Biopsy
Biopsy
- Lymph node or extranodal tissue biopsy is diagnostic of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.[1][2][3][4]
- Biopsy findings vary in morphologic features depending on the specific subtype.
- The abnormal lymphocytes in the lymph node, bone marrow, or extranodal sites can be subdivided as small cleaved or noncleaved, intermediate, or large cell and can have a follicular or diffuse pattern.
- Lymphomas usually alter the lymph node architecture, and the capsule is usually involved.
