Fig. 1 Dual-color FISH illustrating the MAML2 rearrangement. The association between the translocation at t(11;19)(q21;p13) and mucoepidermoid carcinomas has been documented.119 (From Kathleen Cieply, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center; with permission.)

Fig. 2 Oral hairy leukoplakia. (A) Hyperkeratosis and intracellular edema of superficial epithelial cells (referred to as “balloon cells”) are seen here (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×10). (B) At a higher power, chromatin beading within nuclei of epithelial cells is seen (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×40). (C) This image demonstrates a negative control for EBER (EBV) by ISH (in situ hybridization, original magnification ×40). (D) This image demonstrates positive cells staining EBER (EBV) by ISH (in situ hybridization, original magnification ×40).

Fig. 3 DNA-microarray analysis of Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma showing differences in gene expression patterns. Colors indicate levels of expression: green indicates genes that are overexpressed in normal cells compared with lymphoma cells; and red indicates genes that are overexpressed in lymphoma cells compared with normal cells.
