• Large atypical cells with pleomorphic nuclei and abundant cytoplasm.
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
• Expression of CD30 antigen and ALK protein
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
• If with fibrosis: anaplastic large cell lymphoma may resemble ____
Hodgkin lymphoma
t(2;5)(p23;35) between the ALK and nucleophosmin genes
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
t(2;5)(p23;35)
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
• Pan–T-cell markers (CD3, CD7, CD5): often absent
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
• Proportion of cells are large with abundant cytoplasm and pleomorphic, eccentric, kidney-shaped nuclei, so-called hallmark cells
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
Cells found in Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
large with abundant cytoplasm and pleomorphic, eccentric, kidney-shaped nuclei
Hallmark cells
• One of the most common lymphomas in the pediatric population (10% to 15% of childhood lymphomas) disseminated nodal disease with constitutional symptoms
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma

2 categories of Hodgkin lymphoma
o Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma
o Classical Hodgkin lymphoma
• B-cell neoplasm composed of relatively rare neoplastic cells (lymphocytic/histiocytic or “popcorn” cells) scattered within nodules of reactive lymphocytes
Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma
do cells of Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma show EBV infection
No
- heterogenous group of lymphoid neoplasms derived from the germinal center.
- presence of relatively few diagnostic neoplastic cells, Reed-Sternberg cells, in a rich reactive background
Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma
in the United States and Europe, it is a common form of lymphoma occurring in young adults
Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma
