Abstract
Development of post-chemotherapy histiocyte-rich pseudotumor (PHP) is an underrecognized event following therapy in lymphoma patients and may mimic residual tumor using current therapy monitoring protocols. We report a series of 5 patients with PHP along with a review of the literature. In our series, we describe 3 patients with persistent hypermetabolic masses by positron emission tomography-computed tomography, one with persistent terminal ileal nodules on endoscopy, and one with bone marrow involvement, a site not associated with mass-like disease. Twenty-three patients with long-term follow-up were identified from our series and review of the literature. Forty-four percent of patients received additional therapy, and only 4% of patients died of lymphoma. This study illustrates that PHPs are not identified using current lymphoma therapy monitoring algorithms and may result in overtreatment with risk for additional therapy-related complications. The need for confirmatory tissue biopsy in this setting is recommended.

Abstract
Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign mesenchymal pediatric neoplasm, that can mimic tumoral residue or relapse at metabolic imaging with nonspecific clinical presentation and difficult diagnosis. We present the case of a 14year old male patient with fever of unknown origin and large ileal mass, diagnosed with and treated for Burkitt lymphoma, who performed several 18-fluoro-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans, during and after first line chemotherapy, showing persistent and focal uptake, while ileal mass volume decreased dramatically and the patient was clinically asymptomatic. Histopathological analysis of residual ileal mass was suggestive for xanthomatous pseudotumor, a type of inflammatory pseudotumor. No more treatment was performed and a short-term follow up with 18F-FDG PET/CT showed tracer uptake intensity decreasing progressively over the next few months. This case reports an uncommon presentation of a rare disease, inflammatory pseudotumor of the small bowel developed at the site of treated Burkitt lymphoma, underscoring the potential role of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in the diagnosis and management of these rare neoplasms, particularly in asymptomatic patients.

Abstract
Postchemotherapy histiocyte-rich pseudotumor is a rare event in lymphoma patients and can cause elevated metabolic activity on positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan mimicking residual tumor. Here, we reported 11 lymphoma cases showing mass-like lesions with increased fluorodeoxyglucose uptake after chemotherapy. These postchemotherapy lesions occurred in various anatomic sites including spleen, mediastinum, lymph node, and other tissue locations, concerning for refractory or residual lymphoma. Their median size was 2.7 cm (range, 1.4 to 7.7 cm) and the median standardized uptake value on positron emission tomography-computed tomography was 10.6 (range, 5.2 to 13.8). Histologic examination of these lesions demonstrated reactive changes mainly composed of histiocyte-rich proliferation without viable lymphoma. Fat necrosis, cholesterol cleft, and calcium deposit were also commonly observed. After biopsies, 3 patients received additional chemotherapy, 2 had stem cell transplant with adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation, 1 had surgical excision, and the remaining 5 patients did not receive any further treatment. Follow-up imaging studies showed the resolved or decreased fluorodeoxyglucose activities in all patients including those without additional treatments, consistent with benign/reactive nature of these pseudotumor lesions. This study illustrates postchemotherapy mass-like lesions with elevated metabolic activity do not always represent residual disease and provides awareness of correlation between radiologic and histologic features of these lesions to avoid misinterpretation and overtreatment of lymphoma patients after chemotherapy.

Benign Histiocyte-Rich Pseudotumor Developing Postchemotherapy and Mimicking Residual Disease. Case Rep Pathol 2020; 2020:4674103.

Abstract
Histiocyte-rich pseudotumors (HRPT) developing postchemoradiation therapy are a florid response to treatment and reparative change. Although these are benign processes, clinically and radiologically, these may mimic recurrent/relapsed disease. We describe a case of an adult male with history of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), status postchemoradiation therapy, who developed HRPT at the site of original involvement, mimicking relapse of disease on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging. This is one of the few reported cases of posttreatment HRPT. This entity is important to point out the limitations of PET/CT imaging in patients with lymphomas and metastatic disease and stresses the importance of an excisional biopsy for determining relapse and the need for further treatment.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Even though immunohistochemistry is routinely used by pathologists, evaluation of immunohistochemistry in splenic lesions remains difficult for many. Classification of benign and splenic lesions often requires a combination of hematoxylin-eosin evaluation, immunophenotyping, and sometimes molecular testing. Immunohistochemical staining is essential in evaluating many splenic lesions, and requires an understanding of the normal compartments of the spleen. OBJECTIVE.— To address different immunohistochemical features used for identification and subclassification of different lesions of the spleen, as well as in the normal compartments of the spleen. DATA SOURCES.— The information outlined in this review article is based on our experiences with a variety of spleen cases, on the current World Health Organization classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid tumors, and on a review of English-language articles published during 2018. CONCLUSIONS.— Features for phenotyping normal spleen as well as a variety of splenic lesions, including littoral cell angioma and splenic marginal zone lymphoma, are discussed. Suggested immunopanels are provided to assist in the diagnosis of different lesions of the spleen.

Abstract
Inflammatory pseudotumors (IPTs) are rare, enigmatic lesions that may develop as a late manifestation of a reparative process. We describe the case of a teenager with primary mediastinal subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who developed an IPT at the site of the original lymphoma, mimicking relapse of disease on positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging. This is the first report of IPT in a teenager with mediastinal lymphoma. This case is an important reminder of the limitations of positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging in patients with lymphoma and stresses the importance of histologic confirmation of suspected treatment failure or relapse.

Abstract
We describe a young man who presented with neurological signs and symptoms, and with a paraspinal soft tissue mass involving the vertebral body at T4. The patient was treated with dexamethasone prior to neurosurgical decompression and debulking. Biopsy showed features of a small B-cell lymphoma possibly of follicle center cell origin. The patient achieved complete remission with radiotherapy. However, he experienced relapse 10 months later with a soft tissue mass close to and involving the posteroinferior aspect of the sternum. Biopsy of the recurrent lesion showed features of B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. The first biopsy was revisited to demonstrate the lymphoblastic immunophenotype of the lesional cells. The 'indolent' appearance of the cells in the first biopsy was attributable to treatment with dexamethasone prior to the biopsy.
