	Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma]	Classified into 2 subtypes based on gene expression profiles: Germinal centre B-cell-like (GCB) Activated B-cell-like (ABC).

Centroblastic Medium-to-large-sized lymphocytes Monomorphic Immunoblastic:: > 90% immunoblasts Trapezoid shaped large lymphoid cells with significant basophilic cytoplasm Anaplastic: Very large cells with a round, oval, or polygonal shape that may resemble Reed-Sternberg cells of Hodgkin's lymphoma or Anaplastic Large cell Lymphoma.

BCL2 and TdT.		Medium-sized (~1.5-2x the size of a RBC) with uniform size ("monotonous") -- key feature (i.e. tumor nuclei size similar to that of histiocytes or endothelial cells) Round nucleus Small nucleoli basophilic cytoplasm Brisk mitotic rate and apoptotic activity Cellular outline usually appears squared off "Starry-sky pattern": The stars in the pattern are tingible-body macrophages (macrophages containing apoptotic tumor cells) The tumour cells are the sky
B cell lymphoma	Mantle cell lymphoma	CD5 positive antigen in pregerminal center of B-cell Chromosomal translocation at t(11:14) Over-express cyclin D1					Stage IV disease B symptoms, Generalized lymphadenopathy Abdominal distention Fatigue Night sweats Weight Loss Extranodal involvement of gastrointtestinal (GI) tract, lungs, and central nervous system (CNS)					Generalized lymphadenopathy Hepato-splenomegaly Mental Retardation Less commonly Palpable masses in skin, breast, and salivary glands												CD5+ B-cell antigen positive CD19 CD20 CD22 Cyclin D1 is overexpressed.	CBC Anemia and cytopenias are secondary to bone marrow infiltration Lymphocytosis > 4000/µL Elevated LDH	Germinal centers filled by small-to-medium atypical lymphocytes. Nodular appearance may be evident from expansion of the mantle zone in 30-50% of patients early in the disease.
	Nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma	Arise from memory B cells. Include Splenic marginal zone lymphoma Nodal marginal zone lymphoma Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma. Stimulation of antigen receptor by autoantigen and co-stimulatory molecule CD40.					Depends largely on its location Gastric marginal zone lymphoma Dyspepsia Abdominal pain Hemorrhage Chronic infectious conditions or autoimmune processes, such as H pylori gastritis Hashimoto thyroiditis Sjögren syndrome.																	AE1/AE3 B-cell markers CD20, CD79a, CD10, CD23, and bcl-2 are expressed		Follicular cells in reactive zone Centrocyte like cells in marginal zone lymphoma
	Splenic marginal zone lymphoma	Clonal rearrangements of the immunoglobulin genes (heavy and light chains) . Deletion 7q21-32 Translocations of the CDK6 gene located at 7q21.																						CD20 CD79a		B-cells replace the normal white pulp of the spleen. The neoplastic cells compromise Small lymphocytes Transformed blasts Sinus invasion Epithelial histocytes Plasmacytic differentiation of neoplastic cells. Splenic Hilar Lymph Nodes Involved hilar lymph nodes adjacent to the spleen show an effaced architecture without preservation of the marginal zone seen in the spleen Bone Marrow Biopsy Splenic marginal zone lymphoma in bone marrow displays a nodular pattern with morphology similar to what is observed in the splenic hilar lymph nodes.
	Hairy cell leukemia	Production of cytokines, such as TNF alpha and IL-2R, provide important stimuli for malignant B cells proliferation in hairy cell leukemia. The p38-MAPK-JNK cascade The MEK-ERK cascade The Phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)-AKT cascade					Fever Night sweats Fatigue Easy bruising or bleeding Generalized weakness Weight loss Recurrent infections Early satiety					Pallor, Petechiae Splenomegaly												Annexin A1 CD20 CD25 CD103 CD19 CD11c FMC7	Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase positive CBC Decreased hemoglobin concentration Decreased platelets count	Small cells with "fried egg"-like appearance Well-demarcated thread-like cytoplasmic extensions Clear cytoplasm Central round nucleus Peri-nuclear clearing ("water-clear rim" appearance)
