Pathophysiology

The dominant cell type is thought to be derived from histiocytes or macrophages. More recent thinking indicates that this cancer may arise from lymphocytes or immunoblasts.

Pathology

• Large, foam filled histiocytes with numerous mitoses and scant stroma are present
• Stains for reticulum are positive
• Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) stains are negative
