Define: | A B-cell lymphoma that is a cancer of B cells presenting as an aggressive tumour which can arise in virtually any part of the body. | Malignant lymphoma composed of large B lymphoid cells whose nuclear size can exceed normal macrophage nuclei, or more than twice the size of a normal lymphocyte. The pattern is predominantly diffuse. Most of these lymphomas represent the malignant counterpart of B-lymphocytes at midstage in the process of differentiation. |
