==Follicular lymphoma==
==Follicular lymphoma==
===General===
*Abbreviated ''FL''.
*A very common type of lymphoma.
{{Main|Follicular lymphoma}}
*Expresses BCL2,<ref name=pmid18359244>{{cite journal |author=Vitolo U, Ferreri AJ, Montoto S |title=Follicular lymphomas |journal=Crit. Rev. Oncol. Hematol. |volume=66 |issue=3 |pages=248–61 |year=2008 |month=June |pmid=18359244 |doi=10.1016/j.critrevonc.2008.01.014 |url=}}</ref> like many other small cell lymphomas.
 
===Microscopic===
Features (lymph node):
*Abundant abnormally-shaped lymphoid follicles - '''key feature''' - including some of the following:
**Non-polarized mantle zone (normal mantle zone is usu. thicker at capsular aspect).
**Non-polarized germinal center (normal germinal center has dark & light area).
**Loss of tingible body macrophages.
**Sinuses effaced (lost).
 
Note:
*The intrafollicular component of the lymph node is compressed - follicles are often described as "kissing", as they nearly touch.
*In [[bone marrow]] specimens the neoplastic cells classically have a paratrabecular arrangement,<ref name=pmid17284114>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Iancu | first1 = D. | last2 = Hao | first2 = S. | last3 = Lin | first3 = P. | last4 = Anderson | first4 = SK. | last5 = Jorgensen | first5 = JL. | last6 = McLaughlin | first6 = P. | last7 = Medeiros | first7 = LJ. | title = Follicular lymphoma in staging bone marrow specimens: correlation of histologic findings with the results of flow cytometry immunophenotypic analysis. | journal = Arch Pathol Lab Med | volume = 131 | issue = 2 | pages = 282-7 | month = Feb | year = 2007 | doi = 10.1043/1543-2165(2007)131[282:FLISBM]2.0.CO;2 | PMID = 17284114 }}</ref> i.e. the lymphoma cells are found adjacent to the bone spicules.

====Grading====
*Grade 1-2: <= 22 centroblasts / HPF; where 1 HPF ~= 0.2376 mm^2 (22 mm eye piece @ 40X objective).
*Grade 3A: >22 centroblasts / HPF; where 1 HPF ~= 0.2376 mm^2 (22 mm eye piece @ 40X objective).
*Grade 3B: only centroblasts (within a nodular architecture).
 
Notes:
*Significant interobserver variability.<ref>DG. 17 August 2010.</ref>
*Grade 1 & Grade 2 lumped together.
*One should evaluate 10 HPFs.
*''Only'' centroblasts ''without'' a nodular architecture is ''[[Diffuse large B cell lymphoma]]'' ([[DLBCL]]).
 
The usual cut points mentioned by people with [[HPFitis]] are:<ref name=Ref_Sternberg4_813>{{Ref Sternberg4|813}}</ref>
*Grade 1: 0-5 centroblasts / HPF.
*Grade 2: 5-15 centroblasts / HPF.
