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
CD45 expression
Typically expression of CD45 approaches that of normal T and B cells.
Major markers useful in 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
CD79b Expression is expected and should be stronger than CLL
CD200 - Characteristically (though not always) negative in 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
CD103 - Not expressed by FL, consider HCL if found
CD138 - Predominantly expressed at plasma cell differentiation
