N = 82 patients. For clinical features, number in parentheses denotes total cases with information available. For the molecular and IHC features, counts are presented as a fraction, wherein the denominator denotes the number of cases for which a particular feature could be obtained. Rearrangement (break-apart) positive denotes a separation of the green and red signals or a loss of 1 signal in >5% of scored nuclei per case. Amplification denotes in excess of 4 fusion signals per nuclei, with >10% of nuclei having this signal pattern per case. Estimates are rounded.

Missing clinical information: stage, n = 1; B symptoms, n = 2, performance status, n = 1; lactose dehydrogenase, n = 8; mass size, n = 2; IPI/CNS-IPI, n = 9 PDL.

No chemotherapy or palliative chemotherapy: chemotherapy refusal, n = 7; frail, n = 6; CVP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone) n = 1.

Failed MYD88 mutation analysis, n = 2; failed FISH analysis: BCL2, n = 7; BCL6, n = 7; PDL1/2, n = 6; MYC, n = 9, CIITA n = 6.
