Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL) involving the marrow, presenting as large, pleomorphic, "anaplastic" cells with abundant cytoplasm and hallmark horseshoe-shaped nuclei. These cells often grow in a cohesive, clustered pattern, infiltrating as nodular or interstitial aggregates. They are consistently CD30-positive and may show ALK positivity. These must be distinguished from metastatic carcinomas, melanoma, or Hodgkin lymphoma.
