Abstract
Follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas consist of the follicular centroblastic-centrocytic lymphomas (Kiel classification) and of the follicular small cleaved (FSC), follicular mixed (FM), and follicular large cell (FLC) lymphomas (International Working Formulation, IWF). The FSC and FM subtypes forming the majority of follicular lymphoma are considered to be of low-grade malignancy whereas the FLC subtype is classified as intermediate. About one third of all the patients with NHL have a follicular histology with a median age of over 50 years.
