Large B-Cell Lymphoma and Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma; Mediastinal Grey-Zone Lymphoma;
NCIt definition : A mediastinal lymphoma with molecular, morphologic, immunophenotypic, and clinical
features of both mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma and classic Hodgkin lymphoma.
The identification of this group of lymphomas, along with recent gene expression profiling
results (PDL2 gene expression in both mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma tissues
and Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines), further supports the hypothesis that mediastinal
(thymic) large B-cell lymphomas and classic Hodgkin lymphomas are related entities.;
