This article deals with intratumoural lymphocytic response in colorectal carcinoma. It is usually just referred as intratumoural lymphocytic response.
It is also known as tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, abbreviated TILs.
General
- Finding is suggestive of microsatellite instability.[1]
- May be seen in the context of Lynch syndrome.
Microscopic
Features:
- >10 lymphocytes/0.94 mm2.[2] †
Note:
- † Greenson et al. says >2 lymphocytes/HPF, where 5 HPF are sampled with the 40x objective. Since the sample area given by Greenson et al. is 0.94 mm2, the field diameter is ~ 0.4892 mm. This field diameter corresponds to a 20 mm eye piece (0.4892 mm * 40x = 19.57 mm).
- Many microscopes in use today have a field diameter (at 40x) of ~ 0.55 mm; thus, 4 fields would be approximately 0.95 mm2.
- †† Definitions vary substantially - some authors consider lymphocytes adjacent to the tumour (in the stroma around the tumour cells) "intratumoural".[4]
