Abstract

The distinction between classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is not problematic in most instances. In rare situations, HL may present with a sinusoidal infiltrative pattern that may mimic ALCL. It is important to use a battery of immunohistochemical stains to differentiate between these two entities as therapy and clinical behavior are different. We present a case of a young woman who presents with the very unusual intrasinusoidal infiltrative pattern.
