.
Both cortex and medulla contain two types of cells:
epithelial cells : Polygonal in cortex & spindle shaped in medulla
lymphocytes (thymocytes).
![Page 97: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Epithelial cells have elongated cytoplasmic processes forming network in which thymocytes and macrophages are found.
Hassall’s corpuscles are distinctive structures within the medulla composed of onion skin-like concentrically arranged
epithelial cells having central area of keratinisation
![Page 98: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Thymocytes are predominantly present in the cortex.
These cells include immature T lymphocytes in the cortex and mature T lymphocytes in the medulla
![Page 99: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Most common primary tumour present in the anterosuperior mediastinum is thymoma.
Most of the patients are adults.
![Page 100: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Most of the patients are adults. In about half the cases, thymoma remains
asymptomatic and is accidentally discovered in X-rays.
Other patients have associated conditions like myasthenia gravis or local symptoms such as cough, dyspnoea and chest pain
![Page 101: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
thymoma
Grossly, the tumour is spherical, measuring 5-10 cm in diameter with an average weight of 150 gm.
C/S: soft, yellowish, lobulated and may be either homogeneous or contain cysts due to the presence of haemorrhage and necrosis.
![Page 102: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Microscopically, the tumour has a thick fibrous capsule from which extend collagenous septa into the tumour dividing it into lobules
![Page 103: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
Benign thymoma is more common. It consists of epithelial cells which are similar to the epithelial cells in the medulla of thymus and hence also called as medullary thymoma (spindle shaped) or a mixture of medullary-and cortical-type epithelial cells. There is usually a sparse infiltrate of thymocytes
![Page 104: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
Malignant thymoma is less common and is further of 2 types:
Type 1 is cytologically benign looking but aggressive and invades the mediastinal structures locally.
![Page 105: Lymph Nodes & Spleen](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012414/616f20fdf2e1c7575a59ef70/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
Type 2 is also called thymic carcinoma and has cytologic features of cancer.
Further subtypes of epithelial malignancy may be squamous cell type (most common) and lymphoepithelial type.
