A: FISH analysis of a paraffin section of the WAT demonstrating split MAML2 signals (separation of one green and one red signal) in the tumor cells (TC) lining the cystic spaces. In contrast, no rearrangements of MAML2 are detected in the lymphoid cells (LC). B: Immunostaining of the MECT1-MAML2 fusion protein. Note the predominant nuclear staining of the tumor cells lining the cystic spaces of the tumor. The surrounding lymphoid stroma is mainly negative.
