the pictures from this aspiration show a high grade malignant process
I am not sure this is a lymphoma

Cells are very big, there are some features of hemophagocytosis
nuclei are very big with several nucleoli

What about an histiocytic malignant tumour

An urgent lymph node biopsy is should be done
