Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma

Overview
The B-cell lymphomas are types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma affecting B cells. It develops more frequently in immunocompromised individuals (such as those with AIDS.)

There are fourteen kinds of lymphomas involving B cells. Five account for nearly three out of four patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma:


 * Diffuse large B cell lymphoma
 * Follicular lymphoma
 * Mucosa-Associated Lymphatic Tissue lymphoma (MALT)
 * Small cell lymphocytic lymphoma (overlaps with Chronic lymphocytic leukemia)
 * Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)

The remaining nine are much less common:
 * Burkitt lymphoma
 * Mediastinal large B cell lymphoma
 * Waldenström macroglobulinemia
 * Nodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma (NMZL)
 * Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL)
 * Extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma
 * Intravascular large B cell lymphoma
 * Primary effusion lymphoma
 * Lymphomatoid granulomatosis

Additionally, some researchers separate out lymphomas that appear result from other immune system disorders, such as AIDS-related lymphoma.
