    Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent cancer of mature B-cells but with ongoing risk of transformation to more aggressive histology over time. Recurrent mutations associated with transformation have been identified; however, prognostic features that can be discerned at diagnosis could be clinically useful. We present here comprehensive profiling of both tumor and immune compartments in 155 diagnostic FL biopsies at single-cell resolution by mass cytometry. This revealed a diversity of phenotypes but included two recurrent patterns, one which closely resembles germinal center B-cells (GCB) and another which appears more related to memory B-cells (MB). GCB-type tumors are enriched for EZH2, TNFRSF14, and MEF2B mutations, while MB-type tumors contain increased follicular helper T-cells. MB-type and intratumoral phenotypic diversity are independently associated with increased risk of transformation, supporting biological relevance of these features. Notably, a reduced 26-marker panel retains sufficient information to allow phenotypic profiling of future cohorts by conventional flow cytometry.
