AIMS AND BACKGROUND The histopathological picture of mycosis fungoides can be characterized by heavy reactive infiltrates. These are rarely composed of B lymphocytes with formation of reactive follicles. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN We collected three cases of mycosis fungoides with a reactive B-cell lymphofollicular reaction at the bottom of the epidermotropic infiltrate. RESULTS Case 1 showed...

although the diagnostic category of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ascus) has been known since 1988, its use and appropriate clinical follow up and management still remains controversial. this study was carried out to evaluate the diagnostic value of ascus, using cytohistologic correlation. a retrospective review of archival materials in our cytology laboratory files was ...

Nine malignant mesotheliomas and 12 specimens of benign reactive mesothelial hyperplasia were examined using a specific antimesothelial cell antibody. Immunostaining intensity was subsequently estimated by means of image analysis. The mean and standard deviation of integrated optical density in the malignant mesotheliomas differed significantly from those in the mesothelial hyperplasias. In all...
