Ki-1 positive (anaplastic, large cell) lymphoma (case reports and review).

Ki-1 positive (anaplastic, large cell) lymphoma is a subgroup of non-Hodgkin lymphomas identified recently by Ki-1 (or BER-H2) (CD 30) monoclonal antibody. The clinicopathological features of two such pediatric cases of lymph node origin described here, and also the available literature emphasize the heterogenous nature of Ki-1 positive lymphomas, in almost every respect. Nevertheless, the Ki-1 antibody serves as an important diagnostic tool to differentiate lymphomas from other anaplastic, large malignancies.
