ALK negative Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma with granulomatous reaction in a pediatric patient: Report of a rare case
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) represents a generally recognized group of large cell lymphomas. Defining features consist of a proliferation of predominantly large lymphoid cells with strong expression of the cytokine receptor CD30 and a characteristic growth pattern. Granulomatous reaction is a rare presentation in NHL (Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma)-ALCL type. Here, we present a rare case of ALK (Anaplastic Lymphoma Receptor Tyrosine Kinase) negative ALCL with granulomatous reaction in a pediatric patient. Keywords:ALCL (Anaplastic large cell lymphoma); ALK (anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase); granuloma; pediatri
