title: An unusual pediatric lymphoma.
abstract: The diagnosis of true histiocytic lymphoma is complex. Since clinical findings are nonspecific and histopathology is only suggestive, misdiagnosis is likely. Using appropriate cytochemical and immunologic markers incorporated into a panel of studies, the diagnosis of true histiocytic lymphoma may be secured. Only with accurate diagnosis and further study can long-term, disease-free survival and curability be determined.
