PRIMARY MEDIASTINAL LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA

Alternate names

PRIMARY MEDIASTINAL LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA Is also known as med-dlbcl, primary mediastinal clear cell lymphoma of b-cell type, large cell lymphoma of the mediastinum, mediastinal diffuse large-cell lymphoma with sclerosis

Description

Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) is a rare subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL; see this term), arising from B cells of thymic origin, that affects mainly women between the ages of 20-30, that usually presents with a bulky and rapidly expanding anterior mediastinal mass, often with pleural and pericardial effusions, and that can invade the lungs, superior vena cava, pleura, pericardium, and chest wall, leading to manifestations of cough, dyspnea, and superior vena cava syndrome.

FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA

Alternate names

FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA Is also known as oncogene b-cell leukemia 2

Description

Follicular lymphoma is a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (see this term) characterized by a proliferation of B cells whose nodular structure of follicular architecture is preserved.

Most common symptoms of FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA

  • Neoplasm
  • Fever
  • Fatigue
  • Diarrhea
  • Splenomegaly

HIGH GRADE B-CELL LYMPHOMA WITH MYC AND/ OR BCL2 AND/OR BCL6 REARRANGEMENT

INTRAVASCULAR LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA

Alternate names

INTRAVASCULAR LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA Is also known as tappeiner-pfleger disease, angioendotheliomatosis proliferans systemisata, malignant angioendotheliomatosis, angiotropic large cell lymphoma, intravascular lymphomatosis

Description

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a very rare form of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (see this term) characterized by the selective growth of lymphoma cells within the lumina of small blood vessels (especially the capillaries) that most often presents with a wide range of clinical manifestations (as potentially any tissue can be involved), with patients from Western countries more frequently manifesting with neurological and cutaneous symptoms while patients from Asian countries more frequently displaying hepatosplenomegaly and thrombocytopenia. IVLBCL is characterized by an absence of lymphadenopathy, an aggressive clinical course and a poor prognosis.
