Secondary lymphoid nodule
Secondary lymphoid nodules consist of germinal centers surrounded by a perimeter, or mantle, of tightly packed B lymphocytes. The euchromatic nuclei and abundant cytoplasm of the large, immature lymphoblasts located in the germinal center contribute to the pale appearance of this region. This nodule is located in the lamina propria of the small intestine. 200x
