Although primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma and classic Hodgkin lymphoma of nodular sclerosis type are distinct disease, they share several clinical characteristics and biologic features. However, there are mediastinal lymphomas that not fit in either category. These types of lymphomas are recognized as mediastinal gray zone lymphomas. Gray zone lymphomas are lymphatic tumors that cannot be assigned to a defined lymphoma entity due to morphological, clinical, or genetic reasons. In this report, we present a case of a 22 year-old-Hispanic-female diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma.
