Overview

NCI Definition: A term referring to a group of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas which are biologically heterogeneous and lack definitive and accepted criteria for further subclassification. These lymphomas have a centroblastic, immunoblastic, or anaplastic morphology. [1]

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specifieds most frequently harbor alterations in KMT2D, TP53, CREBBP, PIM1, and BCL2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Not Otherwise Specified

CREBBP Mutation, KMT2D Mutation, TP53 Mutation, MYD88 Mutation, and PIM1 Mutation are the most common alterations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified [2].
