Fibrin-associated diffuse large B cell lymphoma (FA-DLBCL) is an unusual form of lymphoma associated with chronic inflammation. It unlike other large B cell lymphomas does not form mass lesions and is discovered incidentally on histologic examination. Approximately, 40 cases have been described in the English language to date. We present a rare case of FA-DLBCL incidentally discovered in a nephrectomy specimen performed for a large cystic lesion. Fibrin-associated diffuse large B cell lymphoma is an indolent tumor with excellent prognosis with surgical resection alone.
Keywords: Chronic inflammation, EBV, FA-DLBCL, Pyothorax-associated lymphoma (PAL)
