Nodal marginal-zone lymphoma vs. lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (4).
LPL:
- Usually arises in the bone marrow.
- Increased IgM with hyperviscosity.
- Preservation of nodal architecture.
- Mutations in MYD88.
181
Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma: Typical presentation.
Weakness and fatigue due to anemia.
182
Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma: Neoplastic cellular components.
Small lymphocytes.
Plasma cells.
Plasmacytoid lymphocytes.
183
Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma: Non-neoplastic cells that may be seen (3).
PAS-positive (immunoglobulin-laden) macrophages in open sinuses.
Hemosiderin-laden macrophages.
Mast cells.
184
Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma: Mutation.
L265P in MYD88.
185
Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma: Relation to increased IgM in the serum (2).
Some lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas secrete IgG or IgA instead of IgM.
Marginal-zone lymphomas and CLL can secrete IgM.
186
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Frequency of disease in advanced stage at presentation.
About 60%.
187
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma:
A. Frequency of extranodal disease at presentation.
B. Leading extranodal site.
A. About 40%.
B. The gastrointestinal tract.
188
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Association with immunosuppression (3).
DLBCL is more common in patients with
- HIV.
- History of transplant.
- Primary immunodeficiency.
189
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Infectious association.
EBV is present in most cases.
190
EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the elderly.
Occurs in patients over 50 years of age
May be associated with senescence of the immune system.
191

192
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, immunoblastic type: Cytology.
Nucleus: Round.

Positive: CD20, CD79a, Pax-5, Oct-2, Bob.1.
Variable: CD10, Bcl-2, Bcl-6, Mum-1.
195
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Use in immunohistochemistry in classification.
The algorithms of Hans and Choi are not yet standardized for routine use.
196

Over 40%
197
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Additional immunohistochemistry (2).
Some cases show
- Expression of CD30.
- Aberrant expression of CD5.
198
EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the elderly: Immunohistochemistry (1,2).
Positive: Mum-1.
Negative: CD10, Bcl-6.
199
EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the elderly: Additional ancillary test.
ISH for EBV.
200
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Mutation associated with a poor prognosis.
Translocation involving c-MYC, especially when associated with
- Translocation of IGH with BCL2.
- Break in BCL6.
201
Classification of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma:
A. Basis.
B. Classes.
A. Gene-expression profiling by DNA microarrays.

"Gray-zone" lymphoma:
A. Definition.
B. Most common location.
A. Lymphoma that shares features with DLBCL and classical Hodgkin's lymphoma.
B. Mediastinum.
204
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Relevance of immunophenotype to treatment.
CD30-positive DLBCL may respond to brentuximab vedotin.
205
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Another type of "overlap" lymphoma.
One with features of DLBCL and Burkitt's lymphoma.
206
Lymphoblastic lymphoma: Types.
T-cell type: 90%, lymph nodes or mediastinum.
B-cell type: 10%, lymph nodes and extranodal sites.
207
Lymphoblastic lymphoma: Rate of progression to leukemia.
About 50%.
208
Lymphoblastic lymphoma: Prognosis.
