Overview

NCI Definition: A germinal center-derived B-cell lymphoma that affects predominantly children and young adults. It is characterized by the presence of strong IRF4 expression and IRF4 translocation, BCL2 expression, and the absence of t(14;18)(q32;q21). It affects the Waldeyer's ring, head and neck lymph nodes, and the intestine. Morphologically it is characterized by the presence of diffuse and grade 3 follicular areas. [1]
