Abstract excerpt
We compare 30 biopsies each of Pattern 1 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL1) and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH) by immunohistology, in-situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA and T-cell receptor-γ (TRG)-clonality. AITL1 cases, more often than RLH controls, were older [median ages 61 (range 23-79) vs 46 (range 11-59) years, p < 10(-4)], non-Chinese [16/30 (53%) vs 8/28 (29%), p = 0.035],...
