Clinical presentation of DLBCL can be variable, usually depends on the site of disease involvement, rapid growth rate, enlarged lymph nodes, extra nodal mass infiltrating into tissues or obstructing organs. The enlarged lymphomatous mass may also exert severe pain. Patients usually experience fever, drenching night sweats, weight loss, anorexia, pedal edema (due to extensive pelvic lymphadenopathy), fatigue, chest discomfort or shortness of breath due to mediastinal lymphadenopathy.

Due to the clinicopathologic, biological and genetic diversity, DLBCL is sub divided into morphological variants and molecular subtypes. Initial workup and evaluation of DLBCL has become increasingly complex partly due to the genetic abnormalities that are targets for specific therapy and play an important role in monitoring residual disease. Genomic studies help in clinical management, risk stratification, enrolling patients onto treatment protocols, clinical trials, and detection of therapeutic targets. GS, If IHC is positive for GCB like DLBCL, FISH and Cytogenetics for MYC, BCL2 or BCL6 gene rearrangement are recommended to rule out double and triple hit lymphoma.

This page was converted to the new template on 2023-12-07. The original page can be found at HAEM4:Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, Not Otherwise Specified.

(General Instructions – The main focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column to a table, click nearby within the table and select the > symbol that appears to be given options. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content.

Epidemiology / Prevalence

DLBCL, NOS constitutes close to 30% of NHL. It is more common in the elderly with an average age of 60 years, but it is also seen in all age groups. Put your text here

Clinical Features

The primary site of lymphoma, either the lymph node or extra nodal site, is important in assessing clinical features, treatment options and outcome of the disease. Clinical presentation of DLBCL can be variable, usually depends on the site of disease involvement, rapid growth rate, enlarged lymph nodes, extra nodal mass infiltrating into tissues or obstructing organs. The enlarged lymphomatous mass may also exert severe pain. Patients usually experience fever, drenching night sweats, weight loss, anorexia, pedal edema (due to extensive pelvic lymphadenopathy), fatigue, chest discomfort or shortness of breath due to mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Put your text here

Sites of Involvement

Lymph node or extra nodal site, enlarged lymph nodes, extra nodal mass infiltrating into tissues or obstructing organs. The enlarged lymphomatous mass may also exert severe pain.

Morphologic Features

Clinical presentation of DLBCL can be variable, usually depends on the site of disease involvement, rapid growth rate, enlarged lymph nodes, extra nodal mass infiltrating into tissues or obstructing organs. The enlarged lymphoma mass may also exert severe pain. Patients usually experience fever, drenching night sweats, weight loss, anorexia, pedal edema (due to extensive pelvic lymphadenopathy), fatigue, chest discomfort or shortness of breath due to mediastinal lymphadenopathy.

Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns

Put your text here (EXAMPLE PATTERNS: hyperdiploid; gain of odd number chromosomes including typically chromosome 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 17; co-deletion of 1p and 19q; complex karyotypes without characteristic genetic findings; chromothripsis. Do not delete table.)

Chromosomal Pattern Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Notes
EXAMPLE:

Co-deletion of 1p and 18q

Yes No No EXAMPLE:

See chromosomal rearrangements table as this pattern is due to an unbalanced derivative translocation associated with oligodendroglioma (add reference).

Due to the clinicopathologic, biological and genetic diversity, DLBCL is sub divided into morphological variants and molecular subtypes. Initial workup and evaluation of DLBCL has become increasingly complex partly due to the genetic abnormalities that are targets for specific therapy and play an important role in monitoring residual disease. Genomic studies help in clinical management, risk stratification, enrolling patients onto treatment protocols, clinical trials, and detection of therapeutic targets. GS, If IHC is positive for GCB like DLBCL, FISH and Cytogenetics for MYC, BCL2 or BCL6 gene rearrangement are recommended to rule out double and triple hit lymphoma.

Gene Mutations (SNV / INDEL)

Put your text here and fill in the table (Instructions: This table is not meant to be an exhaustive list; please include only genes/alterations that are recurrent and common as well as either disease defining and/or clinically significant. Can include references in the table. For clinical significance, denote associations with FDA-approved therapy (not an extensive list of applicable drugs) and NCCN or other national guidelines if applicable. Can also refer to CGC workgroup tables as linked on the homepage if applicable as well as any high impact papers or reviews of gene mutations in this entity. Do not delete table.)
