title: Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma.
abstract: Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL) is a distinct disease entity that has a relatively short history. The prognosis and therapy of patients with PMLBCL is still controversial. We summarize our experience with PMLBCL at the Medical University of South Carolina between 1997 and 2000.
