Non-Hodgins’s lymphoma (NHL) is the most common hematological malignancy worldwide, accounting for nearly 3% of cancer diagnoses and deaths. NHL is the seventh most prevalent cancer and has the sixth highest mortality among cancers in the US. NHL accounts for 4% of US cancer diagnoses, and incidence has increased 168% since 1975 (while survival has improved 158%). NHL is more common among men, those >65 years old, and those with autoimmune disease or a family history of hematological malignancies. NHL is a heterogenous disease, with each subtype associated with different risk factors. Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is strongly associated with Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, while peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) is most associated with celiac disease. Occupational exposures among farm workers or painters increases the risk of most of the common subtypes. Prior radiation treatment, obesity, and smoking are most highly associated with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), while breast implants have been rarely associated with anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Infection with Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) is strongly associated with endemic Burkitts lymphoma. HIV and human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8), is predisposed to several subtypes of DLBCL, and human T-cell lymphoma virus (HTLV-1) is a causative agent of T-cell lymphomas. Obesity and vitamin D deficiency worsen NHL survival. Atopic diseases and alcohol consumption seem to be protective against NHL.

BackgroundSeveral morphologic patterns of ALK+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) are recognized: common, small cell, lymphohistiocytic, Hodgkin-like, and composite patterns.1 Small cell (SC) and lymphohistiocytic (LH) patterns are thought to be closely associated with poorer outcome in children with ALK+ ALCL.2 However, the clinicopathologic and prognostic features of SC/LH patterns of ALK+ ALCL are not yet reported in adults. Recently, we found PD-L1 expression in a large subset of ALK+ ALCL cases, however, PD-L1 expression in SC/LH versus non-SC/LH ALCL has not been reported.MethodsAmong 102 adult patients with ALK+ ALCL seen at our institution from January 1, 2007 through August 30, 2018, 18 (18%) cases had a SC and/or LH pattern. The clinical, pathologic, and outcome data were compared between SC/LH and non-SC/LH ALK+ ALCL cases using Fisher’s exact test. Overall survival (OS) was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test.ResultsThere were no significant differences in clinical features including age, gender, nodal versus extranodal involvement, B symptoms, stage, leukocytosis/lymphocytosis, and serum LDH levels between patients with SC/LH versus non-SC/LH ALK+ ALCL. Compared to non-SC/LH cases, SC/LH ALCL was more often positive for CD2 (92% vs. 36%, p = 0.0007), CD3 (81% vs. 15%, p = 0.0001), CD7 (80% vs. 37%, p = 0.03), and CD8 (54% vs. 7%, p = 0.0006). SC/LH ALCL showed a trend of decreased PD-L1 expression than non-SC/LH cases (24% vs. 46%, p = 0.11). There were no significant differences in the expression of CD4, CD5, CD25, CD43, CD45, CD56, TCR A/B, TCR G/D, cytotoxic markers, EMA, Ki-67 proliferation index. The induction chemotherapy and response rate in patients with SC/LH ALK+ ALCL were similar to patients with non-SC/LH ALK+ ALCL. After a median follow-up of 30.5 months (range, 0.3–224 months), there was no significant difference in OS between patients with SC/LH versus non-SC/LH ALK+ ALCL (p = 0.88).ConclusionsIn adults with ALK+ALCL, the SC/LH morphologic pattern is associated with a CD8+ T cell immunophenotype and retention of expression of T cell markers (CD2, CD3, and CD7). The trend of decreased PD-L1 expression in SC/LH ALCL suggests that these patients may not be ideal candidates for PD-L1 immunotherapy. The SC/LH patterns of ALK+ ALCL have no impact on the prognosis of adult patients which is in contrast to the reported association of the SC/LH patterns with poorer outcome in children with ALK+ ALCL.Ethics ApprovalThe study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at MD Anderson Cancer Center, Approval number: PA16-0897ReferencesSwerdlow SH, Campo E, The 2016 revision of the World Health Organization classification of lymphoid neoplasms.

Abstract In the present study the clinicopathologic and immunophenotypic features of 82 patients with a CD30– peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified, presenting in the skin were evaluated. The purpose of this study was to find out whether subdivision of these lymphomas on the basis of cell size, phenotype, or presentation with only skin lesions is clinically relevant. The study group included 46 primary cutaneous CD30– large cell lymphomas and 17 small/medium-sized T-cell lymphomas as well as 17 peripheral T-cell lymphomas with both skin and extracutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis. Patients with primary cutaneous small- or medium-sized T-cell lymphomas had a significantly better prognosis (5-year-overall survival, 45%) than patients with primary cutaneous CD30– large T-cell lymphomas (12%) and patients presenting with concurrent extracutaneous disease (12%). The favorable prognosis in this group with primary cutaneous small- or medium-sized T-cell lymphomas was particularly found in patients presenting with localized skin lesions expressing a CD3+CD4+CD8– phenotype. In the primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) group and in the concurrent group, neither extent of skin lesions nor phenotype had any effect on survival. Our results indicate that peripheral T-cell lymphomas, unspecified, presenting in the skin have an unfavorable prognosis, irrespective of the presence or absence of extracutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis, cell size, and expression of a CD4+ or CD8+ phenotype. The only exception was a group of primary cutaneous small- or medium-sized pleomorphic CTCLs with a CD3+CD4+CD8– phenotype and presenting with localized skin lesions.

We present the clinicopathologic findings in 4 children with primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (C-ALCL). The patients ranged in age from 13 months to 8 years, with 3 females and 1 male. All presented with a rapidly enlarging mass involving the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Histologic evaluation showed sheets of large pleomorphic lymphoid cells that were diffusely and strongly CD30+. Tumor cells were CD45+ in 1 of 4 cases. Cells were of T-cell phenotype, with variable positivity for CD3 (3 of 4 cases) and CD5 (2 of 4 cases). All 4 cases were positive for CD4 and clusterin. Staining for anaplastic lymphoma kinase was negative in all cases. No evidence of systemic involvement was noted at initial presentation or over a follow-up of 5 to 78 months, although 3 patients had cutaneous recurrences. Primary C-ALCL has only rarely been described in the pediatric population. The high-grade histologic appearance of this lymphoma belies its generally favorable clinical course and prognosis. Recognition of this entity and its differentiation from other T-cell lymphomas that secondarily involve the skin is important to avoid unnecessarily aggressive therapy in these children.

AbstractThe mature T/natural killer (NK) lymphoma/leukemias represent 5–15% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma. These diseases have a geographic variation, with more nodal disease in North America and Europe, including peripheral T cell lymphomas, unspecified, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma; and more extranodal disease in Asia due to Epstein-Barr virus–related nasal NK/T lymphoma and human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV)-1–associated adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma. The prognosis in most peripheral T/NK neoplasms is poor, with 5-year survival less than 30%. Progress has been slow due to the rarity of the diseases, geographic variation, relative chemoresistance, and lack of randomized trials. There is no consensus about optimal therapy in T/NK neoplasms, and recommendations are based on anecdotal reports, small series, and phase II trials. In this review, topics include the question of CHOP as standard therapy, prognostic factors, disease-adapted therapy, novel approaches, monoclonal antibody therapy, and stem cell transplantation.

PURPOSE: Primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) encompass a wide variety of lymphomas that are characterized by the localization of the malignant lymphocytes to the skin at presentation. Advances in molecular biologic techniques, including immunophenotyping and gene rearrangement studies to determine clonality, have led to more frequent diagnosis of CTCL as well as more consistent subclassification of these entities. However, there continues to be confusion in the classification, prognosis, and management of patients with CTCL. The purpose of this review is to present a summary of the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of CTCL, with specific emphasis on mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS). We also present a detailed discussion of the entities that make up the differential diagnosis of CTCL. DESIGN: We reviewed the medical literature on CTCL and other diseases that make up the differential diagnosis of CTCL. Results and CONCLUSION: MF and SS are the most common forms of CTCL. The etiology of this disease is still unknown. Patients may go for months to years with skin abnormalities before being diagnosed. MF/SS is an indolent disease and patients with T1 disease have a normal life expectancy. Patients who undergo transformation to large-cell lymphoma (8% to 23% of patients) have a poor prognosis, with mean survival ranging from 2 to 19 months. Treatment for MF/SS continues to be palliative. There are many new therapies that are currently being investigated in clinical trials, and the DAB389IL-2 fusion protein was recently approved for the treatment of refractory MF/SS.

Abstract Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) represents approximately 2% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas according to the recent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Classification Project. As defined in the revised European-American classification of lymphoid neoplasms (REAL), ALCL is a neoplasm of T-cell or null-cell lineage; 20% to 60% of cases are associated with the t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation. ALCL commonly involves nodal as well as a wide variety of extranodal sites, although primary or secondary involvement of bone is rare. We describe the case of a 71-year-old man with stage IE T-cell ALCL, monomorphic variant, arising in the left anterior fifth rib and involving adjacent soft tissue without other sites of disease. The monomorphic histologic features hindered the initial recognition of this neoplasm as ALCL. However, strong uniform CD30 antigen expression and subsequent demonstration of the t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) immunoreactivity led to the correct diagnosis. We identified only 5 reported cases of T-cell and null-cell ALCL arising in bone and only 2 of these cases involved a single bone site. All 5 previously reported cases were ALCL of the classic type. We report a case of ALCL that is unique to our knowledge. This case of monomorphic ALCL was localized to bone and tumor cells contained the t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation.

Abstract Primary dural lymphoma is rare, and few of the small number of cases reported to date have been classified using immunohistochemical techniques. To our knowledge, we report the first case of T-cell–rich B-cell lymphoma (diffuse mixed small cell and large cell) presenting as a solitary intracranial dural mass. Cytologic and frozen sections prepared during intraoperative consultation revealed a polymorphic population of lymphocytes suspicious for an inflammatory process. Permanent sections of the dura showed a diffusely infiltrating mass composed of mature lymphocytes peppered with large atypical lymphocytes. Immunohistochemical stains identified the small lymphocytes as T cells (CD3 and CD43) and the large atypical lymphocytes as B cells (CD20). Evidence of rearranged immunoglobulin heavy-chain genes demonstrated B-cell monoclonality. Differentiating between inflammatory and neoplastic lymphocytic masses of the dura obviously has important therapeutic and prognostic significance and may require immunohistochemical and molecular techniques.
