Abstract excerpt
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) represents 1% to 3% intracranial tumors. Most PCNSL are located in the brain, and 75% are large B-cell lymphomas. The largest subgroup of these tumors contains cells that resemble centroblasts and has been labelled diffuse centroblastic (polymorphous) lymphoma. To investigate the cell of origin and the clonal history of these tumors, we have analyzed V(H) gene of 5...
