Table 2 Comparison of pathologic parameters

From: Comparative pathologic analysis of mediastinal B-cell lymphomas: selective expression of p63 but no GATA3 optimally differentiates primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma from classic Hodgkin lymphoma

  1. CHL classic Hodgkin lymphoma, NS nodular sclerosis, PMLBCL primary mediastinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL); Gray, B-cell lymphoma unclassifiable, with features intermediate between DLBCL and classic Hodgkin lymphoma
  2. a: immunohistochemistry for some antibodies was not done in one case due to exhaustion of stored tissues
