Features:
*Atypical large lymphoid cells - see ''[[DLBCL]]''.
*Classically associated with:
**Fibrosis
**Clear cells.
 
Note:
*Neither fibrosis or clear cells are required for the [[diagnosis]] nor are they pathognomonic.<ref name=pmid11251018 >{{Cite journal  | last1 = van Besien | first1 = K. | last2 = Kelta | first2 = M. | last3 = Bahaguna | first3 = P. | title = Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma: a review of pathology and management. | journal = J Clin Oncol | volume = 19 | issue = 6 | pages = 1855-64 | month = Mar | year = 2001 | doi =  | PMID = 11251018 }}</ref>

- LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA IN A FIBROTIC BACKGROUND WITH NECROSIS, SEE COMMENT
 
COMMENT:
Morphology:
Tumour cells: size ~2x a mature lymphocyte, a moderate quantity of grey/basophilic
  cytoplasm, no clear cells are identified.
Cells intermixed with tumour: mature lymphocytes, rare eosinophils.
Architecture: no gland formation, discohesive, no follicles apparent, extensive fibrosis.
 
Tumour cells:
POSITIVE: CD45, CD20, CD10, BCL-6, BCL-2.
NEGATIVE: pankeratin, PLAP, CD3, CD30.
Ki-67: 50% of large (lymphoid) cells.
