Table 2 Immunophenotypic features of SC/LH versus non-SC/H ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

From: Small cell/lymphohistiocytic morphology is associated with peripheral blood involvement, CD8 positivity and retained T-cell antigens, but not outcome in adults with ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma
