Abstract
The overlapping features of malignant lymphomas create a diagnostic "grey zone" , and lead to the invention of "grey zone lymphomas". There are several major grey zone lymphomas: 1) Lymphomas with overlapping features of Hodgkin lymphoma and large B-cell lymphoma; 2) Lymphomas with overlapping features of Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; 3) Lymphomas with overlapping features of nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma and T-cell/histiocyte rich large B-cell lymphoma; 4) Lymphomas with overlapping features of Hodgkin lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL); 5) T-cell classical Hodgkin lymphoma and ALCL-HL. The second review of this series will be dedicated to discussion of the "grey zone" features of the lymphomas and how to narrow down the "grey zone" between those lymphomas.Entities:
