Lesions in the submandibular lymph nodes.

Nodular whitish multifocal hepatic lesions.

Histological image showing features of malignancy such as mitosis (arrows). Immunohistochemical markers: positive for T lymphocytes (CD3) and negative for B lymphocytes (CD79a), these results indicate that it is a T cell lymphoma.
