Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a recently described malignancy that can show heterogeneity in its clinical presentation. We report on a patient whose clinical presentation, medical history, and serologic test results were suggestive of tertiary syphilis. Histologic evaluation, however, revealed a large cell lymphoma with Ki-1 positive findings on immunostaining. We review the differential diagnosis of ALCL and add to that a pattern of ALCL clinically mimicking noduloulcerative tertiary syphilis.
间变性大细胞淋巴瘤(ALCL)是一种最近才被描述的恶性肿瘤,其临床表现可能具有异质性。我们报告了一名患者,其临床表现、病史和血清学检测结果提示为三期梅毒。然而,组织学评估显示为大细胞淋巴瘤,免疫染色显示Ki-1阳性。我们回顾了ALCL的鉴别诊断,并补充了一种临床上模仿结节溃疡性三期梅毒的ALCL模式。
