B-cell lymphomas include both Hodgkin's lymphomas and most Non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

  • Excisional lymph node biopsy is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of B-cell lymphomas. It is the preferred method to protect the architecture of lymph nodes, which is crucial for pathological evaluation and classification of lymphoma.[1][2][3][4]
  • Fine-needle aspiration or core-needle biopsy specimens are usually insufficient because these methods have a low ratio of malignant cells and they do not sufficiently preserve the architecture of lymph nodes.
  • Diagnostic studies of B-cell lymphomas include light microscopic evaluation of pathologic sample, as well as an immunophenotypic analysis with immunohistochemistry to determine the subtype.
