A spindle cell variant of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is characterized by T-cell/ myofibrohistio -rich stromal alterations: analysis of 10 cases and a review of the literature
European Journal of Haematology, 06/29/2012
Kimura Y et al. – T–cell/myofibrohistio–rich stromal alterations in Spindle–shaped diffuse large B–cell lymphoma (Sp–DLBCL), especially those mediated by transforming growth factor–β1 (TGFβ1) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), may play a role in the transition of lymphoma cells into those with spindle–shaped features.
