We report an autopsy case of a malignant neutrophil-rich anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), which was reactive to the monoclonal antibody Ki-1 (CD30). This subtype of Ki-1 ALCL containing many neutrophils was named by Mann and colleagues in 1995, and its clinical and pathological characteristics have not been well described. In our case, the patient died 2 months after he first noticed an abdominal skin tumor. It was difficult to make the exact diagnosis of malignant lymphoma because the histological examination showed very poorly differentiated tumor cells. Ultrastructural observations revealed nuclei with convoluted contours and, sometimes, deep indentations, which suggested ALCL. Immunohistologically, most neoplastic cells were reactive with Ki-1 (CD30), leukocyte common antigen (LCA), and CD45RO (UCHL-1), and we confirmed Ki-1 ALCL. When we encounter poorly differentiated tumors on light microscopy, we should perform immunohistochemistry for hematological markers, such as LCA and Ki-1.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D017728 Lymphoma, Large-Cell, Anaplastic A systemic, large-cell, non-Hodgkin, malignant lymphoma characterized by cells with pleomorphic appearance and expressing the CD30 ANTIGEN. These so-called "hallmark" cells have lobulated and indented nuclei. This lymphoma is often mistaken for metastatic carcinoma and MALIGNANT HISTIOCYTOSIS.
