Lymphoid hyperplasia of lacrimal gland may be difficult to be differentiated from lymphomas on the basis of morphology and immunohistochemistry. The results of this study indicate that polymerase chain reaction should be employed for confirming the diagnosis of lymphoma in cases with histological and immunophenotypical characteristics of lymphomas, and for detecting monoclonal lymphoid cells in an otherwise non-lymphomatous but dubious or borderline morphological context.

Abstract
Lymphoid hyperplasia of lacrimal gland may be difficult to be differentiated from lymphomas on the basis of morphology and immunohistochemistry. The results of this study indicate that polymerase chain reaction should be employed for confirming the diagnosis of lymphoma in cases with histological and immunophenotypical characteristics of lymphomas, and for detecting monoclonal lymphoid cells in an otherwise non-lymphomatous but dubious or borderline morphological context.
