Diagnostic Workup of Small B Cell Lymphomas : A Laboratory Perspective

الملخص EN

Small B cell lymphoma is a morphological designation to a group of B cell lymphomas which are composed of a clonal population of small lymphoid cells.

The subtypes of this category have diagnostically distinct characteristics and different clinical behaviors and treatment.

Correct diagnosis and classification of these subsets depend on the integration of morphologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular genetic features.

In this paper, differential diagnosis of this category of tumors and a practical approach based on biomarker evaluation are discussed.
