Preferred Label : Fibrin-Associated Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma;
NCIt synonyms : Fibrin-Associated EBV-Positive Large B-Cell Lymphoma; FA-DLBCL;
NCIt definition : An unusual form of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It is not mass-forming and does
not directly produce symptoms, but it is discovered incidentally on histological examination
of surgical pathology specimens, excised for various pathologies other than lymphoma.
The specimens typically contain fibrinous materials. Single and small aggregates of
large lymphoma cells are found in only small foci within the fibrinous or amorphous
material. EBV is positive, with type III latency. The clinical outcome is highly favorable,
even with surgical excision alone. (WHO 2017);
