Lessons From the Friday Unknowns
Histologic sections show needle-shaped fragments of lymphoma with large areas of coagulative necrosis.

The neoplasm has a well developed starry sky pattern and the neoplastic cells are predominantly intermediate-size and monomorphous. Mitotic figures are easily identified.
