The Histopathologic and Molecular Basis for the Diagnosis of Histiocytic Sarcoma and Histiocyte–Associated Lymphoma of Mice

Abstract excerpt

Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) and histiocyte-associated lymphoma (HAL) of mice are difficult to distinguish histologically. Studies of multiple cases initially diagnosed as HS or HAL allowed us to define HS as round, fusiform, or mixed cell types that were F4/80+, Mac-2+, and PAX5-; that lacked markers for other sarcomas; and that had immune receptor genes in germline configuration.
