NCIt definition : A neoplasm of follicle centre B cells which has at least a partial follicular pattern.
Follicular lymphomas comprise about 35% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the U.S.
and 22% worldwide. Most patients have widespread disease at diagnosis. Morphologically,
follicular lymphomas are classified as Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3, depending on
the percentage of the large lymphocytes present. The vast majority of cases (70-95%)
express the BCL-2 rearrangement [t(14;18)]. Histological grade correlates with prognosis.
Grades 1 and 2 follicular lymphomas are indolent and grade 3 is more aggressive (adapted
from WHO, 2001).;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A type of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (cancer of the immune system) that
is usually indolent (slow-growing). The tumor cells grow as groups to form nodules.
There are several subtypes of follicular lymphoma.; CDISC: A neoplasm of lymphoid cells which has at least a partial follicular pattern.;
