A Practical Approach to the Diagnosis of B-Cell Lymphomas

 

The diagnosis of B-cell lymphomas is complex and even more so with the latest WHO and ICC classification systems. In this talk, we will review an architectural framework for how to approach and diagnose mature B-cell lymphomas. New entities and important updates that all pathologists and clinicians should be familiar with will also be covered.
