Abstract:
We report a case of a composite lymphoma comprising both mande cell lymphoma and a plasmacytoma. The two components were morphologically and immunohistochemically quite distinct. These properties, coupled with both direct and indirect molecular genetic evidence, suggest that these were two separate tumours occurring together by chance or by unknown oncogenic mechanisms, rather than clonally linked lymphomas.
