Follicular Hodgkin lymphoma (FHL) is a form of classic Hodgkin lymphoma with morphologic similarity to nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL). We present the clinicopathologic features of 13 FHL cases and compare their morphologic features with 40 cases of NLPHL. Seven males and 6 females had FHL in the lymph nodes of the neck (6 patients), axilla (3 patients), groin (2 patients), and mediastinum (1 patient) and in the nasopharynx (1 patient). All FHLs had follicles with small, eccentric germinal centers (GCs) and expanded mantle zones containing classic Reed-Sternberg (RS) cells; reactive GCs also were seen in 6 of 13 cases. The RS cells were CD30+, fascin+ in 13 cases; CD15+ in 11 cases; CD20+ in 4 cases; CD79alpha+CD20- in 1 case; and negative for epithelial membrane antigen in 12 cases; they were surrounded by CD3epsilon+ and CD57+ rosettes in 13 and 2 cases, respectively. Morphologically, FHL may closely simulate NLPHL, and, thus, immunohistochemical analysis is essential to confirm the diagnosis. Clues helpful in diagnosing FHL include the presence offollicles with GCs, classic RS cells, and a relative absence of histiocytes. 相似文献

Although small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) is an indolent lymphoma, approximately 5% of cases can transform to a higher-grade lymphoma, rarely Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). We report the fine-needle aspiration (FNA) results of 6 cases of SLL/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that transformed to HL. FNA findings were correlated with the histologic features and clinical follow-up. The patients included 5 men and 1 woman, ranging in age from 49 to 72 years at the time of SLL/CLL diagnosis with time for development of HL ranging from 0 to 95 months (mean, 49.3 months). The FNA diagnoses were SLL with HL transformation (2 cases), SLL with large atypical cells (1 case), and atypical lymphoid proliferation with large atypical cells (3 cases). Flow cytometry performed in 5 cases (2 FNA specimens) demonstrated a monoclonal B-cell population with CD19/CD5 coexpression.The presence of large atypical mononucleated and binucleated cells in lymph node FNA specimens from patients with SLL/CLL with progressive adenopathy should raise the possibility of transformation to HL. In these cases, histologic confirmation is always recommended, not only to differentiate HL transformation from other entities but also for subclassification of HL. 相似文献

Extranodal Hodgkin disease presenting as a primary localized neoplasm is uncommon, with rare case reports describing primary sites other than lymph nodes. The gastrointestinal tract is the most frequent site of involvement by extranodal Hodgkin disease, typically involving the stomach or small bowel. To date, we have been able to find only one fully documented case of Hodgkin disease of the sigmoid colon confirmed by immunohistochemical studies. We report a case of extranodal Hodgkin disease involving the transverse colon, presenting as inflammatory bowel disease and documented by light microscopic, immunohistochemical, cytogenetic, and molecular studies. 相似文献

We describe a composite lymphoma with recurrent Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma components manifesting as a single, perforated small intestinal tumor in a 56-year-old man with a history of classical Hodgkin lymphoma and recent relapse in the bone marrow. The resected mass had 2 morphologically and immunophenotypically distinct components; 1 showed a pleomorphic cellular infiltrate with fibrosis and contained numerous, large Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg-like cells and variants. The tumor cells were CD30+ and focally positive for CD15 but CD20-, CD79a-, and PAX-5-. In situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was strongly positive in the large pleomorphic tumor cells. The adjacent component displayed sheets of relatively uniform, large lymphoid cells with typical morphologic features of diffuse large cell lymphoma. The tumor cells showed uniform expression of tested B-cell antigens, absence of CD30 or CD15, and complete absence of EBV-encoded RNA. Separate molecular studies with immunoglobulin heavy and k light chain gene rearrangements clearly demonstrated an identical rearrangement pattern, indicating derivation from the same clone, which was confirmed by direct DNA sequencing analysis. Such distinctly different morphology, immunophenotype, and EBV status in different components within a clonally related single tumor mass is striking. 相似文献

Advances in cancer treatment have led to an increase in patient survival. However, exposure to genotoxic chemotherapeutic agents and ionizing radiation may induce persistent genetic damage in cancer survivors. In this study, we detected genomic instability in chromosomes of peripheral blood lymphocytes from Hodgkin lymphoma patients, 2–17 years after MOPP (nitrogen mustard, Oncovin, procarbazine, and prednisone) chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy. Samples were obtained from 11 healthy individuals, 5 pretreatment patients, and 20 posttreatment patients. Cytogenetic analysis with GTG banding was performed on 1,000 lymphocyte metaphases per donor to identify genomic instability, including numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations, at a resolution of 10 Mb across the entire genome. Our results showed that anticancer treatment did not induce significant differences in the frequency of aneuploidy among the three study groups. However, 1 of the 11 healthy individuals, and 13 of the 20 posttreatment patients had a high frequency of chromosomal breaks and gross chromosomal rearrangements. The types of aberrations observed were random and complex, consistent with persistent genomic instability that was induced by cancer treatment. Clonal expansion of cells with chromosomal lesions was observed in one posttreatment patient only. These findings show that anticancer treatments induce persistent genomic instability, but not aneuploidy. Chemotherapy may affect genes with a role in DNA damage surveillance or repair, which in turn allows the accumulation of nontargeted structural chromosomal damage in future generations of cells. This genomic instability may facilitate the development of second malignancies in Hodgkin lymphoma survivors. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 2012. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

We evaluated clinical features, management and survival of 12 patients with primary testicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presented to our hematology unit between January 1992 and July 2006, retrospectively. The median age of patients was 47 years at presentation (range 29-78 years) and > 80% of them were < 50 years old. In the majority of cases, orchidectomy was performed as diagnostic and first-line therapeutic procedures. Dominant histological subtype was diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Seven patients out of 12 (58%) were Ann Arbor stages I and II, and the remaining five patients (42%) were stages III and IV. All the patients received doxorubicin-based chemotherapy and achieved complete remission. The addition of rituximab and central nervous system prophylaxis with intrathecal combined chemotherapy containing methotrexate, cytarabine and dexametasone were applied to three patients who were recently admitted. The rate of relapse was 8% and progression-free survival (PFS) at 10 years was 88%. Median duration of response was 84 months (range 14-173 months), median 97.5 months of follow-up. All patients are alive and in case remission. Because of the spreading nature and relapse probability at different sites, including central nervous system and contralateral testis, systemic treatment with doxorubicin-based chemotherapy with or without prophylaxis for contralateral testis and the central nervous system seems to improve the outcome of primary testicular lymphoma. 相似文献

Summary Despite the fact that the gastrointestinal tract is the commonest site of extranodal malignant lymphoma, gastrointestinal lymphomas remain poorly characterised. Attempts to fit gastrointestinal lymphoma into the newer classifications have been hampered by its relative rarity (at least in Western countries) and the poor fixation of specimens which so often bedevils gastrointestinal pathology as a whole. Apart from the overall classification there are two other aspects of gastrointestinal lymphoma that are of particular interest. These are the nature of the intestinal lymphoma that occurs as a complication of coeliac disease and the gastrointestinal lymphomas that occur so commonly in the Middle East. As newer techniques have begun to be applied to gastrointestinal lymphomas a measure of agreement over their classification is emerging. Controversy continues, however, over coeliac disease associated lymphoma particularly with regard to the recently described entity of malignant histiocytosis of the intestine. Interest in gastrointestinal lymphoma, which occurs with such high frequency in the Middle East, is directed principally at the entity called Mediterranean lymphoma which is characterised by malabsorption and plasma cell infiltration of the intestinal lamina propria. In some of these cases -heavy chain paraprotein is present in the serum or duodenal juice. There is considerable debate as to whether the plasma cell infiltrate is itself neoplastic and also as to the nature of the lymphoma that evolves in this setting. A great deal of work remains to be done in the field of gastrointestinal lymphoma with particular reference to coeliac disease and -chain disease. Morphological studies alone are insufficient and the application of newer techniques is essential if we are to increase our understanding of this important group of diseases. 相似文献

Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is a rare indolent B-cell lymphoma. However, its morphology can resemble T-cell/histiocyte rich large B-cell lymphoma (T/HRBCL), a subtype of more aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. More and more studies suggest that these two entities are closely related. In this report, a 59-year-old man with nodal NLPHL and concomitant T/HRBCL in the bone marrow is presented, the current progress in our understanding of these two closely related B-cell lymphomas reviewed and the problems in the diagnosis and differentiation of NLPHL and T/HRBCL discussed. 相似文献

A total of 52 of 238 patients (22%) with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presented with disease in a primary extranodal site. The gastrointestinal tract was the commonest site involved (50%) and diffuse large cell was the commonest histological sub-type of the lymphoma (64%). Survivorship analysis of these patients, treated predominantly with chemotherapy, suggests that long-term survival is associated with: low-grade malignancy--median survival greater than 120 months; localized disease or spread of disease confined to the regional lymph nodes--median survival 65.5 months; and the use of aggressive combination chemotherapy for intermediate grade malignancy when the disease is localized or spread is confined to the regional lymph nodes--median survival greater than 110 months. 相似文献

Knowledge and understanding of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma is ever increasing, not least in the recognition that many have a much better prognosis and require less toxic treatment than morphologically similar lymphomas presenting in lymph nodes. Nevertheless, controversy persists regarding how best to classify primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma and differentiating benign from malignant B-cell infiltrates in the skin is not always straightforward. This article addresses both these issues and provides a brief overview of recent advances made regarding the aetiology of B-cell lymphoma arising primarily in skin. 相似文献

We report the case of a 20-year-old female with lymphoma of the breast. Mammography showed an asymmetric pattern of confluent densities without any discrete mass. Sonography revealed diffuse heterogenous echoic mass intermingled with low-and medium level echoes. We present the clinical, radiographic and histologic features of primary breast lymphoma with a brief review of the literatures. 相似文献

Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma arise from B-lymphocytes. However, classical markers of the B-cell phenotype, such as CD20, are present only in about 25% of the cases. The aim of the present study was to assess expression of the B-cell-related antigens CD20, CD79a, and CD138 in classical Hodgkin lymphoma using a tissue microarray consisting of 330 classical Hodgkin lymphoma cases. Expression of CD15, CD20, CD30, CD79a, CD138, and latent membrane protein 1 of Epstein-Barr virus was assessed by immunohistochemistry, and the methodology was validated by direct comparison of CD20 expression on the tissue microarray cores with corresponding large sections. The influence of the number of arrayed sample cores on the obtained expression levels of CD20 was analyzed by comparing the results from single, duplicate, and triplicate cores. Two-hundred fifty-three (77%) of the 330 cases were morphologically representative. CD20 was expressed in 84 cases (33%), CD79a in 26 (10%), and CD138 in 2 (1%), respectively. CD20 and CD79a were co-expressed in 16 cases (P <.005), and expression of CD20 correlated inversely with CD15 (P <.01). Comparing the tissue microarray results with those from conventional sections for expression of CD20 yielded a concordance of 94% (63/67). Examining one, two, and three cores from individual cases revealed positivity for CD20 at 24% (61/253), 32% (82/253), and 33% (84/253), respectively. We conclude that B-cell markers are expressed in 38% of classical Hodgkin lymphoma in the following rank order: CD20>CD79a>CD138. The use of two cores per tissue sample renders the tissue microarray technology effectively representative and thus very useful for high-throughput evaluation of heterogeneously expressed markers in classical Hodgkin lymphoma. 相似文献

Primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the breast is a rare pathology, and bilateral involvement is exceptional. We report a case of bilateral primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the breast in a 40-year-old woman. Predominantly atypical lymphocytes and rare plasma cells were found in the microscopic evaluation of the fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the right and left breasts. Microscopic findings of the incisional biopsy of the left breast were in accordance with non-Hodgkin diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient received systemic chemotherapy and is alive with no evidence of recurrence for 2 years. 相似文献
