Anaplastic large cell lymphoma in a human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient with cytologic findings in bladder wash: a case report

BACKGROUND: Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) (Ki-1/CD-30 positive) is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder that may be of T cell or null cell type. ALCL has been reported in fine needle aspirations of lymph nodes and pleural or peritoneal fluid cytology. In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients, ALCL appears to be more common and run a more aggressive course. CASE: A 39-year-old black man, seropositive for HIV, presented with acute renal failure secondary to bilateral ureteral obstruction by a pelvic mass involving the urinary bladder. Bladder wash cytology and subsequent biopsy of the mass were diagnostic of ALCL. The ALCL was CD30+ and null cell type, with negative CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD20, CD45, CD79a, ALK-1, granzyme B, cytokeratin (AE1/AE3), placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) and S-100. The patient expired 9 months after the diagnosis, despite aggressive therapy. CONCLUSION: This is a rare occurrence of ALCL (CD 30 positive, null cell type) in the urinary bladder in an HIV+ patient. Presumptive diagnosis was made by bladder wash cytology and subsequently confirmed by biopsy. Urinary cytologic examination is a useful diagnostic tool. In HIV+/immunosuppressed patients with urinary symptoms and an obstructive mass, ALCL should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Angiocentric T-cell lymphoma

SUMMARY: The CD20+ variant of angiocentric T-cell lymphoma is an unusual type of T-cell lymphomas that present cystic changes in organs because of ischaemic necroses. The purpose of this study was to describe a case of CD20+angiocentric T-cell lymphoma, discussing its clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features, to analyze its proliferation kinetics and to consider its possible relationship to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) to understand better the pathobiological nature of the disease. METHODS: The clinical, histopathological, immunohistochemical and single-cell DNA cytophotometric features of the case were analyzed. In addition in situ hybridization was performed to detect EBV. RESULTS: The 24 years old woman was admitted to our Institute because of pain in the abdominal region and weight loss. There were enlarged lymph nodes on the neck, and biopsy was done. Histological diagnosis: angiocentric T-cell lymphoma, CD20+ variant. CD3, CD43, CD45RA and CD45R0 antigens were positive in the atypic lymphoid cells of the tumour and in cells infiltrating the vascular wall. DNA index was 0.8589 (hypodiploid). Tumour cells in G1 phase: 47%, S phase: 45.4%, G2 phase: 7.6%. Combined chemotherapy was administered because of clinical stadium IV/B of malignant lymphoma (5 CHOP-Bleo, CEPP, CEP, CMVE treatment). The disease showed gradual progression and the patient died 14 months after the first symptoms had appeared. CONCLUSIONS: In the last 13 years there were 5 cases of angiocentric T-cell lymphoma at our Institute. The CD20+ variant is rare, its clinical symptoms are special, the prognosis is unfavourable. The cause why we demonstrate this case is to call attention to a new treatment for these patients by immunotherapy using monoclonal antibodies against CD20 antigen.     

Primary gastric T cell lymphoma mimicking marginal zone B cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue

Primary gastric T cell lymphoma is rare and mostly of large cell type. In this paper, we present a case of gastric T cell lymphoma morphologically similar to the gastric marginal zone B cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Morphologically, the cells are small with abundant clear cytoplasm. Lymphoepithelial lesions are readily identified with diffuse destruction of gastric glands. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells are CD3+/CD4+/CD8−/Granzyme B−. Molecular studies revealed monoclonal T cell receptor γ gene rearrangement. Clinically, the patient responded initially to four cycles of R-CHOP, but then progressed. Because peripheral T cell lymphoma is usually associated with a poor prognosis, whereas marginal zone B cell lymphoma is an indolent lymphoproliferative disorder, this morphologic mimicry should be recognized and completely investigated when atypical small lymphoid infiltrates with lymphoepithelial lesions are encountered in the stomach.     

Cytotoxic peripheral T cell lymphoma arising in a patient with nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma: a case report

In this paper, we describe a case of nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma with the subsequent development of a peripheral T cell lymphoma. This case is unusual in that the sheets of atypical and small to intermediate-sized T cells in the diffuse component were CD8 positive and expressed cytotoxic proteins. The diagnosis of peripheral T cell lymphoma was supported by the demonstration of a clonal T cell receptor beta chain gene rearrangement by Southern blot analysis. Peripheral T cell lymphoma with a cytotoxic phenotype is a rare entity with an aggressive clinical behavior. As such, this report emphasizes the need to consider a diagnosis of coexisting peripheral T cell lymphoma in cases of nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma with atypical features, such as few or poorly defined B cell macronodules and diffuse T cell areas. The examination of both T cell receptor gamma and beta chain gene rearrangements should be performed to confirm such cases.

Serous effusion cytology of extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma

X.‐Y. Su, J. Huang, Y. Jiang, Y. Tang, G.‐D. Li and W.‐P. Liu Serous effusion cytology of extranodal natural killer/T‐cell lymphoma Objective: Extranodal natural killer/T‐cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL‐N), is a rare form of lymphoma that typically occurs at extranodal sites. It is one of the most common extranodal lymphomas in China. Literature on effusions and cytological findings relating to ENKTCL‐N is limited. We studied five consecutive cases of ENKTCL‐N effusions collected over a 3‐year period. The cytomorphological, immunocytochemical and molecular biological features were evaluated with literature review. The purpose of this study is to discuss how to diagnose ENKTCL‐N cytologically in effusions. Methods: Smears and cell block sections were reviewed for each case. Immunocytochemistry was performed on 4‐μm paraffin sections. Antibodies used were as follows: cCD3 (intracytoplasmic CD3), CD45RO, surface CD3, CD20, CD79a, CD56, TIA‐1, granzyme B, CD30, CD99, TdT and Ki‐67. In situ hybridization for EBER1/2 (EBER‐ISH) and T‐cell receptor γ (TCRγ) gene rearrangement were performed for all cases. Results: Large to medium‐sized tumour cells with pleomorphic nuclei and coarse chromatin were found in a necrotic background in all cases. The cytoplasm of the tumour cells was scant to moderately abundant with occasional cytoplasmic projections; in Giemsa‐stained smears, fine granules were present in some tumour cells. Mitotic figures were frequent. The tumour cells were all positive for CD56, granzyme B, TIA‐1 and cCD3, and were negative for surface CD3, CD20 or CD79a, CD99 and TdT. The MIB index was 50–80%. Epstein‐Barr virus‐encoded RNA (EBER) hybridizing signals were detected for most neoplastic cells. The T‐cell receptor gamma gene rearrangement analysis showed germ‐line configuration, except for one case. Conclusions: Effusion cytology may be appropriate for establishing the diagnosis of ENKTCL‐N, particularly for patients in whom tissue biopsy is not possible.     

Serous fluid cytology of multicentric Castleman’s disease and other lymphoproliferative disorders associated with Kaposi sarcoma‐associated herpes virus: a review with case reports

C. Lobo, S. Amin, A. Ramsay, T. Diss and G. Kocjan Serous fluid cytology of multicentric Castleman’s disease and other lymphoproliferative disorders associated with Kaposi sarcoma‐associated herpes virus: a review with case reports Objective: The aim of this study is to describe and review the cytological features of Kaposi sarcoma‐associated herpes virus (KSHV) related entities, such as multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD), plasmablastic‐lymphoma (PBL) and primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), which all may present as body cavity effusions. Serous fluid cytology of MCD and PBL has not, to our knowledge, thus far been described. Although different in nature, MCD, PBL and PEL are characterized by similar morphological features. Materials and methods: Body cavity effusions from four different patients with previously known or unknown KSHV‐related lymphoproliferations have been examined by routine cytology, immunocytochemistry (IC) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: MCD, PBL and PEL are all characterized by increased cellularity, comprising mainly lymphoid and plasmacytoid cells with variable proportions of immunoblasts. Immunocytochemistry and PCR results show the MCD to be CD138 and KSHV positive, CD30 negative, IgM, IgH and lambda restricted but IgH polyclonal. PBL was CD138 positive, kappa restricted, weakly positive with VS38 and over 80% positive with MIB 1. PEL was CD45, EMA, CD138, KSHV, p53 and CD3 positive, CD20, EBV, CD30, CD2, CD4, ALK1, epithelial and mesothelial markers negative, and PCR monoclonal B‐cell expanded (Ig‐kappa bands). Conclusion: Cytological examination of effusions in KSHV‐related lymphoproliferative disorders may show similar morphological features but clonality studies and immunocytochemistry are very helpful in distinguishing between these rare benign and malignant lymphoproliferative diseases.
