The immunohistochemical results are shown in number of positive cases of evaluable cases (percentage of positive cases). The data presented in this study on pediatric DLBCL are compared to data on adult DLBCL combined from published studies by Hans et al,15  Chang et al,24  and Colomo et al,25  as well as an unpublished study from our own group (W.K., R.S., unpublished observations, August 2005) by the χ2 test.

ND indicates not done; NS, not significant.
