In the first part of the paper, we review the following categories: LBLs transformed from indolent B-cell lymphomas, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (DLBCL, NOS), double-hit/triple-hit lymphomas (DH/TH), high-grade large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (HGBCL, NOS), LBCL with IRF4 rearrangement, Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and HGBCL/LBCL with 11q aberration, focusing on the differences between the two classifications. Here, IRF4 is linked to Burkitt lymphoma.
