Lymphocytic Infiltration

Lymphocytic infiltration refers to the accumulation of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell involved in immune response, within tissues or organs. This process often indicates that the body's immune system is reacting to an injury, infection, or inflammation. Instead of working to protect the body, these cells gather excessively, which can lead to tissue damage or dysfunction. Lymphocytic infiltration is commonly seen in autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, or inflammatory conditions, and helps doctors understand the underlying causes of tissue changes or disease processes.
