Fig. 1A.59-year-old man, who presented 8 years after heart
transplantation, with right adrenal mass pathologically proven to be B-cell
lymphoma. Contrast-enhanced CT image shows round right adrenal mass
(arrow) measuring 78 H in attenuation.
Fig. 1B.59-year-old man, who presented 8 years after heart
transplantation, with right adrenal mass pathologically proven to be B-cell
lymphoma. High-resolution photomicrograph of pathology specimen shows diffuse
proliferation of large, atypical lymphocytes with irregular nuclear contours,
frequently prominent nucleoli, and high mitotic rate. (H and E,
x200)
Fig. 1C.59-year-old man, who presented 8 years after heart
transplantation, with right adrenal mass pathologically proven to be B-cell
lymphoma. High-resolution photomicrograph of pathology specimen shows many
tumor cells express Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA detected by in situ
hybridization as darkly stained nuclei. (Immunoperoxidase, x200)
