This answer has been corrected. See above.

Code the histology for a low grade B-cell lymphoma with plasmacytic differentiation to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [9680/3].

Plasmacytic differentiation is occasionally seen in B-cell lymphoma. In most cases, the physician will order immunophenotyping studies to confirm that the CD (antigens on the cell surface) are those of a B-cell lymphoma rather than a plasma cell neoplasm.
