Fifty-five cases of primary extranodal high-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were investigated for bcl-2 and p53 protein expression as well as for t(14;18) translocations and p53 mutations.
Although p53 mutations have been described frequently in high-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), they have only been reported occasionally in low-grade NHL.
