Fig. 6 Histologic examination of the mediastinal mass reveals a diffuse proliferation of large atypical appearing CD20 and Pax 5 positive cells, indicating that these are B cells. The neoplastic cells are CD 10 negative and express BCL6 and MUM1 consistent with a post-germinal center phenotype. ALK 1 staining is negative. The morphologic features and immunophenotype are consistent with a diffuse large B cell lymphoma, post-germinal center B cell phenotype.
