Denotes provisional entities in the 2008 WHO classification.

# An initial diagnosis of “B lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, NOS” may need to be given before the cytogenetic results are available.

## These disorders are listed for completeness, but not all of them represent frank lymphomas.

### Classical Hodgkin lymphoma type PTLD can be reported using either this protocol or the separate College of American Pathologists protocol for Hodgkin lymphoma.
