Case 15


70 yo F with cardiac tamponade and retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Cfh13 Atypical. Polymorphous lymphoid population including atypical large cells against a background of abundant histiocytes. Concurrent core biopsy: Consistent with peripheral T-Cell lymphoma with T-cell follicular helper phenotype.

hx of Li-Fraumeni syndrome- IDC grade 3 • poorly differentiated adrenal cortical carcinoma • leiomyosarcoma now with enlarged lymph nodes including left axillary lymph node Imaging showed a rupture left breast implant Est105 reactive changes consistent with a rupture implant

Case 17


79 yo M with a history of DLBCL on treatment with new retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy. Cfh13 Positive for malignant cells. Morphologically consistent with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Case 21


61 yo woman with cervical lymphadenopathy Cfh13 No malignant cells identified.

Polymorphous lymphocytes • consistent with reactive lymph node.

Prominent lymphoglandular bodies.

Case 22


74 yo F with enlarging left superior mediastinal lymph node. History of breast and uterine ca. Ndk6 Metastatic adenocarcinoma consistent with breast primary

Case 23


29M • enlarged left axillary lymph node Mlz8 Classic Hodgkin lymphoma • mixed cellularity type

Case 24


73M • enlarged right axillary lymph node Mlz8 Reactive follicular hyperplasia

Case 25


76 yo F with enlarged supraclavicular lymph node Ndk6 POSITIVE FOR MALIGNANT CELLS.

- Metastatic carcinoma with features suggestive of squamous cell carcinoma

- Atypical lymphoid population consistent with involvement by the patient's known chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Case 26


64 yo F Ndk6 POSITIVE FOR MALIGNANT CELLS - Consistent with the patient's known high-grade B-cell lymphoma.
