Figure 2. (a) Hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections (× 400) of the left neck biopsy shows Burkitt lymphoma with diffuse proliferation of monotonous atypical lymphoid cells with scattered tingible body macrophages (starry sky pattern), frequent apoptotic bodies, and mitotic figures. (b) Immunohistochemistry (× 400) for phosphorylated AKT is positive on the neoplastic cells in a nuclear staining pattern.
