[5][6][7][8] This heterogeneous group of lymphoid neoplasm is characterized by diverse spectrum of clinical and morphological features and prognosis. 9 Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is characterized by diffuse proliferation of large neoplastic B lymphoid cells with nuclear size equal to or exceeding normal macrophage nuclei, or more than twice the size of a normal lymphocyte.…”
