Loss of major histocompatibility class It (MHC II) expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) correlates with worse outcome, possibly from decreased immunosurveillance. Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) is a subtype of DLBCL which reportedly has frequent loss of MHC II proteins; however, PMBCL has better survival than DLBCL.
