Lymphoid hyperplasia

=alternative name=

Lymphoid hypertrophy

Description

Lymphoid hyperplasia is the rapid growth proliferation of normal cells that resemble lymph tissue. [ [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001320.htm MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Lymphoid hyperplasia ] ]

Complications

It is one common source of appendicitis, as it may cause an obstruction of the appendiceal lumen, resulting in the subsequent filling of the appendix with mucus, causing it to distend and internal pressure to increase.
