Overview
There are no established causes for diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
Cause
The causes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are not well understood. Usually diffuse large B-cell lymphoma arises from normal B cells, but it can also represent a malignant transformation of other types of lymphoma or leukemia. Infection with Epstein-Barr virus has also been found to contribute to the development of some subgroups of diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
