The mantle zone (or just mantle) of a lymphatic nodule (or lymphatic follicle) is an outer ring of small lymphocytes surrounding a germinal center.[1]
It is also known as the "corona".[2]
It contains transient lymphocytes.[3]
It is the location of the lymphoma in mantle cell lymphoma.
[edit] Pathology
Mantle zone expansion may be seen in benign, such as Castleman disease, and malignancy, i.e. Mantle cell lymphoma.
