Whole slide imaging (WSI) is being increasingly used worldwide. Although previous studies have asserted the validity of WSI diagnosis, they have primarily targeted only small specimens and excluded cases requiring immunohistochemistry or special staining, such as lymphoma. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of WSI diagnosis of lymphoma, for which 240 biopsies and resections of lymphoma cases were selected from the study set of lymphomas. All slides including H&E, immunohistochemical and special staining were digitized using a WSI image scanner. An experienced pathologist performed the WSI diagnoses, which were compared with original diagnoses based on light microscopic examinations. Discrepancy between the two interpretations were classified into three categories: concordance, minor discrepancy (no clinical significance), and major discrepancy (with clinical significance). Overall concordance between the light microscopic and WSI diagnosis was found in 223 cases (92.92%; 95%CI = 88.90-95.82), minor discrepancy in fifteen (6.25%; 95%CI = 3.54-10.10), and major discrepancy in two (0.83%; 95%CI = 0.10-2.98). Diagnosis of lymphoma using WSI appeared to be mostly accurate, suggesting that WSI may be a reliable technology for the diagnosis of lymphoma.
