[Mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma]

Abstract

The group of mediastinal B-cell lymphomas from large cells includes such pathogenic-connected diseases as diffuse large-cell B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal large-cell B-cell lymphoma, and recently separated rare nosological form--mediastinal lymphoma of grey zone and classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. Comparative characteristics of these tumors allow revealing many similarities, which in some cases creates significant difficulties for differential diagnosis. Wherein the members of the group differ by their clinical and epidemiological features, prognosis and require different treatment.
