Characterizing an Poorly- Differentiated Malignancy
- Immunohistochemistry
– Stain slides with antibodies to proteins that are specific to certain cell types
- Electron Microscopy
– Special microscope for extremely high resolution
- Genetics

Diagnosis
- Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, involving
– Lungs (bilateral nodules) – Middle Mediastinum – Paratesticular soft tissue (bilateral) – Diaphragm – Heart
- Cardiomegaly
- Atherosclerosis, Aorta
SLIDE 25
Extranodal Lymphoma
- Lymphoma arising outside of lymph nodes
– Lymphocytes normally circulate – Found in small numbers in virtually all organs
- 25% of Non-Hodgkins lymphomas are
extranodal
- Uncommon in Hodgkins lymphoma
SLIDE 26
Common Extranodal Lymphomas
- Low Grade
– B cell
- Mucosa Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) type
– Stomach (H. pylori) – Salivary gland (Sjogren’s syndrome) – Thyroid (Hasimoto’s thyroiditis)
– T cell
- Mycosis fungoides of skin
SLIDE 27
Common Extranodal Lymphomas (cont)
- High Grade
– B cell
- Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma
– Common sites include lung, GI tract, CNS – Can be solitary or multifocal – Can be associated with immunosuppression
- Burkitt lymphoma
– Commonly involves ileocecal area in children
– T cell
- Peripheral T Cell Lymphomas
SLIDE 28
Summary-Key Points
- Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma is the
most common high grade extranodal lymphoma
- Differential diagnosis of disseminated
malignancy
- Immunohistochemistry can be used to
characterize a poorly-differentiated malignancy
