We report a patient initially diagnosed with a triple hit high‐grade B cell lymphoma (HGBL‐TH), in which further morphologic, immunohistochemical, and next‐generation sequencing studies of subsequent specimens disclosed it to be a germinal center diffuse large B cell lymphoma (GC‐DLBCL) with BCL2/BCL6 gene translocations, PVT1‐deletion, and gain of MYC genes evolving from a previous follicular lymphoma. The gene discussed is PVT1; the disease is B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
