Indolent Lymphomas that Present with Clinically Aggressive Features: A Subset of Low Grade Lymphomas with a Behavior Inconsistent with the Histologic Diagnosis

We have identified a subset of indolent lymphoma whose presentation differs from their expected indolent nature. They present with aggressive features such as high LDH, high SUVs, high Ki-67 (>30%), B symptoms, unusual areas of involvement (bone, pleura, lung). In spite of the fact that histologically they resemble typical indolent NHLs, they functionally behave as aggressive NHLs.
