PAVITHRA T THANDAVARAYAN

Abstract


Lymphoepithelioid lymphoma (Lennerts
lymphoma) is a variant of peripheral T cell
lymphoma , not otherwise specified with
peculiar histological picture characterised
by massive proliferation of epithelioid cell
clusters intermingled with many, mostly
small-sized lymphoid cells.
Immunohistochemistry shows reactivity
with T cell markers and proliferationassociated
antigen Ki67.
