Demystifying the diagnosis and classification of lymphoma: a guide to the hematopathologist’s galaxy

Final remarks

The diagnosis of lymphoma can be complex and usually requires the hematopathologist to integrate multiple parameters. The classification of lymphomas is not static, and new entities or variants are continuously described, and the facets of well-known ones refined. While such changes are often to the chagrin of hematologists/oncologists and hematopathologists alike, we should embrace the incorporation of nascent and typically cool data into our practice, as more therapeutically relevant entities are molded.
