Abstract: Objective:PMBCL is a distinct type of nonhodgkins lymphoma with specific clinicopathological features. To clarify clinical features, treatment alternatives and outcomes, we evaluated 28 Arab patients treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy between 2006 and 2011.Patients and Methods:PMBCL lymphoma patients identified according to WHO classification and treated at KCCC between 2006 and 2011 were included in this study.
