[Differential diagnosis between nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma and T-cell/histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma].
To study the differential diagnosis between nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) and T-cell/histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma (TCRBCL). ⋯ There are some morphologic and immunophenotypic resemblance between NLPHL and TCRBCL. A combination of the morphological characteristics and the reactivity of the background cells for CD57 and TIA-1 seem to reliably discriminate between the entities and should therefore help to increase the interobserver reproducibility of diagnosis in the gray zone around Hodgkin lymphomas.
