Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause facial swelling, superior vena cava syndrome, and fever, night sweats and weightloss such as hodgkin's lymhoma, thymoma], and other non hodgkin's lymphoma. The differentiation is determined on the basis of biopsy findings and immunophenotype, which are as follows:

Overview

Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause swollen face, superior vena cava syndrome, and fever, night sweats and weight loss such as hodgkin's lymphoma, thymoma, and other non hodgkin's lymphomas.

Differentiating [Disease name] from other Diseases

  • The differentiation is determined on the basis of biopsy findings and immunophenotype, which are as follows:
