title: An autopsied case of T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma with general involvement.
abstract: Autoptic findings of a 77-year-old man with T-cell-rich B-cell lymphoma (TCRBCL) showed predominant infiltration of reactive T-cells with a minority population of neoplastic B-cells in liver, spleen, pancreas, adrenal gland, stomach, small intestine and heart, as well as, lymph node. DNA studies demonstrated dual rearrangement in the T-cell receptor beta (TCR beta), immunoglobulin heavy chain J region (IgJH) and kappa light chain J region (IgJ kappa) genes.
