lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate

A lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate refers to the presence of two types of immune cells, lymphocytes and plasma cells, within tissue. These cells are part of the body's immune response, helping to fight infection or respond to inflammation. When these cells accumulate excessively or abnormally in tissue, it can indicate an ongoing immune process, infection, or certain diseases like lymphoma. In medical diagnoses, identifying this type of infiltrate helps doctors understand the nature of tissue changes and determine appropriate treatment. It is a common finding in various inflammatory and hematologic conditions.
