ATCL, Adult T-cell lymphoma; BL, Burkitt’s lymphoma; DLBCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; FL, follicular lymphoma; HL, Hodgkin’s lymphoma; LPL, lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma; MALT, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue marginal zone B-cell lymphoma; MCL, mantle cell lymphoma.
Data were analyzed by the χ2-test; *, p < 0.05 vs. normal lymph node group was considered to be significant.
