“…Prognosis in ALK+ ALCL is good overall, except for the small-cell variant [3, 5]. Correct clinical diagnosis of the small-cell variant of ALCL is often challenging as the scarce “hallmark cells” are scattered among inflammatory cells and may be difficult to recognize.…”

We report a case of a small-cell variant of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma, with an unusual clinical presentation mimicking sepsis and a fulminant clinic course, in a 48-year-old Caucasian female. In this report, we discuss the diagnostic challenge, histopathologic features, and unique cytogenetic features of this case, in order to raise awareness of this rare presentation and emphasize the importance of meticulous peripheral smear examination and early bone marrow evaluation.

“…Overall, the prognosis of ALK+ ALCL is remarkably better than of ALK– ALCL. However, even though all small-cell variant cases have been shown to be ALK+, the prognosis is very poor for this subgroup [3, 4]. Here, we present a case of ALK+ ALCL with small-cell variant morphology.…”
