| lymphocytosis | A condition in which the blood contains an unusually high number of normal lymphocytes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| lymphocytotoxic antibodies | Antibody's specific for histocompatibility antigens of lymphocytes and which, upon combining with the antigens, induce cellular damage or death. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphoderma | A condition resulting from any disease of the cutaneous lymphatic vessels. Origin: Lympho-+ G. Derma, skin (05 Mar 2000) |

| lymphoedema | <dermatology, oncology> Swelling of the subcutaneous tissues caused by obstruction of the lymphatic drainage. It results from fluid accumulation and may arise from surgery, radiation or the presence of a tumour in the area of the lymph nodes. (14 Oct 1997) |
| lymphoepithelial cyst | A cervical cyst arising from salivary gland epithelium entrapped in lymph nodes during embryogenesis. Also seen within the oral cavity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphoepithelioma | <tumour> A poorly differentiated radiosensitive squamous cell carcinoma involving lymphoid tissue in the region of the tonsils and nasopharynx; composed of irregular sheets, or small groups, of neoplastic epithelial cells (squamous or undifferentiated), with a slight to moderate amount of fibrous stroma that contains numerous lymphocytes; metastasizes at an early stage to cervical lymph nodes. Origin: Lympho-+ epithelium + -oma, tumour (05 Mar 2000) |

| lymphogenous | 1. Originating from lymph or the lymphatic system. Synonym: lymphogenic. 2. Producing lymph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphogenous metastasis | See: metastasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphoglandula | <anatomy> Small bean-shaped organ made up of a loose meshwork of reticular tissue in which are enmeshed large numbers of lymphocytes, macrophages and accessory cells located along the lymphatic system. Recirculating lymphocytes leave the blood through the specialised high endothelial venules of the lymph node and pass through the node before being returned to the blood through the lymphatic system. Because the lymph nodes act as drainage points for tissue fluids, they are also regions in which foreign antigens present in the tissue fluid are most likely to begin to elicit an immune response. Nodes filter out bacteria or cancer cells that may travel through the lymphatic system. Synonym: lymph glands. (14 Oct 1997) |
| lymphogranuloma | 1. Old non-specific term used with reference to a few basically dissimilar diseases in which the pathologic processes result in granulomas or granuloma-like lesions, especially in various groups of lymph nodes (which then become conspicuously enlarged). 2. Old term for Hodgkin's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |

| lymphocyte-associated virus |
