A case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (B cell type)

Abstract

Malignant large cell lymphoma is a rare and new entity and its position in some classifications for example REAL classification is in the group of peripheral T-Cell/natural killer cells. This classification somehow must be modified since some of the lymphoma show B cell marker rather than T-cell marker. This report presents a case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (B cell type) in which a 70 year old man had cervical lymphadenopathy. Histological and immunohistochemical findings were evaluated.
