In suspected follicular lymphoma:

Comprehensiveness

On this resource, the following formatting is used for comprehensiveness:

  • Minimal depth
  • (Moderate depth)
  • ((Comprehensive))

Microscopic evaluation

Usual follicular lymphoma has at least partial follicular (nodular) distribution.[1]

Differential diagnosis

  • Follicular hyperplasia, also having prominent follicular centers. Compared to follicular lymphoma, it is more prevalent at younger age, has lower follicular density (typically not having back-to-back arrangement) and not typically having diffuse nodal effacement.[2] Further information: Follicular hyperplasia

Grading

Histologic comparison of cell types in a germinal center, H&E stain:
- Centrocytes are small to medium size with angulated, elongated, cleaved, or twisted nuclei.
- Centroblasts are larger cells containing vesicular nuclei with one to three basophilic nucleoli apposing the nuclear membrane.
- Follicular dendritic cells have round nuclei, centrally located nucleoli, bland and dispersed chromatin, and flattening of adjacent nuclear membrane.

Follicular lymphoma is graded as follows:[3]

  • Grade 1: follicles have <5 centroblasts per high-power field (HPF). At least 8 HPFs (1.6 mm2) should be counted. Further information: Count per area unit
  • Grade 2: follicles have 6 to 15 centroblasts per HPF.
  • Grade 3: follicles have >15 centroblasts per HPF.
    • Grade 3A: Grade 3 in which the follicles contain predominantly centrocytes.
    • Grade 3B: Grade 3 in which the follicles consist almost entirely of centroblasts.

Immunohistochemistry

The following panel of immunohistochemitry is recommended for confirmation and evaluation of follicular lymphoma:[4]

  • Suspected follicular lymphoma, grades 1 to 3a: CD10, CD20, CD21, BCL2, and cyclin D1
  • Suspected follicular lymphoma, grade 3b: CD20, CD21, BCL2, BCL6, cyclin D1 and MUM1 (same as above but without CD10 and addition of BCL6 and MUM1)

(Describe the pattern of CD21 staining of follicular dendritic cells, generally conforming to one of the following:[5])

Distribution patterns of CD21 (also applicable to CD23) of dendritic cells.[5]

Microscopic report

Example:

Lymph node, excision:
Follicular lymphoma

Comment: Sections show lymph nodal architecture which is effaced by a neoplastic nodular proliferation of predominantly small cleaved lymphoid cells (centrocytes). These cells and the interfollicular lymphocytes are positive for CD20, CD79a and Bcl-2, while the germinal center cells are also positive for CD10 and Bcl-6. There is no increase in large cells (centroblasts). These changes are consistent with a low-grade (WHO 1-2 out of 3) follicular lymphoma.
