Abstract

Background: B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma exhibits a wide histological spectrum with various subtypes, each characterized by distinct pathological features and differing CD20 expression levels. Objectives: To identify the pathological characteristics and CD20 expression in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Materials and methods: A case study  involving 35 cases that met the inclusion criteria at Can Tho Oncology Hospital. Results: The average age of the study subjects was 58.9 years, with a higher incidence in males. B symptoms were present in 25.7% of cases, ECOG ≥ 2 in 20.0%, elevated serum LDH in 62.9%, and bone marrow infiltration in 8.6%. The most common histological subtype was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (65.7%). Most cases were in stage III (54.3%), with the majority being in the low to intermediate-risk group according to the IPI (34.3%). CD20 over-expression was 65.7%. Conclusions: No association was observed between CD20 expression and the pathological features of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
