Follicular lymphoma (FL) is generally considered an indolent disorder but a significant subset of patients shows a worse outcome. Aim of this study was to validate the FLIPI score in an independent series of follicular lymphoma patients and to correlate prognostic categories with the period of diagnosis and the use of anthracycline. ⋯ This study shows in an independent series that the FLIPI score is a reproducible prognostic index of clinical utility for the initial assessment of patients with follicular lymphoma.
