“…1,2,26,27,[32][33][34] In LPHD, a single clone of lymphocytic and histiocytic cells, characterized as the descendant of a centroblast, is found in the different nodules of the lymphoma. 10,16,17 Although the detection of single clones of Ki67 ϩ cells encompassing 50% to 70% of the mutated Ki67 ϩ cells in 3 PTGCs may be suggestive of aberrant clonal expansions, such expansions are not unusual for classical GCs. 14,28,30,35 To address the question whether PTGCs might represent preneoplastic lesions, we analyzed in each of 2 patients the Ki67 ϩ cells from 2 different PTGCs.…”
