title: Sternberg-Reed cells with intracytoplasmic lymphocytes. Phagocytosis or emperipolesis?
abstract: Phagocytosis by Sternberg-Reed cells is a rare phenomenon. A case of nodular sclerosis type of Hodgkin's disease with large numbers of apparently vital lymphocytes in the cytoplasm of the Sternberg-Reed cells is described in this paper. The question whether this feature is the result of phagocytosis or emperipolesis is discussed.
