TIA-I is a 15-kd cytotoxic granule-associated protein expressed in natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. TIA-1 expression was evaluated by paraffin immunohistochemistry in 115 T- or NK-cell neoplasms, 45 B-cell neoplasms, and 45 Hodgkin''s lymphomas. TIA-1-positive granules were identified within the cytoplasm of neoplastic cells in 6/6 large granular lymphocytic leukemias, 11/11 hepatosplenic T-cell lymphomas, 15/15 intestinal T-cell lymphomas, 6/6 NK-like T-cell lymphomas of no special type, 2/2 NK-cell lymphomas, 8/9 nasal T/NK-cell lymphomas, 7/8 subcutaneous T-cell lymphomas, 4/5 pulmonary T- or NK-cell angiocentric lymphomas (lymphomatoid granulomatosis), 12/19 T-cell anaplastic large-cell lymphomas, 2/12 nodal peripheral T-cell lymphomas, 1/3 CD8+ cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, and 5/38 classical Hodgkin''s disease. All B-cell neoplasms, nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin''s disease (7 cases), CD4+ cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (6 cases), adult T-cell leukemia/lymphomas (3 cases), T-cell chronic or prolymphocytic leukemias (3 cases), and T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphomas (7-cases) were TIA-1 negative. These findings indicate that most large granular lymphocytic leukemias, hepatosplenic T-cell lymphomas, intestinal T-cell lymphomas, NK-like T-cell lymphomas, NK-cell lymphomas, nasal T/NK-cell lymphomas, subcutaneous T-cell lymphomas, pulmonary angiocentric lymphomas of T or NK phenotype, and anaplastic large-cell lymphomas are cytotoxic T-or NK-cell neoplasms. 相似文献

Aims: To investigate the clinicopathological features of six unusual cases of nodal CD56+ and Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)+ T/natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoma, a putative nodal counterpart of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma (nodal T/NK-cell lymphoma of nasal type) in comparison with nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma with secondary lymph node involvement ( n = 24) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) of cytotoxic molecule (CTM)+ and EBV+ type ( n = 21).
Methods and results: All cases of nodal T/NK-cell lymphoma of nasal type exhibited diffuse infiltration of pleomorphic medium-sized to large tumour cells, reminiscent of those in CTM+ EBV+ PTCL. The tumour cells had a typical phenotype of nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma: CD2+, CD3ε+, CD4−, CD5−, CD56+, T-cell intracellular antigen-1+, granzyme B+, perforin+ and EBV+. However, four of six cases demonstrated clonal T-cell receptor γ-gene rearrangement on polymerase chain reaction analysis, unlike nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma. Comparison of clinical parameters and overall survival among the three groups demonstrated only minor differences.
Conclusions: Nodal T/NK-cell lymphoma may occupy the grey zone between extranodal nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma and nodal CTM+ PTCL in a spectrum of NK to T-cell lymphomas that are EBV+. The close relationship between NK/T-cell lymphomas and cytotoxic T-cell lymphomas was also substantiated. 相似文献

Lymphomas with T-cell phenotype represent a heterogeneous group of diseases differing in histopathology, tumour site, and cell origin. They include peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) derived from αβ cells, but also some recently recognized entities such as γδ hepatosplenic lymphomas and natural killer (NK) cell lymphomas. Only a few studies have investigated the possibility that at least some PTCLs could be derived from lymphocytes with cytotoxic potential. In order to investigate this possibility, 60 cases of PTCL, including 27 cases expressing the αβ T-cell receptor (TCRαβ), 15 TCRγδ cases and 18 cases expressing neither TCR (TCR silent), as well as 14 cases of NK-cell lymphomas, were studied by immunohistochemistry for the expression of TIA-1, perforin, and granzyme B proteins. Expression of TIA-1 is characteristic of cytotoxic cells regardless of their activation status, whereas expression of perforin and granzymes is highly increased in activated cytotoxic cells and correlates with the induction of cytolytic activity. All NK-cell lymphomas (11 sinonasal, three systemic cases) expressed TIA-1, perforin, and granzyme B in most tumour cells. All γδ PTCLs (15 cases) expressed TIA-1 protein in most tumour cells, with a different cytotoxic antigen profile in hepatosplenic γδ PTCL (TIA-1+, perforin−, granzyme B−) and in non-hepatosplenic γδ PTCLs (three nasal, one skin, one lung), the latter expressing the three cytotoxic proteins. Of the 45 cases of αβ and TCR silent PTCL, 15 (33 per cent) were considered to be derived from cytotoxic lymphocytes with expression of at least one cytotoxic protein (TIA-1, 15/45; perforin, 10/41; granzyme B, 14/38) in tumour cells. This cytotoxic protein expression appeared to be related to the site of localization, since 7/13 (54 per cent) extranodal and only 8/32 (25 per cent) nodal αβ and TCR silent PTCLs expressed TIA-1, and to histology, since this pattern was observed in a proportion of anaplastic (6/8, 75 per cent) and pleomorphic (8/17, 47 per cent) lymphomas, but not in AILD-type NHL (0/16). Taken together, our data suggest that NK-cell lymphomas and non-hepatosplenic γδ PTCLs represent tumours of activated cytotoxic NK cells and γδ T cells, respectively; that hepatosplenic γδ PTCLs represent tumours of non-activated cytotoxic γδ T cells; and that a small proportion of αβ and TCR silent PTCLs, mostly extranodal cases, or nodal anaplastic lymphomas, represent tumours of cytotoxic T cells. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The present article describes three cases of Lennert's lymphoma exhibiting aggressive clinical courses. These cases were accompanied by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) or hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS). These cases were compared to non-aggressive type of Lennert's lymphoma. Of the three cases, two demonstrated involvement of the liver and the other possessed bone marrow involvement. In one patient, while a lymph node biopsy revealed Lennert's lymphoma histologically, a liver biopsy obtained 2 months later revealed a high-grade large cell cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma. Two of these cases showed HPS and the other exhibited DIC. All patients died within 1 year of diagnosis, with the shortest survival period being 1.5 months. Immunohistochemically, lymphoma cells were CD8+, CD4-, granzyme B+, and T-cell intracellular antigen-1 (TIA-1)+, showing a cytotoxic T-cell phenotype. Two cases demonstrated positive reactivity for Epstein-Barr virus in lymphoma cells by in situ hybridization. These cases were compared with eight cases of non-aggressive Lennert's lymphoma. In comparison to non-aggressive disease, these three cases displayed a higher percentage of Ki-67-positive cells. In conclusion it was found that a subset of Lennert's lymphoma cases share common features with high-grade cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma, indicating that Lennert's lymphoma may be part of the spectrum of cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma. 相似文献

Intestinal T-cell lymphoma (ITCL) represents a subgroup of peripheral T-cell lymphomas which is thought to arise from αβ intraepithelial T-lymphocytes. Since these lymphocytes may contain cytotoxic molecules, the question of whether this also holds true for ITCL arises. Twenty ITCL cases were examined for the presence of granzyme B, perforin, and T-cell-restricted intracellular antigen (TIA-1)/granule membrane protein of 17 kD (GMP-17). Two molecules with restricted expression in cytotoxic cells, granzyme B and perforin, were detected by immunocytochemistry and by in situ hybridization with an isotopically labelled RNA probe, respectively. Immunocytochemistry was also performed with the antibody 2G9, which recognizes two molecules, one expressed by cytotoxic cells (TIA-1) and the other found in granulocytes and cytotoxic cells (GMP-17). Granzyme B, TIA-1/GMP-17, and perforin were found in the neoplastic cells of 16/19 cases, 19/20 cases, and 16/17 cases, respectively, of ITCL, but not in the tumour cells of the control group, which consisted of intestinal B-cell lymphomas (five cases) and CD8-negative peripheral nodal T-cell lymphomas (six cases). At least one of these molecules was expressed in the tumour cells of all ITCL cases. 2G9 proved to be the most sensitive immunohistological marker, since reactivity with this antibody was not only observed in the highest number of cases, but also found in high numbers of neoplastic cells in positive cases. In conclusion, ITCL appears to show cytotoxic differentiation in all cases. In conjunction with immunophenotypic and genotypic data, our results support a uniform derivation of this tumour from intraepithelial αβ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate whether anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL) expressing cytotoxic proteins have a relatively worse clinical outcome compared with ALCL lacking a cytotoxic phenotype. METHODS: 59 primary cases of ALCL originating from different sites were investigated by immunohistochemistry for the presence of the cytotoxic proteins T cell intracytoplasmic antigen (TIA-1) and granzyme B in the neoplastic cells. Since site of origin and expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) strongly influence prognosis, the presence of a cytotoxic phenotype was also investigated in relation to the primary site of origin (lymph node, gut, or skin) and ALK expression. The prognostic value was investigated by analysis of overall and relapse-free survival time, including Cox regression analysis. RESULTS: 39 of 59 ALCL (66%) appeared to have a cytotoxic phenotype as shown by expression of TIA-1 or granzyme B or both in the neoplastic cells. The presence of a cytotoxic phenotype did not have any influence on prognosis. Even when the survival data were corrected for site of origin and stage at presentation or were analysed separately for ALK positive and negative cases, no prognostic influence of a cytotoxic phenotype was observed. CONCLUSIONS: In primary biopsies of patients with ALCL, the presence of a cytotoxic phenotype is not related to clinical outcome of the disease. 相似文献

In contrast to primary gastric lymphomas of B-cell type, little is known about primary gastric T-cell lymphomas. We describe
three cases with remarkably similar features: diffuse growth, epitheliotropism, medium too large cell size, high apoptotic
rates, and a CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD45RO+ immunophenotype. Clonal TCRγ gene rearrangement was shown in two cases. Epstein-Barr
virus infection was excluded in two cases. Taking advantage of fresh-frozen material, we analyzed two cases further, revealing
CD5–, CD16+, CD56–, CD57–, CD25+, CD30+, CD103 (αEβ7)+, bcl-2 protein+, CD95+, CD95 ligand(L)–. CD95L, however, was detected
in histiocytic and fibroblastoid by stander cells. The lymphomas expressed granzyme B, perforin, and the TIA-1 antigen in
various combinations. All three cases had a very unfavorable clinical course characterized by local recurrence and/or dissemination
to other epithelial sites, leading to death within 6–12 months after the initial diagnosis despite surgery and aggressive
antineoplastic treatment. These data suggest a novel variant of peripheral T-cell lymphoma operationally characterized as
primary gastric, apoptosis-rich, CD103+, EBV-, T-cell lymphoma co-expressing CD4, CD8, CD16 and cytotoxic molecules.

Due to their minority among the non-Hodgkin lymphomas, classification of extranodal T-cell lymphomas, including those of the natural killer (NK) cell type, has long been controversial and unclear, and the clinical outcome is not well clarified. Recently, new well-defined disease entities have been described based on tumor cell biology combined with anatomical site, clinical features, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) status, and cell lineage as determined by immunophenotype and genotype. Cytological features are usually not specific, and there are no morphologic correlates with the classification of extranodal T/NK-cell lymphomas. From a human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) endemic area in Japan, we report here the analysis of 144 cases of extranodal T-cell lymphoma, from which fresh tissues were available. As the clinicopathological features were known, we simply reclassified the cases according to cell lineage and anatomical site. The extranodal T-cell lymphomas were classified into three types on the basis of cell lineage: (1) natural killer cell (NK) type [sCD3-, CD56+, T-cell receptor gene (TCR) germline], (2) cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) type [sCD3+, TIA-1+, TCR rearranged, CD8+/-, CD4-/+], and (3) non-NK/CTL type [sCD3+, TIA-1-, TCR rearranged, CD4+/-, CD8-/+]. In addition to cell lineage, the anatomical site and clinical features were added for subclassification. NK type tumors (35 cases) included the lymphoblastic type, nasal/nasal-type NK lymphoma, and NK leukemia. The CTL type (46 cases) included anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), cutaneous type, intestinal, gamma delta T-cell type, and an unspecified type. The non-NK/CTL type (63 cases) included adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), mycosis fungoides (MF), and an unspecified type. With the exception of ATLL and MF, most extranodal T-cell lymphomas had a cytotoxic phenotype of NK type or CTL type and were often associated with EBV infection. MF and the unspecified type within the non-NK/CTL tumors, with the exception of ATLL, had a favorable prognosis. However, NK and CTL types, with the exception of ALCL, were associated with a poor prognosis. Our results indicate that anatomical site and cell lineage are useful predictors of clinical outcomes of extranodal T-cell lymphomas. 相似文献

Anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCLs) represent a heterogeneous group of malignant lymphoproliferative diseases. Most of the cases are of T-cell line with a loss of cell surface receptors but with a production of cytotoxic cytoplasmatic granules--immunohistochemically (IHC) positive perforin, granzyme B, and TIA-1. The diagnostics of ALCL is based on morphological findings and results of IHC, which further stratify ALCLs to basic immunophenotypes according to ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) protein expression--ALCL CD30+ ALK+ and ALCL CD30+ ALK+. The morphological investigations are supplemented by karyotyping and/or by a demonstration of breakpoint at 2p23 harboring ALK gene (FISH), and by molecular detection of chimeric genes characteristic of ALK+ lymphomas (NPM-ALK, ATIC-ALK, TPM3-ALK, TFG-ALK, and some even rarer rearrangements). Molecular diagnostics is important in monitoring minimal residual disease. As some of the characteristic molecular changes were demonstrated in healthy individuals and in Hodgkin's disease by quantitative PCR, the validation of these findings demands further studies. ALK protein positive ALCLs affect patients in age categories up to the third decade, whereas ALK protein negative cases occur in older patients with an average age of 60 years. Both subgroups of lymphomas are aggressive but ALK+ lymphomas react well to systemic treatment, and have a more favorable prognosis. Primary skin ALCLs belong to a group of T-cell lymphoproliferative diseases of the skin and have, in the majority of cases, a favorable course without generalization. 相似文献

Anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL) are a heterogeneous group of CD30+ large cell lymphomas; the most characteristic type have a T or null cell phenotype, often express epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and cytolytic lymphocyte markers, and often possess a nonrandom t(2;5)(p23;q35) chromosomal translocation. We studied 22 (19 T, 1 null, 2 B cell) ALCL, including four primary cutaneous ALCL (PC-ALCL), for the expression of TIA-1, the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) or natural killer (NK) cell-associated antigens CD4, CD8, betaF1, TCRdelta1, CD56, and CD57, the ALCL-associated antigens p80 and EMA, and the Hodgkin's disease-associated marker CD15 to better define the relationship of these markers to histological subtype, primary site, and patient clinical characteristics. TIA-1 expression was seen in 12 of 20 (60%) T or null cell ALCLs with a cytoplasmic, granular distribution. Ultrastructural studies showed cytotoxic-type granules (dense core, multivesicular, and intermediate types) with TIA-1 localized to granules on immunogold labeling. TIA-1 staining strongly correlated with young patient age (< or = 32 years, P < .05) and EMA expression (P < .05). Excluding the four PC-ALCL cases, TIA-1 staining also correlated with p80 expression (P < .05) in all of the T cell cases. Three CD15+ cases were TIA-1-. TIA-1 expression in T or null cell ALCL was seen in all morphological subtypes (2 of 2 small cell variant, 3 of 4 monomorphic variant, and 7 of 14 pleomorphic variant) and primary tumor sites (6 of 14 nodal, 2 of 4 primary cutaneous, 2 of 2 bone, and 2 of 2 soft tissue). TIA-1+ granules were seen in all subsets: 5 of 6 CD4+, 1 of 2 CD8+, 4 of 8 CD56+, and 1 of 2 CD57+ ALCL. Of note, 4 of 10 T or null cell ALCL expressed gammadelta T-cell receptors (TCR), whereas only 1 of 10 T or null cell ALCL was alphabeta TCR+; TCR were not detected in five cases. TIA-1 was expressed by 3 of 4 gammadelta TCR+ ALCL and 1 of 1 alphabeta TCR+ ALCL. These data support a cytotoxic lymphocyte phenotype in most T or null cell ALCL and suggest that some T cell ALCL are derived from cytolytic CD4+ T cells, gammadelta T cells, or NK-like (CD56+ or CD57+) T cells. 相似文献

Nasal NK/T cell lymphoma presenting as transverse myelopathy 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A case of nasal NK/T cell lymphoma with central nervous system (CNS) involvement is reported. A 56-year-old man presented
with eyelid edema and transverse myelopathy. Cerebrospinal fluid examination revealed atypical lymphoid cells with azurophilic
granules, which were positive for CD2, CD8, and CD56, and negative for CD3 and CD5 by flow cytometry. Because a tumor mass
was found involving the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses, CNS involvement was considered to have resulted from local invasion
by the nasal lymphoma. In spite of intensive chemotherapy including intrathecal infusion, the patient died 6 months after
the initial diagnosis. Autopsy revealed that lymphoma cells were positive for cytotoxic molecules, granzyme B and TIA-1, and
EB virus-encoded RNA-1 (EBER-1), and they showed no rearrangement of TCR-β, -γ, or -δ genes, suggesting an NK-cell origin
of the lymphoma cells. They showed an angiocentric and angiodestructive pattern in the subarachnoid space, focally extending
to the cerebral cortex and cranial and spinal nerve roots. Marked demyelination was found in the lateral and posterior funiculi
of the spinal cord. Thus, the pathogenesis of this spinal demyelination might be attributed to ischemia secondary to angiocentric
and angiodestructive infiltration by lymphoma cells.

Lymphomatous features of aggressive NK cell leukaemia/lymphoma with massive necrosis, haemophagocytosis and EB virus infection 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

AIMS : Aggressive natural killer (NK) cell leukaemia will be categorized as a distinct entity in the new WHO classification of malignant lymphomas. However, its non-leukaemic features remain unclear. We therefore investigated the morphological and immunophenotypic features of this lymphoma. METHODS AND RESULTS : Four cases with aggressive NK cell lymphoma were morphologically and immunohistochemically studied. All cases followed an aggressive course with death occurring within about 3 months of initial presentation. In these cases, the neoplastic cells disseminated throughout systemic lymph nodes and invaded various tissues and organs. The lymphoma cells were large cells showing nuclear irregularity and a pattern of sinusoidal invasion in lymph nodes. Apoptosis and coagulation necrosis were both frequently observed. Haemophagocytosis was observed in all cases. Neoplastic cells in paraffin-embedded tissue specimens from these patients had CD3(CD3epsilon)+ CD56(123C3)+ granzyme+ TIA-1+ EBERT+ CD43(MT1)- CD45RO(UCHL-1)- CD57(Leu7)- CD20(L26)- phenotypes. In the two cases where tissue was available for immunohistochemical study in frozen sections, neoplastic cells showed CD56(Leu19)+ perforin+ Fas ligand(FasL)+ CD2(Leu5b)- CD3(Leu4)- CD4(Leu3)- CD5(Leu1)- CD7(Leu9)- CD8(Leu2)- betaF1- TCRdelta1- phenotypes. CD16(Leu11b) was positive in one case. CONCLUSIONS: : Natural killer cell lymphomas appear to represent a non-leukaemic counterpart of aggressive natural killer cell leukaemia, a relationship similar to that in adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma. Awareness and diagnosis of this aggressive lymphoma is important because of its fulminant course. 相似文献

Most primary gastric lymphomas are of B-cell origin. Fourteen cases of primary gastric non-B, non-Hodgkin lymphomas were studied to evaluate their clinicopathological and immunophenotypic findings. The cases were comprised of 11 men and three women, with a median age of 56.5 years. Most patients underwent surgery either with or without chemotherapy, exhibiting a 5 year survival rate of 57.5%. Morphologically, the neoplastic cells showed various histological features, such as anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) (n = 3), peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified, large (n = 4), medium-sized (n = 2) and mixed cell (n = 5). Two cases displayed a non-B, non-T cell phenotype, whereas the remaining cases displayed a T-cell phenotype. Six cases were CD4+, while two were CD8+. The neoplastic cells were CD30+ in 10 cases. TIA-1 was positive in six cases. In one case, anaplastic large cell lymphoma kinase (ALK) was identified with immunostaining and chromosomal rearrangement of ALK was detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). In conclusion, although the mechanism of CD30 expression is unknown, primary gastric non-B, non-Hodgkin lymphomas tend to express CD30. We consider that some of the cases in the present study may be derived from cytotoxic T cells, similar to systemic and cutaneous ALCL, the majority of which exhibit TIA-1. 相似文献

The majority of primary testicular lymphomas are of B-cell type. Other primary lymphomas are rarely encountered in the testes. Natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphomas of nasal type are aggressive extranodal lymphomas associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection that are usually encountered in the upper aerodigestive tract. They also occur in the skin, soft tissue, and colon. Primary testicular NK/T-cell lymphomas are rarely reported. We describe the case of a 66-year-old Korean man who presented with right-sided painless testicular enlargement and underwent radical orchiectomy. Histologic examination revealed an angiocentric and angioinvasive infiltrate of medium to large tumor cells with moderately abundant pale pink cytoplasm and folded and indented pleomorphic nuclei. Paraffin immunohistochemical studies showed positivity of the tumor cells for CD45, TIA-1, granzyme B, CD56, and CD3 epsilon. In situ hybridization showed diffuse positivity for Epstein-Barr virus-encoding RNA. The results of gene rearrangement studies for the gamma chain of the T-cell receptor were negative. The results of paraffin immunohistochemical studies for CD20, CD8, CD45RO, beta f1, and ALK-1 were negative. An extensive workup showed no evidence of lymphoma outside the testes. We report a rare case of primary testicular NK/T-cell lymphoma of the nasal type of true NK-cell origin. 相似文献

The present study reports five CD8+, CD56+ (natural killer (NK)-like) T-cell lymphomas involving the small intestine without evidence of enteropathy, from Japan. Three were intestinal T-cell lymphoma. The site of origin of the other two was not definitive. Four of five patients underwent emergency operation because of intestinal perforation. The small intestines of these patients had multiple ulcerative lesions with or without demarcated tumors. Histologically, the lymphoma cells were monomorphic or slightly pleomorphic and displayed epitheliotropism of varying degrees. Lymphoma cells of all patients shared the common phenotype: CD3+, CD4-, CD5-, CD8+, CD56+, CD57-, T-cell intracellular antigen-1+, granzyme B+. In contrast to nasal/nasal type NK-cell lymphomas, they had clonal rearrangement of T-cell receptor(TCR) genes and were negative for EBV-encoded RNA. Immunohistochemistry and genetics suggested that three cases were of alpha beta T-cell origin and two cases were of gamma delta T-cell origin. There was no evidence of enteropathy in any patient. The cases followed a clinically aggressive course with a frequent involvement of lung. According to the classification based on the recent genetic studies of European enteropathy-type intestinal T-cell lymphoma (ETL), the present cases could be classified as type 2 ETL. 相似文献

To characterize genetic alterations in peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL NOS), and anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma (ALCL), 42 PTCL NOS and 37 ALCL [17 anaplastic large cell kinase (ALK)-negative ALCL, 9 ALK-positive ALCL, 11 cutaneous ALCL] were analyzed by comparative genomic hybridization. Among 36 de novo PTCL NOS, recurrent chromosomal losses were found on chromosomes 13q (minimally overlapping region 13q21, 36% of cases), 6q and 9p (6q21 and 9p21-pter, in 31% of cases each), 10q and 12q (10q23-24 and 12q21-q22, in 28% of cases each), and 5q (5q21, 25% of cases). Recurrent gains were found on chromosome 7q22-qter (31% of cases). In 11 PTCL NOS, high-level amplifications were observed, among them 3 cases with amplification of 12p13 that was restricted to cytotoxic PTCL NOS. Whereas cutaneous ALCL and ALK-positive ALCL showed few recurrent chromosomal imbalances, ALK-negative ALCL displayed recurrent chromosomal gains of 1q (1q41-qter, 46%), and losses of 6q (6q21, 31%) and 13q (13q21-q22, 23%). Losses of chromosomes 5q, 10q, and 12q characterized a group of noncytotoxic nodal CD5+ peripheral T-cell lymphomas. The genetics of PTCL NOS and ALK-negative ALCL differ from other T-NHLs characterized genetically so far, among them enteropathy-type T-cell lymphoma, T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia, and adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia. 相似文献

Aims:
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATCL) is a rare complication of coeliac disease. We investigated whether EATCLs are the neoplastic counterparts of activated cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs).
Methods and results:
Eight cases, clinically and histologically defined, were stained with monoclonal antibodies against components of the cytotoxic granules of CTLs, granzyme B and T-cell restricted intracellular antigen (TIA-1). It was found that all cases had a cytotoxic phenotype, i.e. expression of TIA-1 in most of the tumour cells, whereas granzyme B was found in six of eight cases, mostly in a smaller number of tumour cells compared to TIA-1. Since TIA-1 and granzyme B are expressed at different stages of activation of CTLs it is hypothesized that differences in expression between granzyme B and TIA-1 in EATCL represent different stages of activation in which the tumour cells are arrested. Clinically, seven of the eight patients died within 10 months after diagnosis of EATCL.
Conclusions:
EATCL is a clinicopathological entity with a grim prognosis and with tumour cells representing a unique neoplastic equivalent of CTLs arrested in varying stages of activation. 相似文献

AIMS: To analyse the clinicopathological findings of extranasal CD56+ cytotoxic T- or NK-cell lymphomas in different organs and to compare Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)+ and EBV- lymphoma of non-blastoid cytomorphology. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fifty-one cases of cCD3+ T-cell intracellular antigen (TIA-1)+ CD56+ lymphomas of extranodal/extranasal origin were included in the study. The primary sites of the CD56+ tumours were soft tissue (n = 10), the gastrointestinal (GI) tract (n = 13), the skin (n = 15), upper aerodigestive tract excluding nasal and nasopharyngeal regions (n = 11), the testis (n = 1), and parotid gland (n = 1). TCR gene rearrangement was detected in seven of 47 cases examined (16%). EBV was positive in 39 of 51 cases (76%). The positive rate of EBV was higher in tumours of soft tissue (80%), GI tract (92%), and skin (80%), and lowest in the upper aerodigestive tract excluding the nasal and nasopharyngeal region (50%). Tumours of the soft tissue and the upper aerodigestive tract tended to present with localized disease (P = 0.002). The 2-year survival rate was lowest for tumours of the GI tract (P = 0.0256). EBV- TCR- lymphoma showed less necrosis (P = 0.0133) and a better 2-year survival rate (P = 0.0066) than EBV+ TCR- lymphoma. Patients with EBV+ TCR+ lymphomas tended to present with localized disease, more often than EBV+ TCR- lymphoma (P = 0.0186). Significant prognostic factors in all CD56+ lymphomas were the site (P = 0.0256), EBV status (P = 0.0026), necrosis with or without perforation (P = 0.0338) and the presence of pleomorphic large tumour cells (P = 0.0428). Cox's regression analysis adjusting for other pathological parameters showed EBV status to be the only independent prognostic factor (P = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS: Extranodal CD56+ EBV- lymphoma at extranasal sites is a clinically less aggressive malignancy and displays less necrosis than CD56+ EBV+ lymphoma. Because CD56+ EBV+ TCR+ lymphomas show similar pathological and clinical findings to CD56+ EBV+ TCR- lymphomas, nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphomas at extranasal sites should be diagnosed as such on the basis of EBV+, cytotoxic T or NK phenotype irrespective of the genotype determined by molecular study. 相似文献

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) can involve the gynecologic tract, most often as a manifestation of systemic involvement, and most cases reported have been of B-cell lineage. We describe 2 women with natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoma involving the gynecologic tract that initially presented with vaginal bleeding. In case 1, the patient had a stage IE nasal-type NK-cell lymphoma involving the cervix. The tumor was composed of medium-sized, irregular lymphoid cells with angioinvasion and necrosis. In case 2, the patient had a stage IV blastoid NK-cell lymphoma/leukemia infiltrating all organs in a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy specimen. Subsequent biopsy specimens revealed that the bone marrow and lymph nodes were also involved. The neoplasm was composed of small to medium lymphoid cells with fine nuclear chromatin. Case 1 was assessed immunohistochemically and the neoplastic cells were positive for CD3, CD56, and TIA-1. Case 2 was analyzed using both immunohistochemical and flow cytometry methods. The neoplastic cells were positive for cytoplasmic CD3, CD4, CD7, CD43, CD45, and CD56 and were negative for surface CD3. Both cases were negative for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) ribonucleic acid (RNA) and molecular studies showed no evidence of T-cell receptor gamma chain gene rearrangements. The immunophenotype and absence of T-cell receptor gene rearrangements support NK-cell origin. We report these cases to illustrate that NK-cell lymphomas can involve, and rarely arise in, the gynecologic tract. 相似文献

A case of primary gastric T-cell lymphoma, which was positive for granzyme B, is reported. The patient was a 47-year-old Japanese female who complained of a dull upper abdominal pain. Radiographic and endoscopic examinations revealed an ulcerative infiltrative lesion in her stomach. Following the confirmation of a high-grade malignant lymphoma, a distal gastrectomy with regional lymph nodal dissection was performed. The histology of the gastric lesion revealed a malignant lymphoma of the diffuse pleomorphic type without lymph nodal involvement. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the tumor cells were positive for LCA, CD3, TIA-1 and granzyme B, but were negative for CD4, CD8, CD56, CD30, L-26, EMA, TCR alpha/beta and TCR gamma/delta. Because the tumor cells showed T cell nature with cytotoxic activity proved by TIA-1 and granzyme B, and without evidence of further maturation of T cell, a malignant lymphoma originating from extrathymic-derived T cells was suggested. 相似文献
