Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, light micrograph. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of lymphoma and accounts for about 35% of all cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is an aggressive malignancy and presents with rapidly enlarging lymph nodes or tumor masses at extranodal sites. There is diffuse proliferation of large to medium-sized lymphoid cells which can be classified into centroblasts and immunoblasts. Some cases have markedly pleomorphic anaplastic cells. This photomicrograph shows anaplastic variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The tumor is composed of highly pleomorphic and multinucleated cells. It should not be confused with anaplastic large cell lymphoma which is composed of T/null cells.
