ABSTRACT
The Reed-Sternberg like cells (RS-like cells) are by no means specific to Hodgkin lymphoma, but they have been reported in various other lymphoproliferative disorders, including infectious mononucleosis. Many studies have postulated that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection may play a role in the development of RS-like cells in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. There are many accounts in the literature about these RS-like cells in lymph node aspirates and biopsies creating diagnostic confusion with Hodgkin lymphoma, but no report in Korea. We experienced a case of a 44 year-old male patient who had multiple lymph nodes enlargement with the history of treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma 15 years ago. At this time, this patient was diagnosed as peripheral T-cell lymphoma with RS-like cells associated with EBV in lymph node biopsy. Here, we report this case with a review of the relevant literature.
