Anaplastic large cell lymphoma presenting as a soft-tissue mass mimicking sarcoma

Mod Pathol. 1994 May;7(4):497-500.

Abstract

Anaplastic, sarcomatoid lymphomas appearing primarily in the soft tissue without peripheral lymphadenopathy create considerable diagnostic difficulties for the pathologist, as they may be mistaken for sarcomas. The clinical, pathologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of one such case are described.
