'''Follicular lymphoma''' (FL) is the most common of the indolent [[non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]]s. It is defined as a [[lymphoma]] of [[follicle]] center [[B-cells]] (centrocytes and centroblasts), which has at least a partially follicular pattern. It is positive for [[CD10]].<ref>[http://pleiad.umdnj.edu/hemepath/follicular/follicular.html Overview at University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey]</ref>
==[[Follicular lymphoma overview|Overview]]==


==Morphology==
==[[Follicular lymphoma historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
The [[tumor]] is composed of follicle center cells, usually a mixture of centrocytes (cleaved follicle center cells, "small cells") and centroblasts (large noncleaved follicle center cells, "[[large cells]]"). Centrocytes typically predominate; centroblasts are usually in the minority, but by definition are always present. Rare lymphomas with a follicular growth pattern consist almost entirely of centroblasts. Occasional cases may show plasmacytoid differentiation of foci of [[marginal zone]] or [[monocytoid]] B-cells.


==Causes==
==[[Follicular lymphoma classification|Classification]]==
A [[translocation]] between [[chromosome]] 14 and 18 results in the overexpression of the ''bcl''2 [[gene]]. This overexpression causes a blockage of [[apoptosis]], or programmed cell death. This translocation has been associated with the development of Follicular lymphoma.

==Treatment==
==Treatment==
There is no consensus regarding the best treatment [[algorithm]], but watch-and-wait policies, alkylators, anthracycline-containing regimens (eg. [[CHOP]]), [[rituximab]], autologous and allogeneic [[hematopoietic stem cell transplantation]] have all been applied. The disease is regarded as incurable (although allogeneic stem cell transplanation may be curative, the [[death|mortality]] from the procedure is too high to be a first line option). The exception is localised disease, which can be cured by local [[irradiation]]. The typical pattern is one of good responses from treatment, followed by relapses some years later. [[Median]] survival is around 10 years, but the range is wide, from less than one year, to more than 20 years. Some patients may never need treatment.
