Abstract The SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) data for the years 1975–1998 show that children with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) have a better treatment outcome than do adults. Many factors may contribute to this age-related difference. Some factors are related to the patient (e.g., drug distribution and clearance, performance status, compliance, sex) whereas others pertain to tumor histology and biology. The spectrum of NHL subtypes is well known to differ in children and adults. From ages 5 through 14 years, Burkitt lymphoma is the predominant histologic subtype, whereas diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is most common in the 15- to 29-year age range. Because different treatment strategies are often used in children and adults with NHL, the choice of therapy for adolescents and young adults (ages 15 through 29 years) is challenging and somewhat controversial. It is reasonable to consider pediatric strategies for some adolescents and very young adults with NHL, and pediatric strategies are currently used to treat adults with certain subtypes of NHL (Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma). However, the use of pediatric strategies in adults does not guarantee a comparable outcome, as illustrated by trials for adult lymphoblastic lymphoma. There is clearly a need for further biologic study of NHL in children, adolescents, and young adults. Age-related differences in tumor biology have been demonstrated in anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Additional biologic data will not only improve prognosis and treatment stratification but, more important, will lead to the identification of specific molecular targets for therapy.

Abstract Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a clinically and molecularly heterogeneous disease. We can identify two subgroups with aggressive clinical course and higher risk of treatment failure after standard therapy: B cell lymphoma unclassifiable (BCLU) with features intermediate between DLBCL and Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and B-cell lymphomas with double/triple translocation (DHL/THL). Previous reports suggest that these types of lymphomas may show a common immunophenotype, providing another tool in the challenge of their diagnosis. Objetives: To analyze the immnunophenotype (IF) of BCLU and DH/TH lymphomas by multiparametric flow cytometry and compare it with the IF of a series of cases with DLBCL and BL. Methods: we analyzed the inmunophenotype (four-color flow cytometry on a FACSCalibur flow cytometer) and cytogenetic studies (FISH to detect MYC, BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangement) of cases diagnosed of BCLU and DH/TH lymphomas. Control cases of DLBCL and BL were consecutively collected from our database. Fisher`s Exact test was used to compare proportions between two groups. P-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: We analyzed 23 controls (14 DLBCL and 9 BL) and 17 cases: 9 DHL (8 BCL2/MYC+ and 1 BCL6/MYC+), 3 THL (BCL2/BCL6/MYC+) and 5 BCLU (1 IGH-MYC+, 3 MYC+ and 1 unknown). Six of the 17 cases (35.3%) had decreased expression of CD19 while this was exceptional in DLBCL (1/10 P=0.073) and BL (0/9 P=0.054). All of the cases were positive for CD20 but with different intensities: only 5.9% expressed high CD20 compared to 42.9% of DLBCL (p=0.021) and 55.6% of BL (P=0.010). Most of the cases (12/17) had intermediate expression of CD20 and only 4/17 had weak expression. CD10 expression was typical in BL (100%) and frequent in the cases (82.4%), while it was only present in 20% of DLBCL (P<0.0001). CD38 expression was high in 100% of BL, 6.3% of the cases and none of DLBCL. It was intermediate in 64.7% of the cases and in 35.7% of DLBCL (P=0.015). BCL2 overexpression was detected in 57.1% of the cases; neither DLBCL nor BL (P= 0.009) had BCL2 overexpression. Conclusions: We identify a common immunophenotype in DH/TH lymphomas and BCLU: decreased expression of CD19 and CD20, CD10 expression, overexpression of BCL2 and intermediate expression of CD38. This immuphenotype may be useful for identifying cases for confirmatory cytogenetic studies. Larger studies are needed to validate these results.
