Summary
Immunodeficiency is a state of reduced ability to produce an adequate immune response due to an insufficiency or absence of antibodies, immune cells, or both. Immunodeficiency disorders can be primary (inherited/congenital) or acquired. Acquired immunodeficiencies can result from HIV infection, solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and other iatrogenic conditions, such as chemotherapy.
Immunodeficiency is associated with an increased risk of benign and malignant lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs) [1]. As a result, a wide range of clinical manifestations and diseases can develop. Pathologists may face a challenge in making an accurate diagnosis and classification of lesion tissues from these patients because of the different nature of their immune systems in this context. Therefore, it is important that the pathologist be informed of the underlying condition when evaluating specimens from these patients [1].
