Abstract

<p>Photomicrographs of select tumors and reactive tissue stained for MYC (positive staining = brown nuclei). Positive control (Burkitt lymphoma with a confirmed <i>MYC</i> translocation) revealed uniform, intense staining in >90% of tumor cells (Burkitt). In contrast, reactive lymphoid tissue revealed variable staining in only 10% of normal lymphocyte nuclei (Tonsil). Representative images from DLBCL cases and associated percent MYC+ tumor nuclei: Case 1, 90% MYC+; Case 7, 70% MYC+; and Cases 35 and 38, 30% MYC+. MYC staining was exclusively nuclear in all cases under the described staining conditions.</p
