Anaplastic large-cell Ki-1 malignant lymphomas. Recognition, biological and clinical implications. 1991

M C Kinney, and J P Greer, and A D Glick, and K E Salhany, and R D Collins

Anaplastic large-cell Ki-1 lymphoma is defined by its characteristic histological appearance, reactivity with antibodies against CD30, and possibly by a chromosome marker t(2;5)(p23;q35). Because of its pleomorphic appearance, sinus distribution, and frequent reactivity with EMA, this lymphoma is often mistaken for other diseases such as metastatic carcinoma and malignant histiocytosis. The clinical features of this lymphoma are unusual and include a young median age and frequent extranodal disease with skin being a common site. Although remission is easily achieved, relapse is common and combination chemotherapy is suggested. The role of Ki-1 antigen in normal lymphocyte function, the cell of origin of anaplastic large-cell Ki-1 lymphoma, and its relationship to Hodgkin's disease are important questions that hopefully will be answered in the near future.

Germinoblastoma,Lymphoma, Malignant,Reticulolymphosarcoma,Sarcoma, Germinoblastic,Germinoblastic Sarcoma,Germinoblastic Sarcomas,Germinoblastomas,Lymphomas,Lymphomas, Malignant,Malignant Lymphoma,Malignant Lymphomas,Reticulolymphosarcomas,Sarcomas, Germinoblastic
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

D003937 Diagnosis, Differential Determination of which one of two or more diseases or conditions a patient is suffering from by systematically comparing and contrasting results of diagnostic measures. Diagnoses, Differential,Differential Diagnoses,Differential Diagnosis
D006689 Hodgkin Disease A malignant disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue. In the classical variant, giant usually multinucleate Hodgkin's and REED-STERNBERG CELLS are present; in the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant, lymphocytic and histiocytic cells are seen.

D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D000943 Antigens, Differentiation Antigens expressed primarily on the membranes of living cells during sequential stages of maturation and differentiation. As immunologic markers they have high organ and tissue specificity and are useful as probes in studies of normal cell development as well as neoplastic transformation.
