PH1028 | Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, lymph gland | lymphocytic lymphoma, histiocytic lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma | malignancy of lymph cells that have migrated outside the bone marrow to a lymph gland |
PH1029 | Phagocytosis, lymph gland | | lymph gland showing phagocytes devouring bacteria |
PH1030 | Spleen | | located on the left side of the abdomen near the stomach; produces lymphocytes, filters the blood, stores blood cells, and destroys old blood cells |
PH1031 | Thymoma, thymus | | a cancer originating within the epithelial cells of the thymus |
PH1032 | Thymus | | in the chest behind the breastbone; an organ that is part of the lymphatic system, in which T lymphocytes grow and multiply |
PH1033 | Thymus, child | | in the chest behind the breastbone; an organ that is part of the lymphatic system, in which T lymphocytes grow and multiply |
