* Three variants are most commonly seen: centroblastic, immunoblastic, and anaplastic.
===Centroblastic===
* Most cases of  are diffuse large B cell lymphoma centroblastic, having the appearance of medium-to-large-sized [[lymphocyte]]s with scanty [[cytoplasm]].  
* Oval or round [[Cell nucleus|nuclei]] containing fine [[chromatin]] are prominently visible, having two to four [[nucleoli]] within each nucleus.
* Sometimes the tumour may be monomorphic, composed almost entirely of centroblasts.
* However, most cases are polymorphic, with a mixture of centroblastic and immunoblastic cells.
===Immunoblastic===
* Immunoblasts have significant [[basophilic]] cytoplasm and a central nucleolus.
* A tumour can be classified as immunoblastic if greater than 90% of its cells are immunoblasts. This distinction can be problematic, however, because hematopathologists reviewing the microscope slides may often disagree on whether a collection of cells is best characterized as centroblasts or immunoblasts.<ref name="Harris1994">{{cite journal |pmid=8068936 |year=1994 |last1=Harris |first1=N.

===Anaplastic===
* The third morphologic variant, [[Anaplasia|anaplastic]], consists of tumour cells which appear very differently from their normal B cell counterparts.
* The cells are generally very large with a round, oval, or polygonal shape and pleomorphic nuclei, and may resemble [[Hodgkin's lymphoma#Pathology|Hodgkin cells]] or reed–Sternberg cell.

Overview

Excisional Lymph node or extranodal tissue biopsy is diagnostic of diffuse large B cell lymphoma.

Biopsy

  • Surgical Excision Biopsy of Lymph node or extranodal tissue is diagnostic of diffuse large B cell lymphoma.[1]
  • Needle-Core Excision and Endoscopic Biopsies should be reserved for patients in which surgery is too risky or impractical.
  • FNA not used for diagnosis alone.
  • To view findings on biopsy characteristic of each morphological variant of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, click here.
  • morphological Diagnosis of DLBCL on Biopsy should always be confirmed by Immunophenotypic techniques like Flow cytometry or IHC or Both.
