Cytomorphology in conjunction with immunophenotypic characterization is becoming increasingly used for the primary diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). This combination is especially advantageous for the diagnosis of intra-abdominal and intrathoracic lymphomas, since unlike superficial lesion
During immunostaining, human lymphocytes may form aggregates with activated platelets and monocytes, resulting in increased forward (FSC) and sideward (SSC) light scatter signals. Consequently, aggregated cells "escape" from the standard FSC-SSC analysis gate, thereby producing erroneous results. We
Natural killer (NK) cell lymphoma is a mass-forming neoplasm of putative NK cell lineage that typically appears in extranodal locations and has the following immunophenotype: CD2 positive, surface CD3 negative, cytoplasmic CD3 positive, and CD56 positive. We report a case of small-intestinal NK cell
