Our results showed that HGAL and LMO2 are sensitive and specific markers for detecting FL in nodal and extranodal sites. In contrast, all markers were down-regulated in FL infiltrates in the bone marrow. CD10 and HGAL were expressed in a subset of FLs in the bone marrow and were highly correlated with each other and with CD21, a marker of follicular dendritic cells. We conclude that HGAL and LMO2 should be considered in immunohistochemical panels used for the routine workup of lymphomas derived from small B cells. In the bone marrow, staining for HGAL or CD10 can be helpful in making a diagnosis of FL, although they are absent in a subset of cases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1309\/ajcp7z2bibunqplz","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,18]],"date-time":"2011-04-18T19:39:25Z","timestamp":1303155565000},"page":"697-708","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["The
