Because of the small biopsy specimens in the Waldeyer's ring (WR) the differential diagnosis between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) and malignant lymphoma is occasionally difficult. We report here clinicopathological, immunohistochemical and genotypic findings of 9 cases of EBV-associated LPDs in WR.
