Abstract
Fluid overload-associated large B-cell lymphoma (FO-LBCL) is a distinct entity introduced in the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Hematolymphoid Tumors (2022). It denotes a large B-cell lymphoma confined to one or more serous cavities as effusions, without a solid or nodal mass, in the absence of KSHV/HHV8 (and largely EBV) infection, arising in patients with fluid-overload states. It was previously reported under descriptive terms such as "HHV8-negative primary effusion lymphoma-like lymphoma." We describe two cases illustrating the WHO-HAEM5 diagnostic criteria and the diagnostic and prognostic workup of this entity.
期刊介绍:
Diagnostic Cytopathology is intended to provide a forum for the exchange of information in the field of cytopathology, with special emphasis on the practical, clinical aspects of the discipline. The editors invite original scientific articles, as well as special review articles, feature articles, and letters to the editor, from laboratory professionals engaged in the practice of cytopathology. Manuscripts are accepted for publication on the basis of scientific merit, practical significance, and suitability for publication in a journal dedicated to this discipline. Original articles can be considered only with the understanding that they have never been published before and that they have not been submitted for simultaneous review to another publication.
