Eleven cases of olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) were studied histopathologically, ultrastructurally and immunohistochemically. Light microscopical examination showed the tumor cell nests separated by fibrous connective tissue (present in 10/11 ONB), Homer-Wright rosette and/or Flexner rosette (9/11 ONB) and acidophilic fibrillary background (8/11 ONB). Ultrastructurally, there were neurosecretory granules (2/2 ONB) and neurofibrils (1/2 ONB) in cytoplasm of tumor cells. A panel of antibodies were used to characterize the immunohistochemical staining profile of ONB. The following results were obtained for the 11 neoplasms that were immunostained: NSE 11/11 (+), S-100 3/11 (+), Vimentin 4/11 (+), Keratin 1/11 (+) and NF, EMA, CEA, LCA all negative respectively. The significance of the morphological and immunohistochemical features of ONB in diagnosis and differential diagnosis were discussed.

A CD30+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) cell line was established from the mononuclear cells isolated from pleural effusion of a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The cell line's biological characteristics were analyzed. The results showed that the established cell line could survive and proliferate in RPIM 1640 medium; the Wright-Giemsa-stained cells were exactly similar to malignant cells of CD30+ ALCL in morphology, with many diffuse virus granules in cytoplasm; the cytochemical staining of the cells showed the following reactivity pattern: positive for acid phosphatase (ACP) and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), negative for peroxidase (POX), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and platelet peroxidase (PPO). The immunoprofile of the cells was positive for CD45, HLA-DR, CD30 and negative for EMA, CD34, CD38, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD7, CD8, CD10, CD15, CD19 and CD20. The cytogenetic analysis showed complicate d qualitative and quantitative abnormality of chromosomes, without typical t(2;5). It is concluded that the established cell line is CD30+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma cell line.
