Epstein-Barr virus association in pediatric abdominal non-Hodgkin-lymphomas from Turkey.

Recent studies have shown marked geographic variation associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in pediatric Burkitt's lymphomas and Hodgkin's disease. In the present study we investigated 30 cases of pediatric extranodal high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) from Turkey with an abdominal localisation. To classify them histologically and to determine the role of EBV in these lymphomas, immuno...
