[Minimal predominantly intrasinusoidal spread of DLBCL to inguinal lymph node]
66 yrs old female with serious illness: fever, anemia (susp. "hemophagocytic s."), splenomegaly, paraortic lymphadenopathy. Inguinal biopsy was performed. STEROIDS do not improve a situation!  
HISTO: The clusters of CD20+ Bcl6+ large atypical cells (IB and H/RS like) with lobated irregular nuclei. Similar cells in perinodal vessels. The archtecture of lymph node is completelly intact.  
VIRTUAL SLIDES: Aperio.  
PHOTOS: snapshots from VS.  
IH: Atypical cells: CD20+; Bcl2+; Bcl6+; CD10(-); Ki67 substancially high; Mum1+; CD5(-).

Thank you for being 2gether.
