Signet-ring cell lymphoma.
In a small cleaved, follicular center cell (poorly differentiated) lymphoma the majority of the cells appeared vacuolated by light microscopy. This is an example of the recently described signet-ring cell lymphoma. Immunoperoxidase staining demonstrated that the cells contained IgG/k. Ultrastructural observations indicated that small vacuoles coalesce to form the large vacuoles, which contain microvesicles approximately 50 nm in diameter.
