Features ( | =====Subtypes===== | ||
*Cells (relatively) small (compared to classic RSCs). | There are four CHL subtypes:<ref name=Ref_WMSP567/> | ||
*Lobulated nucleus - '''key feature'''. | #Nodular sclerosis CHL - ~70% of CHL. | ||
*Small nucleoli. | #*Mixed cellular background - T cell, plasma cells, eosinophils, neutrophils and histiocytes. | ||
#*Nodular sclerosing fibrosis - thick strands fibrosis. | |||
#Mixed cellularity CHL - ~20-25% of CHL. | |||
#*Like nodular sclerosis - but no fibrosis. | |||
#Lymphocyte-rich CHL - rare. | |||
#*T lymphocytes only (no mix of cells). | |||
#Lymphocyte-depleted CHL - rare. | |||
#*Assoc. with HIV infection. | |||
