Abstract
The diagnosis of classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) in clinical practice remains reliant on tissue morphological and immunohistochemical evaluation. In this article, we illustrate specific scenarios that we have encountered in our clinical practice pertaining to diagnostic challenges in CHL. We begin with select presentations of morphologic variants of CHL and then discuss certain immunophenotypic deviations from what is deemed "normal patterns" of antigen expression by HRS cells. Lastly, we discuss mimickers of HRS cells, in lymphomatous and non-lymphomatous conditions.
期刊介绍:
Human Pathology is designed to bring information of clinicopathologic significance to human disease to the laboratory and clinical physician. It presents information drawn from morphologic and clinical laboratory studies with direct relevance to the understanding of human diseases. Papers published concern morphologic and clinicopathologic observations, reviews of diseases, analyses of problems in pathology, significant collections of case material and advances in concepts or techniques of value in the analysis and diagnosis of disease. Theoretical and experimental pathology and molecular biology pertinent to human disease are included. This critical journal is well illustrated with exceptional reproductions of photomicrographs and microscopic anatomy.
