Abstract
Cytogenetic studies were performed in a case of progressively transformed germinal centers (PTGC), and in a case of nodular paragranuloma (NP; Hodgkin's disease with lymphocytic predominance, nodular type). No cytogenetic abnormalities were detected in PTGC. Chromosomal aberrations (hyperdiploidy, 6q-, +21, and several unidentified markers) were found in NP. The results support the proposal that PTGC are reactive in nature and NP is a neoplasm. Chromosomal analysis could provide practical diagnostic aids in the differential diagnosis of PTGC and NP.Entities:
