The conceptual description of Follicular lymphoma (FL) in the 5th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of haematolymphoid tumors (WHO-HAEM5) has undergone significant revision. The vast majority of FL (85%) with a follicular growth pattern are composed of centrocytes and centroblasts, harbor the t(14;18)(q32;q21) translocation and are now termed classic FL (cFL). They are set apart from three related subtypes, FL with predominantly follicular growth pattern, FL with unusual cytological features (uFL) and follicular large B-cell lymphoma (FLBCL). In contrast to the revised 4th edition of the WHO classification of haematolymphoid tumors (WHO-HAEM4R), grading of cFL is no longer mandatory. FL with a predominantly diffuse growth pattern had been previously recognized in WHO-HAEM4R. It frequently occurs as a large tumor in the inguinal region and is associated with CD23 expression. An absence of the IGH::BCL2 fusion and frequent STAT6 mutations along with 1p36 deletion or TNFRSF14 mutation is typical. The newly introduced subtype of uFL includes two subsets that significantly diverge from cFL: one with "blastoid" and one with "large centrocyte" variant cytological features. uFL more frequently displays variant immunophenotypic and genotypic features. FLBCL is largely identical to WHO-HAEM4R FL grade 3B and renaming was done for reasons of consistency throughout the classification. In-situ follicular B-cell neoplasm, pediatric-type FL, duodenal-type FL and primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma are categorized as discrete entities. In addition, novel findings concerning underlying biological mechanisms in the pathogenesis of early and systemic follicular lymphoma will be presented.
