Rate of Dyserythropoiesis-like Nuclear Changes in Erythroid Precursors in Bone Marrow
Dyserythropoiesis-like post-mortem changes in erythroid precursors at autopsy can look similar to certain kinds of pathologic processes. Objective: This study is to evaluate nuclear changes in erythroid precursors in marrow aspirate smears and histologic sections at different intervals...
Primary Testicular NK/T-cell Lymphoma presented as testicular abscess: A Case Report and Literature Review of 33 cases
Primary testicular NK/T-cell lymphoma is rare. We report a 61-year-old Thai man who presented with right testicular abscess clinically but tissue obtained from incision and drainage was proven to be NK/T-cell lymphoma. The lymphoma cells were small to medium in size and showed angiocentricity with associated necrosis. The lymphoma cells were CD3+...
CD43 Expression in Malignant Melanoma: A Diagnostic Pitfall
CD43 is commonly concerned as a marker for hematopoietic cells and, at times, a preferential T-cell marker. However, a number of non-hematologic cancers, mostly carcinoma, can express CD43. Recently, a case of malignant melanoma mimicking malignant lymphoma by cytomorphology was reported to express CD43 as well as melanoma markers but the other hematologic...
Transformation in Malignant Lymphoma: Morphologic Approach
Morphologic approach is still very crucial to detect transformation in malignant lymphoma. With the knowledge of each malignant lymphoma type, especially the clinical course, a number of lymphoma can have histologic progression as evidence of transformation as follow: large cell transformation, blastic transformation, and histiocytic...
