Popis: Abstract Background Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) with uniform CD56 expression is a rare condition, that has been described in limited literature, and its clinicopathological features have not yet been well illustrated. The aim of our study was to fully investigate the clinical, histological, immunohistochemical and molecular features of CD56+ ALCL. Methods The clinical and histological characteristics of CD56+ ALCL cases were retrospectively evaluated. The immunohistochemical phenotype, status of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement were examined. Overall survival was also analyzed. Results Eighteen (5.8%) cases with diffuse CD56 expression were identified out of 313 archived ALCL cases with CD56 test. CD56 expression was significantly higher in ALK+ systemic ALCLs (sALCLs) (13/64, 20.3%) than in ALK- sALCLs (3/101, 3.0%) (p
