Ascitic fluid involvement by mediastinal T lymphoblastic lymphoma is very unusual. These cases can easily be differentiated from their morphological mimickers with the help of immunocytochemistry or flow cytometry on the fluid sample. T lymphoblastic lymphoma can present with superior vena cava syndrome which needs an early diagnosis for accurate management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
