Abstract

Fibrin-associated diffuse large B cell lymphoma (FA-DLBCL) is a rare Epstein-Barr viruspositive B cell lymphoma that is nonmass-forming, does not directly produce symptoms, and is incidentally discovered on histological examination of tissues excised for other reasons. Despite overlap in morphologic and immunophenotypic features with aggressive B cell neoplasms, FA-DLBCL shows an excellent clinical outcome, even with surgical excision alone. We report an extremely rare occurrence of FA-DLBCL found in association with a metallic implant on revision arthroplasty of the knee. This report also illustrates the need for an integrated multidisciplinary approach for accurate diagnosis and avoidance of overtreatment.
