Abstract
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive large B-cell lymphoma (ALK+ LBCL) is
a rare variant of LBCL with an abnormal immunophenotype, which is easily
misdiagnosed as carcinoma or plasma cell neoplasm. Here, we present two
cases of ALK+ LBCL in the lymph node; describe their clinical, pathological, and
immunophenotype features; and compare them with those of the reported cases.
