Objective: Making the interest of using immunohistochemistry clear in addition\nto histological test in the diagnosis of lymphomas. Methods: This is a retrospective\nstudy from January 2011 to June 2013 involving 18 cases of lymphomas\ncollected in the teaching hospitals of Treichville and Yopougon.\nResults: 1) 38.88% diagnosis of LMNH B large-cell in histology against\n38.88% LDGCB with IHC. 2) 11.11% diagnosis of LMNH small cell in histology\nagainst 11.11% with IHC. 3) 5.55% diagnosis of T lymphoma in histology\nagainst 27.77% diagnosis of T lymphoma with IHC. 4) 5.55% diagnosis of follicular\nlymphoma in histology against 11.11% diagnosis of LF with IHC. 5)\n11.11% diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma in histology against 5.55% diagnosis of\nLB with IHC. 6) 5.55% diagnosis of medullary hypoplasia in histology against\n5.55% diagnosis of Hodgkin�s disease. Our results confirm the contribution of\nimmunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of lymphomas in addition to histological\ntest. This is striking, especially as there is 27.77% of T lymphoma with\nimmunohistochemistry against only 5.55% with histology.
