Lymphoid Aggregates??

Lymphoid Aggregates??

Hello

I recently had a colonoscopy and the pathology reports states I had a "mild lymphoid reaction".  Biopsy showed many fragments with scattered lymphoid aggregates and lymphoid follicles....no IBD.  Does anyone know what this means??

Lymphoid aggregates are an area within the tissues of immune precursor cells. Depending on where someone takes the biopsies from, all of us have them. They can be more numerous is disease states - something may stimulate the cells to proliferate and function against 'invaders.'

This report doesn't really say much. It's suggesting a mild immune reaction against 'something.' But no definitive information is given.
