Abstract

Evaluation of the peripheral blood (typically including flow cytometry immunophenotyping) and/or bone marrow is often the initial testing used to make a diagnosis of many B-cell lymphomas. This chapter presents the features and differential diagnoses of B-cell lymphomas that are primarily diagnosed by evaluating blood and bone marrow samples, as well as reactive B-cell proliferations in the bone marrow and blood. The chapter will not discuss bone marrow staging of B-cell and Hodgkin lymphomas that have already been diagnosed in extramedullary tissues.
