AP/CP Presenter Zulfiya Ibragimova MD PGY-1 Special thanks to Dr. Venkataraman and Dr. Li March 29, 2012
Clinical history • A 73-year-old female with fatigue, abdominal discomfort, night sweats was admitted for evaluation. • CT : lesion at the root of the mesentery measuring 3.4 x 2 cm • additional adenopathy in the region including the portocaval region. • On 01/17/2012, she underwent a laparoscopic resection of the mesenteric mass.
Differential diagnosis? • T-cell process: -Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (effaced architecture, hypervascular stroma, few large cells in a small lymphoid background • B-cell process: -Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) -classical - nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) -T-cell/histiocyte rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRLBCL) -EBV+ lymphoproliferative disorder of elderly (EBV-LPD)
What can we do to work up this case? • IHC • Flow cytometry • PCR (gene rearrangement) • Cytogenetics • Special studies
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma Monoclonal B-cell neoplasm • neoplastic Hodgkin cells, multinucleated Reed-Sternberg cells • non-neoplastic background of small lymphocytes, eosinophils, histiocytes, plasma cells, fibroblasts • Most US cHLs are of the NS subtype. • Less likely to be EBV-driven (10-20% of cases) compared to eastern cHL which is MC subtype and nearly 70% EBV-associated. • Bimodal distribution: 15-35 years and later in life • Location: nodal.

not cHL Our case H&E and IHC CD20 Pax5 Mum1 CD30 CD15 CD23 EBV-LMP EBER
Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma AITL • systemic disease • polymorphous infiltrate • prominent proliferation of high endothelial venules and follicular dendritic cells • 1-2% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas, 15-20% of all T-cell lymphomas • Male : female = 1:1, middle-aged and elderly • Location: nodal (always) and frequent extranodal involvement • Prognosis: aggressive, median survival < 3 years • Treatment: Chemotherapy. The best approach is still unknown.
Angioimmunoblastic lymphoma morphology • Architecture is effaced • Small cells (the bad guys): clear cytoplasm with distinct cell membranes and cytological atypia • Large cells: Immunoblasts-like, RS-like, scattered • High endothelial venules • Reactive background

EBV-LPD of elderly (EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of elderly ) EBV+ clonal lymphoid proliferation in patients > 50 y/o old without any know immunodeficiency or prior lymphoma • In Asia it accounts for 8-10% of all DLBCL • Little data in Western countries • Male : female = 1.5 : 1.0 • Location: 70% extranodal with/without simultaneous lymph nodes involvement 30% lymph nodes alone • Prognosis: poor, median survival is 2 years • Treatment: R-CHOP, Radiation or combination of both. Bone marrow transplantation is possible.
EBV-LPD of elderly: Morphology • Architecture is effaced • Large cells (the bad guys): Hodgkin-like, RS-like, blasts-like scattered or in clusters • Reactive background
EBV-LPD of elderly: Morphology Architecture is effaced Large cells monoclonal: Hodgkin-like and RS-like, blasts-like • sCD20+ (key point to distinguish from cHL) • sCD30+ • PAX5+ • Oct2+ • Mum1+ • EBER+ (small and large cells- in contrast to cHL-only large cells) • CD15-/+ • CD3 and CD4- • Kappa/Lambda negative or restricted • No genetic translocations specific for this process found Reactive background: small B-cells, T-cells(CD4, CD8), plasma cells, histiocytes, epithelioid cells. T cells may be clonal* or restricted (detected by PCR)
EBV-LPD of elderly: Differential diagnosis • Differential with cHL: -Both may be wCD20, CD30+, CD 15+ -Not based on CD15 expression only -Should consider extranodal site – very rare for cHL -EBV+ only in large cells in cHL -EBV-LPD EBV+ seen in greater number and range of cells** • Differential with AITL: -Both have numerous EBV+ cells -Both may have clonal T-cells -Should look for appropriate phenotype of these T cells (CD10/CD4/CXCL13/PD1+ Tfh) -AITL has expanded extrafollicular dendritic cell meshworks ** Dojcinov S, Venkataraman G, Pittaluga S, Jaffe ES, et al. 2011 Age-related EBV-associated lymphoproliferative disorders in the Western population: a spectrum of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and lymphoma.

Final diagnosis • Aggressive B-cell lymphoma most consistent with a T-cell/histiocyte rich large B-cell lymphoma Comment: While the marked preponderance of CD4 T-cells over CD8 is unusual for T/HRLBCL, we consider this as the best subclassification for this lymphoma
