Intrasinusoidal infiltration of bone marrow (BM) may accompany several malignant lymphoproliferative disorders. In small B-cell lymphomas, this pattern is considered specific for splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) when exclusive or prominent, although it may occur in other subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) as a minor feature. Here we report 2 cases of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) with a prominent intrasinusoidal BM infiltration pattern. Both patients presented with massive splenomegaly and peripheral blood involvement characterized by markedly atypical lymphocytes, but no lymphadenopathy. The cytological features and the phenotype of the lymphoma cells were diagnostic of MCL. The malignant B cells showed coexpression of B-cell markers (CD20+ and CD79a+), CD5 antigen, and cyclin D1 by immunohistochemistry. We discuss the specificity of an intrasinusoidal growth pattern in the bone marrow, emphasizing the importance of using a broader immunohistochemical panel in the differential diagnosis of intrasinusoidal BM infiltration by NHL.

The historical control database of a multinational laboratory services provider was queried for all histopathologic findings in New Zealand White rabbits which were used as control animals during a ten-year period (2011-2020). The query included all evaluated tissues, with or without microscopic findings, in studies conducted for safety testing for regulatory approval by the U.S.

Extrahepatic viral infections are often accompanied by acute hepatitis, as evidenced by elevated serum liver enzymes and intrasinusoidal infiltration of CD8+ T cells, without direct infection of the liver. An example is infectious mononucleosis caused by primary infection with EBV. Previously, we demonstrated that airway infection of mice with murine γ-herpesvirus 68 (MHV68), a murine model of EBV, caused liver inflammation with elevated serum liver enzymes and intrahepatic infiltration of IFN-γ-producing CD8+ T cells and NK cells.

Background: Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is a rare subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Patients usually present with splenomegaly and pancytopenia but without lymphadenopathy. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining of bone marrow biopsy shows intra-sinusoidal infiltration of CD3 and CD56 T-lymphocytes.

A forensic pathological case of rare T-cell leukemia is reported. Autopsy samples (paraffine blocks and slides) from 32 years old female with long-term existing anemia and leukopenia, number of chronic inflammatory diseases, died from fulminant pneumonia, were presented for forensic pathological re-examination. A routine histological examination was done using standard H&E stain.
