Abstract
The structure and distribution of lymphoglandular complexes of the colon are described. The cellular composition of these complexes, as detailed by immuno-histochemistry and electron microscopy, suggests that they are sites of antigen processing. Variations in structure and in the number of complexes that are found in certain colonic diseases are documented.Keywords
