| == Overview == | | ==[[Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]== |
| Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a subtype of [[diffuse large B-cell lymphoma]] (DLBCL). It is also considered a distinct type of [[non-Hodgkin lymphoma]] (NHL) in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. It occurs in the thymus gland. The small gland in the centre of the chest behind the sternum where lymphocytes mature, multiply and become T cells. or lymph nodes in the center of the chest. On microscopic histopathological analysis, large-sized cells and alveolar fibrosis are characteristic findings of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. The incidence of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 35 years. Symptoms of the primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma include [[fever]], [[weight loss]], [[night sweats]], skin rash, facial swelling, cough, shortness of breath, and painless swelling in the neck, axilla, groin, thorax, or abdomen. Lymph node or mediastinal mass biopsy is diagnostic of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. The predominant therapy for primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma is [[chemotherapy]]. Adjunctive [[radiotherapy]], [[stem cell transplant]], and [[biological therapy]] may be required. The optimal therapy for primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma depends on the clinical presentation.<ref name="seer.cancer.gov">Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma.

| |
| * Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma is usually a fast-growing (aggressive) lymphoma.
| |
| * Patients often have localized disease in the chest at first.
| |
| * If left untreated, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma can cause shortness of breath, cough, or chest pain as the mass grows in the chest.
| |
| * Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma can also partially block the main vein ([[superior vena cava]]) that carries blood from the upper body to the heart and cause [[superior vena cava syndrome]].
| |
| * The bone marrow is rarely affected by this type of lymphoma.
| |
| * Recurrence or relapse often occurs in organs or tissues outside the lymph nodes (extranodal sites), such as the [[kidneys]] or [[central nervous system]].
