case_images: Immunohistochemistry with hematoxylin and eosin stain. Diffuse proliferation of large atypical lymphoid cells with plasmablast features is seen. These cells have prominent round nuclei with eccentric amphophilic cytoplasm and clumped chromatin within the nuclei indicating increased mitotic activity. Immunohistochemistry results were positive for tumor markers CD45, CD79a, CD10, and lambda light chains. These cells were negative for CD19, CD20, CD22, CD138, PAX5, kappa light chains, and CD30. EBV testing showed nuclear positivity in most of the cells.
