Abstract :
[en] Cytogenetic data for T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRLBCL) are scarcely available. We report here a case of THRLBCL with a near-tetraploid karyotype and complex chromosomal aberrations, without rearrangement of BCL2 or BCL6, and characterized pathologically by a variegated morphologic appearance with areas resembling nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma (NLPHL).
