Lymphocytic Proliferation

EBV associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and EBV-positive T cell lymphoproliferative disease of childhood share many histologic and clinical features, which sometimes makes it very difficult to render a definitive diagnosis. In this report, we present a 16-year-old male who developed symptoms clinically consistent with EBV associated hematophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis including fulfilling most of HLH diagnostic criteria and responding promptly to HLH targeted therapy. However, histologic and cytogenetics features of this case are very concerning for EBV-positive T cell lymphoproliferative disease of childhood. This case demonstrates an ambiguous boundary of these two disease entities and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive evaluation and clinical correlation with cases suspicious of EBV driven hemophagocytic or lymphoproliferative process.

Lymphocytic Proliferation

Flow cytometry is helpful in differentiating between B-cell lymphoma (BCL) and reactive lymphocytic proliferation (RLP) in FNA biopsies. However; the presence of inconclusive surface immunoglobulin light chains (sIg LC) poses a problem. We investigated the usefulness of additional tests; namely Bcl-2 expression and expression of cytoplasmic Ig LC (cIg LC), mainly on samples with inconclusive sIg LC. Both tests were performed on 232 FNA samples from lymph nodes. Bcl-2 alone was determined qualitatively and quantitatively on 315 samples. The quantitative test was correctly positive in 76% of cases and falsely negative in 24%. The correctly positive results of the qualitative test were 11% points lower. cIg LC correctly identified 65% of BCL with dual positive sIg LC; 36% of BCL with difficult to interpret sIg LC and only 7% of BCL with negative sIg LC. The best results in differentiating between BCL and RLP were obtained when all three tests were used together. In samples with inconclusive sIg LC and additional monoclonal or polyclonal populations the κ:λ ratios did not differentiate between RLP and BCL. We propose that in case of inconclusive sIg LC Bcl-2 test is used first. The addition of cIg LC test is sensible only in cases with dual positive and difficult to interpret sIg LC.
