NHL indicates non-Hodgkin lymphoma; PCNSL, primary central nervous system lymphoma; see Table 1 for other abbreviations.

F5-150

Other phenotypic patterns included: BCL6/MUM1/syn1 in 1 systemic NHL (with DLCL morphology) and in 1 PCNSL (with DLCL/IBL morphology); BCL6/MUM1/syn1+ in 2 PCNSL (with IBL morphology); BCL6+/MUM1+/syn1+ in 1 PCNSL (with DLCL/IBL morphology) and in 1 HL; and BCL6+/MUM1/syn1+ in 1 PCNSL (with DLCL/IBL morphology).

F5-151

In 2 cases occasional neoplastic cells expressed MUM1.

F5-152

In 1 PEL case the expression of BCL-6 could not be assessed because the immunohistochemistry result was not evaluable for technical reasons.
