Lymphoid neoplasms with plasmablastic differentiation
Joflaher: This sub-group of lymphomas has been recently recognized, I will update, modify, and integrated this page into the cited Wikipedia pages.
'''Lymphoid neoplasms with plasmablastic differentiation''' were classified by the [[World Health Organization]], 2017 as a sub-grouping of several distinct but rare lymphomas in which the malignant cells are [[B-cell]] lymphocytes that have become plasmablasts, i.e. [[Plasma cell#Immature plasma cells|immature plasma cells]].<ref name="pmid31725418">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Normally, [[B-cell]]s take up foreign antigens, move to the [[germinal center]]s of secondary [[lymphoid organs]] such the [[spleen]] and [[lymph node]]s, and at these sites are stimulated by [[T-cell]] lymphocytes to [[Cellular differentiation|differentiate]] (i.e. change their cell type) into plasmablasts and thereafter mature plasma cells. Plasmablasts, and to a greater extent, plasma cells make and secrete [[antibodies]] that bind the antigens to which their predecessor B-cells were previously exposed (see [[Plasma cell#differentiation|plasma cell differentiation]]). Antibodies function, in part, to neutralize harmful bacteria and viruses by binding antigens that are exposed on their surfaces. Due to their malignant nature, however, the plasmablasts in lymphoid neoplasms with plasmablastic differentiation do not mature into plasma cells or form antibodies but rather uncontrollably proliferate in and damage various tissues and organs. The individual lymphomas in this sub-group of [[malignancies]] have heterogeneous clinical, morphological, and gene findings that often overlap with other members of the sub-group. In consequence, correctly diagnosing these lymphomas has been challenging.<ref name="pmid31360094">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Nonetheless, it is particularly important to diagnose them correctly because they often have very different prognoses and treatments.<ref name="pmid31725418"/> The lymphoid neoplasms with plasmacytic differentiation are:<ref name="pmid31725418"/><ref name="pmid31360094"/>

Except for human herpesvirus 8-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified, these lymphoid neoplasms are often associated with [[Epstein-Barr virus]] infection of the malignant plasmablastic cells. In cases so infected, the lymphoid neoplasm may result, at least in part, from this viral infection and therefore can be considered as examples of the [[Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative diseases#EBV+ B cell lymphoproliferative diseases|Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative diseases]].<ref name="pmid31725418"/>
