NEOPLASTIC PROLIFERATIONS OF WHITE CELLS • Lymphoid neoplasms • The phenotype of the tumor cells resembles that of normal counterparts • Myeloid neoplasms • Origin of hematopoietic stem cells that give rise to cells of the myeloid lineage • Histiocytoses • Proliferative lesions of macrophages and dendritic cells
Etiology and pathogenetic factors in white cell neoplasia • Chromosomal translocations and oncogenes • Inherited genetic factors • Virus • Environmental agents • Iatrogenic factors
Definition of lymphoid neoplasms • Lymphoma • Lymphoid neoplasms present predominantly as solid masses • Leukemia (lymphoid leukemia) • Lymphoid neoplasms involve mainly in bone marrow and usually in peripheral blood
Secondary Lymphoid Follicle (B-cell) Interfollicular zone (T-cell) Mantle zone Germinal center Dark zone Light zone Centrocyte Centroblast
Lymphoma Classification • “Revised European-American Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms” (REAL) proposed by ILSG in 1994 • World Health Organization (WHO) classification • Why classification?
Three major categories of lymphoid neoplasms • B cell lymphomas • Precursor vs. peripheral • T and NK cell lymphomas • Precursor vs. peripheral • Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) • Lymphoma vs. leukemia • Small lymphocyte, lymphoblast, Burkitt
Mature B cell lymphomas • Epidemiology • Median age: 6th~7th decades • Mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma: 37 • Burkitt lymphoma: 30 • In children • Burkitt lymphoma (BL) • Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) • M>F: mantle cell lymphoma • F>M: mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma
Risk factors • Abnormality of the immune system • Immunodeficiency (HIV, recipient of transplantation) • BL, DLBCL • Autoimmune disease • MALT lymphoma
Etiology-- Infectious agents • EBV • BL (100% in endemic, 40% in others) • lymphomas in immunosuppressed patients • HHV8 • primary effusion lymphoma • Hepatitis C virus • lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma • Bacteria • MALT lymphoma (stomach, skin, intestine)
Genetics • Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) • t(11;14): Cyclin D1/Bcl-1 • Follicular lymphoma (FL) • t(14;18): Bcl-2 • Burkitt lymphoma (BL) • t(8;14), t(2;8), t(8;22): c-myc • MALT lymphoma • t(11;18): API-2
Clinical Presentations • Predominantly disseminated (leukemia) • SLL/CLL, LPL, hairy cell leukemia (HCL), splenic marginal zone lymphoma, myeloma • Primary extranodal • MALT lymphoma • Predominantly nodal • Follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, nodal marginal zone lymphoma
Clinical features and survival • Indolent & incurable • SLL/CLL, FL: median survival > 5 yrs • Indolent & curable • MALT lymphoma • Incurable & aggressive • MCL: median survival 3 yrs • Aggressive but curable • DLBCL (40% cure rate), BL
Mature T- and NK-cell neoplasms • Incidence • 12% in the Western world • Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified (PTCL-U) • Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) • 39% in Taiwan • Nasal and nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma • Why? • Lower B lymphoma, virus, racial predisposition
Etiology • Virus • EBV • NK/T-cell lymphoma • NK/T-cell leukemia • HTLV-1 • Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma • unknown
