diffuse large B-cell lymphoma - (pronounced) (dih-FYOOS larj. . . sel lim-FOH-muh) A term used to describe a group of rapidly growing B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) in which the cancer cells look large under a microscope. Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas are the most common type of NHL and are characterized by rapidly growing tumors in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, bone marrow, or other tissues and organs. Signs and symptoms can include swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, fatigue, and weight loss. Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas can occur at any age but are more common in older adults. They are also sometimes referred to more generically as large B-cell lymphoma
