Crush artifact meaning5/22/2023 ![]() Fine-needle aspiration and needle-core biopsies have a role in lymphoma staging and in the assessment of recurrent disease, but are limited as primary diagnostic tests. Proper use of these diagnostic tools can be of great help in arriving at the correct diagnosis in difficult cases. The list of ancillary studies, however, used to complement these routine approaches is increasing both in number and complexity. Routine morphologic examination of excisional biopsies from nodal or extranodal sites provides the cornerstone for establishing a definitive diagnosis. ĪBSTRACT: Successful therapy for most of the non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas requires an accurate pathologic diagnosis. The standard practice of synthesizing all of the data from multiparameter analysis to arrive at a diagnosis in difficult cases will be emphasized. This review will focus on the standard approaches used to establish a diagnosis of malignant lymphoma, and the clinical utility of immunophenotypic, molecular genetic, and cytogenetic studies in providing useful data for diagnosis. Successful therapy for most of the non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas requires an accurate pathologic diagnosis.
