TL;DR: In this paper, the International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group collected 137 cases for extensive pathological review, which consisted of large cells with varying degrees of nuclear polymorphism and clear to basophilic cytoplasm.
Aberrant somatic hypermutation in multiple subtypes of AIDS-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Gianluca Gaidano,Laura Pasqualucci,Daniela Capello,Eva Berra,Clara Deambrogi,Davide Rossi,Luigi Maria Larocca,Annunziata Gloghini,Antonino Carbone,Riccardo Dalla-Favera +9 more
TL;DR: A number of mutations in PIM-1 and c-MYC were found to affect coding exons, leading to amino acid substitutions with likely functional consequences and indicate that aberrant hypermutation is associated with various subtypes of AIDS-NHL and may represent a major contributor to their pathogenesis.

TL;DR: Overall, the histogenetic diversity of monoclonal B-cell PTLDs may help define biologically homogeneous categories of the disease.

Aberrant somatic hypermutation in transformation of follicular lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Davide Rossi,Eva Berra,Michaela Cerri,Clara Deambrogi,Caterina Barbieri,Silvia Franceschetti,Monia Lunghi,Annarita Conconi,Marco Paulli,András Matolcsy,Laura Pasqualucci,Daniela Capello,Gianluca Gaidano +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that acquisition of novel mutations due to aberrant somatic hypermutation was associated with DLBCL transformation in 5/9 of cases of FL and 2/9 (22.2%) cases of B-CLL.

Molecular histogenesis of plasmablastic lymphoma of the oral cavity.
Gianluca Gaidano,Michaela Cerri,Daniela Capello,Eva Berra,Clara Deambrogi,Davide Rossi,Luigi Maria Larocca,Elias Campo,Annijnziata Gloghini,Umberto Tirelli,Antonino Carbone +10 more
TL;DR: Investigation of Plasmablastic lymphoma of the oral cavity for mutations of immunoglobulin variable heavy chain (IgVH) and BCL‐6 genes, which are acquired by B cells at the time of germinal centre (GC) transit, and for expression of BCL•6, MUM‐1 and CD138, which distinguish GC B cells from post‐GC B cells indicates it is characterized by histogenetic heterogeneity.
