Since it is a oncologist making the request they probably want IHC with an 
antibody called Alk-1 (? a lymphoma marker) rather than alkaline phosphatase 
enzyme histochemistry for osteoblasts.

I have a pathologist that has had a request from an oncologist to do an
"ALK". Does this ring a bell with anyone?
