[The adenoid as lymphoid tissue].
The adenoid is part of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue and is organized in distinct compartments. The lymphoid follicles and the interfollicular zone are areas of B lymphocytes and of T lymphocytes, respectively. The adenoid may thus function both as an immunologic inductive and effector organ.
