Case 35: an unusual haematological neoplasm characterized by cells with cytoplasmic tails.
A middle aged Northern European man presented with a submental lymph node and was found on imaging to have generalized lymphadenopathy. There was bone marrow infiltration by small apparently lymphoid cells, many with cytoplasmic tails; these cells were CD56(+) and weakly CD4(+). A provisional diagnosis was confirmed by further immunophenotyping.
