Abstract

Highlights: PMLBCL rarely extends to extranodal subdiaphragmatic (ES) sites at diagnosis. Among 455 patients, 32 (7%) had such localization at baseline. Kidney, liver, and adrenals were most frequently involved. ES site involvement had not independent prognostic impact beyond that of stage IV.
