Hi all,
ReplyDeleteThe answers for these cases are:
1. MALT (marginal zone) lymphoma.
In the salary glands is classically associated with Sjogren's syndrome.
2. Follicular lymphoma. It is graded based on the number of centroblasts per high power field. In this case it's a grade 1, since there are in average les than 5 centroblasts/HPF.
