Typical FCL morphology
Background
Follicular lymphoma expresses CD10, with other immunophenotypic featues differing from related disorders.
However, individual markers may not be expressed in all cases - confirmation can be made from histopathology, cytogenetic or genetic testing.

Immunophenotype of FL | |||
---|---|---|---|
Major markers useful in CLL diagnosis | |||
Marker | Freq | Level | Comment |
κ/λ | Expect κ or λ expression, undetectable in rare cases | ||
CD19 | - | Expression is expected, but may be weak or undectable | |
CD5 | - | Expression of CD5 is characteristic of MCL | |
CD10 | Strg | Expression is expected though not universal in FL | |
CD23 | - | May be expressed by some cases of FL | |
FMC7 | - | Occasionally seen, FMC7 is not typical of FL | |
Other relevant markers | |||
CD11C | Expression is not typically seen in FL | ||
CD20 | - | Expression is expected, rare cases may have CD20 loss | |
CD25 | Not typical of FL, where present it is not generally strong | ||
CD38 | - | Expression is expected in FL but CD138 should be absent | |
CD43 | - | Expression is uncommon in FL, may be helpful in some cases | |
CD79b | Expression is expected and should be stronger than CLL | ||
CD103 | - | Not expressed by FL, consider HCL if found | |
CD138 | - | Predominantly expressed at plasma cell differentiation | |
CD200 | - | Characteristically (though not always) negative in FL |
