Abstract
This review explores four Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) and lymphomas with significant diagnostic overlap: EBV(+) mucocutaneous ulcer (EBVMCU), EBV(+) polymorphic LPD, EBV(+) classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL), and EBV(+) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Each entity is compared for both overlapping and defining features of clinical presentation, morphology, immunohistochemical profile and EBV expression pattern and latency. Our aims for this review are to provide useful guidance to the practicing pathologist in the diagnosis of these EBV-associated entities.
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.
