Composite lymphomas have rarely been reported in Hodgkin's disease (HD), except in the lymphocyte predominance sub-type, and immunohistochemical investigations have been performed in only few cases. We describe the histological and immunophenotypical findings in a case of composite nodular sclerosing HD and high-grade, large cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). In our case HD and NHL cells displayed striking morphological and immunophenotypical divergence, suggesting a lack of correlation between the two neoplasms.

Although the cure rates of classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) are as high as 90% using the current treatment protocols, the prognosis is poor for primary refractory patients. Thus, a biomarker that can predict patients with early progression at the time of diagnosis is an unmet clinical need. Endothelial activation and stress index (EASIX) and its variant modified EASIX (mEASIX) is a scoring system currently used for the prediction of prognosis in hematologic malignancies.

Proliferations of neoplastic perivascular epithelioid cells (PECs) may occur within the lung and extrathoracic sites. The term "PEComatosis" is applied to multiple or diffuse microscopic proliferations of neoplastic PECs. Pulmonary diffuse PEComatosis is extremely rare, with only one case documented in the literature to date.

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation (SANT) is a rare benign vascular disease and mostly discovered incidentally in asymptomatic patients. Since SANT grows over time and it is often difficult to rule out malignancy on imaging, splenectomy is frequently the treatment of choice. Image findings of SANT have been reported as low signal intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images and a characteristic enhancement pattern on dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and MR images.

SANT is a rare, non-lymphoid, benign entity, originating from the red pulp of the spleen. It is characterized by the presence of vascular nodules surrounded by a stroma of collagen fibers. It was introduced as a distinct disease entity by Martel et al in 2004, after the histopathological examination of 25 cases.

Introduction And Importance: Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen is a rare benign vascular lesion arising from red pulp of spleen with unknown etiopathogenesis. It is a non-neoplastic condition that affects the spleen only; not described in other sites except one case reported in adrenal gland. Epidemiologically it has slight female predilection.
