Microscopic evaluation
Usual follicular lymphoma has at least partial follicular (nodular) distribution.[1]
Differential diagnosis
- Follicular hyperplasia, also having prominent follicular centers. Compared to follicular lymphoma, it is more prevalent at younger age, has lower follicular density (typically not having back-to-back arrangement) and not typically having diffuse nodal effacement.[2] Further information: Follicular hyperplasia
Grading
Follicular lymphoma is graded as follows:[3]
- Grade 1: follicles have <5 centroblasts per high-power field (hpf).
- Grade 2: follicles have 6 to 15 centroblasts per hpf.
- Grade 3: follicles have >15 centroblasts per hpf.
- Grade 3A: Grade 3 in which the follicles contain predominantly centrocytes.
- Grade 3B: Grade 3 in which the follicles consist almost entirely of centroblasts.
