HCV-positive DLBCL has distinct clinical and pathologic characteristics compared to its negative counterpart: patients (pts) are usually older with more frequent splenic and extranodal involvement and elevated LDH. Differently from its clinical hallmarks, the molecular landscape of this pathological entity has been scarcely outlined.
