Abstract

Two distinct morphological types of malignant lymphoma in the same patient occur mostly due to transformation of a low-grade lymphoma to high-grade lymphoma. When two morphologically different structures are found at different sites they represent discordant lymphoma. Composite lymphoma, on the other hand, shows two histologic subtypes involving the same location. Bimorphic morphology of malignant lymphoma is of therapeutic and prognostic significance.
