  Fig. 1. (A) Lymph node architecture is totally effaced by multiple ill-defined nodules of small lymphocytes. (B) Most cells in the nodules are positive for CD20. (C) Within B-cell nodules, aggregates of small to medium atypical lymphoid cells with round nuclei and clear cytoplasm are present. (D) In double immunostaining for BOB-1 in brown (DAB) and CD10 in red (AEC), BOB-1 (–) tumor cells are diffusely positive for CD10.

• 

  Fig. 2. (A, B) Prominent clusters of epithelioid cells surrounded by small to medium atypical cells are focally present. (C, D) In double immunostaining for BOB-1 in brown (DAB) and CD10 in red (AEC), many BOB-1 (–) tumor cells are positive for CD10.

  Fig. 3. Analysis of T-cell γ gene rearrangement studies using BIOMED-2–based polymerase chain reaction shows clonal peaks at the same location in both follicular T-cell lymphoma (A) and Lennert lymphoma components (B).
