Seven cases of B‐cell lymphoma that morphologically resembled T‐cell lymphoma are described. These cases are of four morphologic types: atypical poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma (PDLL) with convoluted nuclei, “Lennert's” lymphoma, mixed lymphocytic‐“histiocytic” lymphoma with large variation in size of abnormal cells, and “histiocytic” lymphoma with large multilobed nuclei. These cases add further support to the belief that morphologic criteria alone are not sufficient for accurate immunologic classification of the malignant lymphomas since they may represent a distinct clinicopathologic entity.
