Plasma cells are often present and represent another subtype with the plasma cells containing IgM and IMMUNOGLOBULIN A.,NCI: A rare disorder in which growths that are benign (not cancer) develop in lymph node tissue.,NCI: A disorder characterized by lymphoid hyperplasia in the lymph nodes. There are two histologic variants recognized: the hyaline-vascular type and the plasma cell type. In the hyaline vascular type there are hyalinized vessels present in the lymphoid follicles. In the plasma cell type there is pronounced plasma cell proliferation.
