===General===
{{Main|Reactive follicular hyperplasia}}
*Many causes - including: bacteria, viruses, chemicals, drugs, allergens.
**In only approximately 10% can definitive cause be identified.<ref name=Ref_ILNP174>{{Ref_ILNP|174}}</ref>
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=Ref_ILNP179>{{Ref_ILNP|179}}</ref>
*Enlarged follicles, follicle size variation - '''key feature''' with:
**Large germinal centers (pale on H&E).
***Mitoses common.
***Variable lymphocyte morphology.
***Tingible-body macrophage (large, pale cells with junk in the cytoplasm).
***Germinal centers (GCs) have a crisp/sharp edge.
***Normal dark/light variation of GCs; superficial aspect light, deeper aspect darker.
**Rim of small (inactive) lymphocytes.
 
DDx:
*[[Hodgkin lymphoma]] - with rare Reed-Sternberg cells.
*Non-Hodgkin [[lymphoma]].
**T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B cell lymphoma.
