In this study the authors attempted to establish immunopathologic criteria for the distinction of various T-cell lymphomas affecting the skin. We studied skin specimens from 27 patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) (n = 12), the Sézary syndrome (SS) (n = 6), adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) (n = 4), and nonepidermotropic T-cell lymphoma of large cell (n = 4) and lymphoblastic (n = 1) types. Identification of tumor cells in mixed cell populations and detection of weak expression of surface antigens by tumor cells was facilitated by immunoelectron microscopy. The mature helper T-cell phenotype (T11+ T3+ T4+) was found in 14 of 18 cases of MF/SS. One case of MF had a cytotoxic/suppressor (T4- T8+ 3A1+) phenotype; one with frequent blastic cells showed only weak expression of T4 antigen; 2 cases of SS were T11-. Tumor cells infiltrating the skin expressed 3Al antigen in 44% and cellular activation antigens Ia and/or Tac in 78% of patients with MF/SS. No consistent phenotypic differences were found between ATL cells from ATLV (HTLV) antibody-positive patients and tumor cells of patients with MF/SS who lacked this antibody. In contrast, a group of nonepidermotropic T-cell lymphomas showed phenotypic differences from MF/SS and ATL in all but 1 case. These cases were distinguished by the frequent absence of T3, T4, and Leu 1 antigens in 3 large-cell lymphomas; frequent expression of Ki-1 antigen, a Hodgkin's disease-associated antigen, in 2 cases with RS-like cells; and an immature thymocyte phenotype in lymphoblastic lymphoma. These findings demonstrate that tumor-cell phenotypes can be useful in distinguishing different histologic types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. 相似文献

A case of mycosis fungoides in which pathologic rupture of the spleen led to intraperitoneal hemorrhage and death is described. To our knowledge, splenic rupture has not been reported previously as a cause of death in mycosis fungoides. Immunologic studies demonstrated that the neoplastic cell was a suppressor/cytotoxic T-cell. In most cases of mycosis fungoides or the Sézary syndrome, the neoplastic cell has been a helper/inducer T-cell. This case was very aggressive clinically with prominent visceral involvement and suggests that mycosis fungoides may be clinically diverse as well as immunologically heterogeneous. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to determine the prognostic value of bone marrow histopathologic and molecular analyses in 53 patients with mycosis fungoides and 7 with Sézary syndrome. Bone marrow was involved in only 1 patient with Sézary syndrome, clinical stage IVA, before bone marrow biopsy. An ambiguous T-cell infiltrate was observed in 8 patients but was not associated with disease progression. The bone marrow specimen was normal in 51 patients. Monoclonality was detected in the skin specimen in 44 cases; an identical T-cell clone in the blood specimen was found in 21 of them and, in 16 of the 21 patients, in bone marrow specimens without histologic correlation. Multivariate analysis confirmed that clinical stage and detection by polymerase chain reaction of an identical T-cell clone in skin and blood specimens had an independent prognostic value. No further prognostic value was observed for the presence of a T-cell clone in bone marrow specimens. Our data do not support the need for bone marrow examination in patients with mycosis fungoides/Sézary syndrome. 相似文献

Seventy-five peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTLs) were classified according to the recently proposed "Updated Kiel Classification of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas" (mycosis fungoides and Sezary's syndrome excluded). Thirty-seven PTLs belonged to the low-grade category (T-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia [T-CLL], 3; lymphoepithelioid, 4; angioimmunoblastic, 22; T-zone, 6; pleomorphic small cell, 2) and 38 belonged to the high-grade category (pleomorphic medium and large cell, 24; immunoblastic, 1; large-cell anaplastic Ki-1-positive, 13). Loss of pan-T antigens occurred exclusively in high-grade PTLs; on paraffin sections UCHL 1 was slightly more sensitive than MT 1. Sixty patients presented with lymphadenopathy and 15 patients (20%) presented with extranodal disease most frequently affecting the skin and upper aerodigestive tract. B-cell lymphoma symptoms were found in 43 cases (57%) and bone marrow involvement (T-CLL excluded) was found in 12 cases (17%). Staging (T-CLL excluded) revealed stage I in 13%, stage II in 15%, and stages III and IV in 72% of the cases. Among the intensively treated patients, 37% achieved complete remission and 15 are still in complete remission after 4 to 79 months (median: 24 months). The overall median survival (MS) rate was 23 months. Peripheral T-cell lymphoma of pleomorphic medium and large-cell type was the most aggressive lymphoma (MS: 8 months). B-cell lymphoma symptoms, bone marrow involvement, and Ki-67 positivity 60% or greater significantly shortened survival times, whereas age (under 60 versus over 60 years), stage (I and II versus III and IV), and grade had no significant influence. Ki-67 reactivity was found to be a prognostic factor which allows prediction of probable poor outcome, especially in cases with limited stage of disease. 相似文献

In examining the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, we found the cell cycle-regulating protein p16 to be absent in T cells. Immunohistochemical staining with p16-specific antibodies showed that the number of p16-expressing cells in cutaneous lesions decreases in late stages. The repression of p16 was not attributable to deletion or methylation of this gene; however, the Bmi-1 oncogene, a known suppressor of p16, was present in mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome cell lines and skin lesions. The absence of p16 correlated with the phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein on cyclin D/CDK4- or cyclin D/CDK6-specific sites. Ki-ras, which stimulates phosphorylation of retinoblastoma via cyclin-dependent kinases, was found in all tested cutaneous T-cell lymphoma samples; and its expression generally was stronger in advanced stages. Thus, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma cells show changes in oncogene and tumor suppressor gene expression that increase proliferation. 相似文献

Clusterin expression has been reported to be characteristic of systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma and usually negative in cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma as well as other lymphoma types. We surveyed clusterin expression using immunohistochemical methods in 266 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease to further assess the diagnostic utility of this marker. Clusterin immunostaining was observed in 40 of 49 (82%) systemic anaplastic large cell lymphomas and 12 of 29 (41%) cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphomas. Clusterin also was expressed in 5 of 43 (12%) diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (4 of 5 CD30+), 1 of 14 (7%) peripheral T-cell lymphomas, 1 of 32 (3%) cases of nodular sclerosis Hodgkin's disease, and 1 case of mycosis fungoides in large cell transformation. Clusterin was negative in all other neoplasms assessed including follicular lymphoma of all grades (n = 24), mantle cell lymphoma (n = 13), marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (n = 12), precursor T-cell or B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (n = 10), mixed cellularity Hodgkin's disease (n = 8), chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (n = 7), Burkitt lymphoma (n = 7), mycosis fungoides (n = 4), nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's disease (n = 3), lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (n = 2), and plasmacytoma (n = 2). We conclude that clusterin is a marker of anaplastic large cell lymphoma and that addition of clusterin to antibody panels designed to distinguish systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma from classical Hodgkin's disease is useful. However, clusterin is also positive in a substantial subset of cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphomas, a smaller subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, and rarely in cases of peripheral T-cell lymphoma and nodular sclerosis Hodgkin's disease. 相似文献

The activity of the interferon-induced enzyme 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (2',5' An synthetase) was found to be increased in the lysates of peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes obtained from 10 of 25 (40%) patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome). A positive association was found between the level of mean total synthetase activity and extent of involvement (stage) of disease. However, the leukocytes from two patients with relatively high proportions of neoplastic T-cells in the blood (Sézary syndrome) had negligible enzyme activity. It is speculated that increased interferon production in vivo may account for the observed enzyme changes in normal blood leukocytes from these patients, and that the neoplastic T-cell population is the most likely source of the presumed interferon production. Possible mechanisms and biologic consequences of high levels of endogenous interferon in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma are discussed. 相似文献

This paper deals with the histological and ultrastructural findings in a case of the Sézary syndrome. The striking nuclear and cytoplasmic features of the Sézary cell are illustrated, and the similarities of this cell to the mycosis fungoides cell are once more stressed. 相似文献

The strengths and weaknesses of various laboratory methods for peripheral blood (PB) Sézary cell quantitation have not been compared rigorously. In this study, manual Sézary cell counting, qualitative and quantitative flow cytometry, T-cell receptor (TCR) Vbeta flow cytometry, and TCR polymerase chain reaction were performed on PB specimens from 11 patients with Sézary syndrome (SS), 9 with reactive erythroderma, 6 with mycosis fungoides, and 11 healthy control subjects. These methods identified neoplastic cells in more than 90% of SS cases. The diagnostic specificities of these tests varied; they were enhanced by applying criteria proposed by the International Society for Cutaneous Lymphoma. Comparison of sequentially analyzed specimens from 6 patients with SS revealed that although the absolute number of clonal cells was reduced, in some cases, these cells still constituted the vast majority of the CD4+ T-cell subset, suggesting that quantitative subset analysis might be sufficient to monitor changes in the PB tumor burden. 相似文献

Human non-Hodgkin's lymphomas were studied by means of an avidin biotin complex immunoperoxidase method using several monoclonal antibodies against the intermediate filament protein, vimentin. The study cases were 61 B cell lymphomas (including 2 plasmacytomas) and 30 T cell lymphomas (including 8 cases of mycosis fungoides). Twelve of the 61 B cell lymphomas were positive for vimentin, and were composed of extrafollicular center cells such as immunoblastic and plasmacytoid cells. On the other hand, lymphomas of follicular center cell origin were negative for vimentin. All cases of T cell lymphoma except for 14 (all of 9 AlLD- type lymphomas, all of 4 lymphoblastic lymphomas and one diffuse mixed small/ large lymphoma) were positive for vimentin. Although vimentin expression appeared to be influenced by various conditions such as the proportion of T- and B cell subsets, or B cell proliferation rate, follicular center cells were constantly negative for vimentin. 相似文献

Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome in Japan. Clinicopathologic study of 107 autopsy cases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We reviewed 111 clinical and pathological materials of patients who had been entered as mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) in the Annuals of the Pathological Autopsy Cases in Japan during the 29-year-period since the Annuals' inception in 1958. One hundred and seven patients were classified. Of these, 64 were in Group 1 (mycosis fungoides, MF), 23 in Group II (Sézary syndrome, SS), and 20 in Group III (non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, NHL). The clinicopathologic features of Groups I and II (MF, SS) were similar to those of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) in Europe and the United States. Those of Group III (NHL) were indistinguishable from primary cutaneous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It was suggested that some patients with adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) with skin lesions used to be misdiagnosed as MF or SS in earlier years when ATLL was still unknown. It was concluded that CTCL in Japan has clinicopathologic features quite like those of CTCL in Europe and the United States and that they are probably the same disease. 相似文献

The loss of CD26 expression was proposed to be a constant feature of circulating Sézary cells by flow cytometric immunophenotyping (FCIP), but the experience with CD26 is limited. To establish its usefulness, CD26 results were correlated with morphologic, molecular, and immunophenotypic findings. Based on FCIP of 179 samples of peripheral blood, CD26 negativity was found in 59.3% of cases with Sézary syndrome (SS), 33.3% of mycosis fungoides (MF), 14.2% of benign dermatosis (BD), and no control cases. In diagnostic subgroups of SS based on morphologic, molecular, and immunophenotypic criteria, the percentage of CD26- cases varied from 41.1% to 63.6%. The specificity of a CD26- result was inferior to that of T-cell antigen loss in differentiating SS from MF and BD. CD26 offers lower diagnostic performance than previously suggested; however, in addition to the findings of major T-cell antigen loss, it could improve sensitivity of FCIP in patients with SS. 相似文献

Heterogeneity of CD3 antigen expression in T-cell lymphoma 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

CD 3 antigen expression was studied in a series of 98 T-cell lymphomas, using polyclonal antibodies which recognize this molecule in routinely processed, paraffin-embedded, tissue. We identified 40 cases in which CD3 was present on only a proportion of the neoplastic cells. This phenomenon of heterogeneous CD3 expression was commonest in pleomorphic T-cell lymphomas (22/42 cases) and in CD30 (Ki-1)-positive lymphomas (5/11 cases), and was less frequently observed in mycosis fungoides (4/18 cases) and not seen in T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (0/9 cases). CD3 expression was often related to cell morphology, with CD3 antigen being present on the smaller neoplastic cells but absent from the larger ones. The diagnostic significance of these observations is that, on occasion, it may be possible to diagnose a lymphoma as being of T-cell origin in paraffin sections by demonstrating a minor subpopulation of CD3-positive neoplastic cells. 相似文献

Characterization of Non-Hodgkin''s Lymphomas Using Multiple Cell Markers: Immunologic, Morphologic, and Cytochemical Studies of 72 Cases 下载免费PDF全文
Tissues from 72 cases (87 specimens) of various non-Hodgkin's lymphomas were analyzed for cell markers using multiple techniques. Cell suspensions were evaluated for E, EAC, and IgGEA rosette forming cells; Fc receptor cells; and surface immunoglobulin bearing cells. Cryostat section studies topographically defined EAC binding cells. Cytochemical determinations and immunoperoxidase methods for detection of intracellular immunoglobulin and lysozyme complemented other techniques in evaluating infiltrates containing large neoplastic cells. B-cell malignancies comprised 58 cases (80%) of this series and included well and moderately well differentiated lymphocytic lymphomas (10/10); nodular (23/23) and diffuse (10/18) poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphomas; and lymphomas of mixed lymphocytic-“histiocytic” (3/3), “undifferentiated” (3/3), and “histiocytic” (9/13) types. Nodular lymphomas were characterized as B-cell neoplasms but also revealed a prominent population of T lymphocytes (39 ± 12%). Alkaline phosphatase activity, a cytochemical marker for lymphoid cells of follicular cuffs, was most consistently observed in B-cell lymphomas of moderately well differentiated lymphocytic type (4/6 cases). In some diffuse lymphomas, cryostat section studies (EAC rosettes) suggested a pre-existing nodular proliferation. One unusual B-cell lymphoma of large cell type exhibited IgGEA rosette formation and a strong receptor for the Fc portion of IgG. Ten lymphomas (14%) were of T-cell type and were represented by cases of diffuse poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma (5/18, including 3 lymphoblastic lymphomas), Sézary syndrome (1), mycosis fungoides (1), and a cytologically distinctive large cell (“histiocytic”) lymphoma (3/13). Acid phosphatase activity was a consistent marker for the T-cell malignancies, some of which also revealed α-naphthyl butyrate esterase activity. No true histiocytic lymphomas were detected. Three cases of diffuse poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma and one “histiocytic” lymphoma were null. 相似文献

Human T-cell malignancies: Correlative clinical, histopathologic, immunologic, and cytochemical analysis of 23 cases. 总被引:1,自引:7,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
Twenty-three T-cell neoplasms were investigated for their reactivity with the OKT monoclonal antibodies and expression of certain cytochemical markers. Fourteen neoplasms with diverse histopathologic features, T-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, mycosis fungoides, the Sézary syndrome, T-immunoblastic sarcoma, and a pleomorphic large-cell lymphoma, expressed the T helper cell phenotype, OKT3+T4+. Nine other neoplasms displayed marked inter- and intra- tumor heterogeneity. Seven of these cases, lymphoblastic lymphoma, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and tumors with feature of T-immunoblastic sarcoma or the multilobated lymphoma of Pinkus, expressed intrathymic phenotypes. The other 2 cases, a lymphoblastic lymphoma and a so-called Lennert's lymphoma, expressed the previously undescribed OKT3+T10+ phenotype. These studies demonstrate that the T-cell malignancies are divisible into phenotypes corresponding to normal maturational stages of T-cell differentiation and functionally distinct T-cell subsets. Such studies should provide a basis for understanding the biologic heterogeneity, clinical diversity, and significance of the variable cytomorphologic characteristics of T-cell malignant tumors and assist in the further delineation of normal human T-cell heterogeneity. 相似文献

Within the group of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs), mycosis fungoides (MF), Sézary's syndrome (SS), and CD30-positive lymphomas have been delineated as clinicopathological entities. Primary CTCLs that do not belong to one of these entities represent a heterogeneous and ill-defined group of neoplasms. This paper describes the clinical and histological features of 35 of such cases. The object of t his study was to define prognostic parameters for this group of primary CTCLs. Using a slightly modified version of the updated Kiel classification, a subdivision was made into CTCL, pleomorphic, small cell type (n = 3); plemorphic, medium-sized cell type (n = 6); pleomorphic, large cell type (n = 18); and immunoblastic lymphomas (n = 8). Altogether, these lymphomas had a poor prognosis with estimated 2- and 4-year survival rates of 53 and 22 per cent, respectively. Patients with pleomorphic, small and medium-sized cell lymphomas (n = 9) proved to have a significantly better survival that those with pleomkorphic, large cell lymphomas (P = 0·032) and immunoblastic lymphomas (P = 0·008). Primary cutaneous immunoblastic lymphomas had the worst prognosis with an estimated 2-year survival rate of 14 per cent. Other parameters including age (P = 0·345), sex (P = 0·345), sex (P = 0·662), extent of skin lesions at presentation (P = 0·0854), and mode of initial treatment (P = 0·609) had no significant effect on the survival time. The results of this study suggest that primary CTCLs other than classical MF, SS, and CD30-positive lymphomas have a poor prognosis in most cases, and that the current classification may be a useful means of predicting the clinical behaviour in these lymphomas. 相似文献

Fifteen cases of generalized peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in baboons were phenotyped immunologically and morphologically. Using the updated Kiel classification the cases included low-grade and high-grade lymphomas and low-grade lymphomas that had transformed into high-grade lymphomas. In the low-grade group there were seven cases of lymphocytic type, partly corresponding to chronic lymphocytic leukaemia of T type and to T-zone lymphoma in man. In addition there were four cases of prolymphocytic-lymphocytic type, which show large nodules (proliferation centres) and which have no equivalent in the Kiel classification. In four cases there was a progression to an immunoblastic lymphoma and in one case to a large cell anaplastic lymphoma. In addition, three cases of large cell anaplastic lymphoma without a low-grade component were found. Both the immunoblastic lymphomas and the large cell anaplastic lymphomas corresponded well with the same types in the Kiel classification. The cases of large cell anaplastic lymphoma were also CD30 positive. Most of these lymphomas were CD4 positive, but there were rare cases that were either CD8 positive, showed both CD4 and CD8 positivity or had lost both antigens. Antigens associated with cell activation were often revealed. All but one baboon had antibodies in the blood against the retrovirus STLV-1 (simian T-cell leukaemia virus 1), which is very similar to human T-cell leukaemia virus 1 (HTLV-1) in man. Despite this virological resemblance, the morphology of these T-cell lymphomas does not resemble that of the HTLV-1-positive Japanese T-cell lymphomas but is like that of the HTLV-1-negative European cases. 相似文献

The ultrastructural features of Reed-Sternberg cells and reactive epithelioid histiocytes from patients with Hodgkin's disease were compared with those of large cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The cytoplasmic organelles of Reed-Sternberg cells were dissimilar to those of neoplastic large lymphocytes from follicular centre cell lymphomas, immunoblastic lymphomas, lymphoblastic lymphomas, and mycosis fungoides both in type and distribution. Reed-Sternberg cells could be distinguished from reactive epithelioid histiocytes; however, the cytoplasmic organization of the Reed-Sternberg cells bore a closer resemblance to these histiocytes than to the cells of the various large cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. 相似文献
