The old I that's looking at you. The Reed-Sternberg cell is the topic of today's video, so let's get started. [Music]

The Reed-Sternberg cell is a large cell with two nuclei. Each nucleus has a prominent, eosinophilic nucleolus. Around the nuclei is a halo of clear cytoplasm, just like the hole directly looking at you. There is a Reed-Sternberg cell. It is a neoplastic cell derived from the B cell. Where is the B cell? In the germinal center of the lymph node. As you know, these cells that didn't undergo hypermutation to express their antibodies are the RS cells. Multinucleated or could be by-lobe nucleus. Our cells are CD15 positive and CD30 positive. When you see the RS cell on a background of B cells, it gives you the moth-eaten appearance. Creative pathologist, whoo-hoo!

Okay. Our cells are more easily found in the mixed cellularity subtype of Hodgkin's disease. So what do you think? Did you like this video? Please give it a like.
