■■■【10】Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 Figure 6.1 Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma. Even when the infiltrate extends beyond the capsule of the node into surrounding tissue, there is a tendency for the peripheral sinus to remain widely patent

 

Figure 6.2 The typical polymorphous infiltrate in angioimmunoblastic lymphoma includes plasma cells, large blasts, eosinophils and clear cells

 

Figure 6.3 The characteristic vascular proliferation in angioimmunoblastic lymphoma is caused by 'arborizing' high-endothelial venules

 

Figure 6.4 Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma. The vessels are well seen in periodic acid-Schiff stains owing to staining of the basement membranes

 

Figure 6.5 Clear cells. The neoplastic cells in angioimmu- noblastic lymphoma tend to cluster around vessels, and have clear cytoplasm with nuclei of intermediate size and variable pleomorphism

 

Figure 6.6 Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. The neoplastic T-cells express PD-1 with a membranous pattern of staining

 

Figure 6.7 Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma stained with CD21. Both CD21 and CD23 can be used to demonstrate the complex network of follicular dendritic cells associ- ated with the vascular proliferation

 

Figure 6.8 Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma stained with CD30. Scattered large blasts express B-cell markers and are frequently CD30+

Figure 6.14 Anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Other examples show more marked pleomorphism with atypi- cal mitoses. Nuclei are open and lobated and include the hallmark cells, in which the lobes form horseshoe or ring shapes (arrows)

 

Figure 6.15 Anaplastic large cell lymphoma-small cell variant. Nuclei are smaller and irregular and many lack prominent nucleoli. The cells have abundant pale-staining or clear cytoplasm

 

Figure 6.16 Anaplastic large cell lymphoma- lymphohistiocytic variant. Neoplastic cells are obscured by numerous histiocytes, some of which show erythrophagocytosis

 

Figure 6.17 Anaplastic large cell lymphoma-sarcomatoid variant. Many of the neoplastic cells have oval or spindle morphology and mimic a connective tissue sarcoma

 

Figure 6.18 Anaplastic large cell lymphoma. A sinus pattern of spread is typical of early nodal involvement

Figure 6.21 Expression of epithelial membrane antigen by anaplastic large cell lymphoma is variable and usually associated with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive tumours. The staining pattern is similar to CD30 with membrane and Golgi positivity, but tends to be more granular

 

 

■■■【12】Peripheral T-cell lymphoma NOS

 

 

 

  

Figure 6.22 The infiltrate in peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified is frequently polymorphous with neoplastic cells of varying sizes with irregular nuclei. In this example, some have clear cytoplasm similar to those seen in angioimmunoblastic lymphoma

 

 Figure 6.23 The so-called Lennert lymphoma is a peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified in which cohesive clusters of epithelioid histiocytes are prominent

 

Figure 6.24 Peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified: intermediate cell morphology. The tumour cells have irregular, small to medium-sized, uniformly hyperchromatic nuclei

■■■【13】Adult T-cell lymphoma

Figure 6.28 Adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma. In a typical case, the infiltrate is pleomorphic and many cells show nuclear folding and lobation

 

Figure 6.29 Adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma. In other examples, the infiltrate is more monomorphic and more closely resembles other forms of large cell lymphoma

 

Figure 6.30 T-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia. Leukaemic cells show nuclear irregularity and cytoplasmic blebs

 

Figure 6.31 T-cell prolymphocytic leukaemia. A low- power view of the node shows occasional spared follicles and high endothelial venules within the infiltrate

Figure 6.34 Mycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome In grade 3 involvement, the infiltrating cells include large blasts and show considerable variation in size. Many have irregular folded nuclei

 

Figure 6.35 Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL). In mesenteric nodes involved by EATL, the infiltrate is similar to that seen in the bowel wall. In this example of early involvement, the sinuses contain an infiltrate of pleomorphic cells
