==Definition / Description of Disease==
*Anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL), [[ALK]]-negative, is a CD30+ T-cell lymphoma that is morphologically and immunophenotypically indistinguishable (but lacks ALK protein expression) from [[HAEM5:ALK-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma|ALK(+) ALCL]]<ref name=":9">{{Cite journal|last=Ad|first=Attygalle|last2=J|first2=Cabeçadas|last3=P|first3=Gaulard|last4=Es|first4=Jaffe|last5=D|first5=de Jong|last6=Yh|first6=Ko|last7=J|first7=Said|last8=W|first8=Klapper|date=2014|title=Peripheral T-cell and NK-cell lymphomas and their mimics; taking a step forward - report on the lymphoma workshop of the XVIth meeting of the European Association for Haematopathology and the Society for Hematopathology|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24128129/|language=en|doi=10.1111/his.12251|pmc=PMC6364972|pmid=24128129}}</ref><ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Sh|first=Swerdlow|last2=E|first2=Campo|last3=Sa|first3=Pileri|last4=Nl|first4=Harris|last5=H|first5=Stein|last6=R|first6=Siebert|last7=R|first7=Advani|last8=M|first8=Ghielmini|last9=Ga|first9=Salles|date=2016|title=The 2016 revision of the World Health Organization classification of lymphoid neoplasms|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26980727/|language=en|doi=10.1182/blood-2016-01-643569|pmc=PMC4874220|pmid=26980727}}</ref>

==Sites of Involvement==
*Nodal (predominantly abdominal lymphadenopathy) in a sinusoidal pattern
*Extranodal (skin, soft tissue, gastrointestinal, bone) in about 20% of cases
**If involving the skin or GI tract, cases must be distinguished from primary cutaneous ALCL or CD30+ enteropathy-associated/other intestinal T-cell lymphomas, respectively
==Morphologic Features==
*Tissue effacement by cohesive sheets of large, pleomorphic neoplastic cells, with or without prominent nucleoli, with varying proportions of hallmark cells
*"Hallmark cells"
**Lymphoma cells characterized by eccentric, horseshoe-shaped or kidney-shaped nuclei, often with eosinophilic cytoplasm accentuated near the nucleus
**Usually large in size, but may also be smaller
**Less common that in classic variant of ALK (+) ALCL
*DUSP22-rearranged subtype tends to lack large pleomorphic cells and show smaller, monomorphic cells with central nuclear pseudoinclusions (doughnut cells)
*Intrasinusoidal growth pattern seen in cases with preserved nodal architecture
