The cell surface markers of 75 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were studied on cryostat sections using a panel of monoclonal antibodies. Forty-nine cases (65.3%) were found to express a B-cell phenotype, 23 cases (30.7%) a T-cell phenotype, 1 case (1.3%) a histiocytic phenotype and 2 cases (2.7%) no demonstrable surface markers. Follicular lymphoma accounted for only 10.7% of the cases. Most B-cell lymphomas expressed IgM-lambda or IgM-IgD-lambda, but a few failed to express surface immunoglobulin. Among the 23 cases of T-cell lymphoma, 22 were of peripheral T-cell type; most were of helper-cell (T4) phenotype and a significant number expressed J5 (CALLA) and I2 (HLA-DR). The present study shows that the percentage of T-cell lymphoma in Chinese is higher than in Caucasians, but lower than in Japanese. However, when the age-adjusted incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is considered, the incidence rates of T-cell lymphoma in Hong Kong Chinese and Japanese in areas non-endemic for adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia are similar; the incidence in Americans is similar or slightly lower. The major difference between the races is that B-cell lymphoma, particularly the follicular type, is much rarer in Asians than Americans.

The authors report an unusual B-cell lymphoma that simulated hairy cell leukemia (HCL) not only clinically but also pathologically in peripheral blood, bone marrow, and lymph node specimens. A diagnosis of lymphoma could be made only after pathologic examination of the spleen, indicating that caution should be exercised in making a primary diagnosis of HCL on bone marrow examination. Morphologically this lymphoma resembled monocytoid B-cell lymphoma (MBCL) but the immunophenotype (monoclonal Ig-kappa +, Ia+, B4+, Leu-1+, LN-2+, lambda-, Bl-, LN-1- and CALLA-) and clinical findings were more consistent with mantle zone lymphoma (MZL). Because this case demonstrates features of both MBCL and MZL, the authors suggest that these two entities may have a common histogenesis.

A case of small lymphocytic B-cell lymphoma with seropositivity for human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I), whose clinical features were closely related to those of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, is presented. The neoplastic cells of the lymph node were immunologically positive for CD5, in addition to several B-cell markers, but negative for CD10, and cytogenetically carried a t(11;14)(q13;q32). These findings were fully consistent with so-called mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In addition to the lymph nodes and bone marrow, multiple extranodal sites including lacrimal and salivary glands, lung and stomach (where MALT is present) were occupied by lymphoma cells. These extranodal lesions were immunologically identical to the lymph nodes (CD5(+), CD10(-)), but histologically showed lymphoepithelial lesions (LEL) characteristic of MALT lymphoma. These findings suggest a possible relationship between MCL and MALT lymphoma, and the neoplastic cells are thought to originate from the CD5-positive B cells, which are present near the areas across the mantle and marginal zones. Furthermore, HTLV-I-infection, which appears to create an immunodeficient state or modulate the B-cell response, is thought to play a role in B-cell lymphomagenesis.

A case of cutaneous B-cell lymphoma successfully treated by MACOP-B therapy is described. The patient was a 43-year-old man with reddish tumors measuring 3 to 7 cm in diameter on the right cheek and the post-auricles. Histopathologically, massive infiltrations of medium-sized atypical lymphoid cells were found in the reticular dermis and subcutis. A clear zone beneath the epidermis was also detected. The atypical lymphoid cells were positive for CD19, CD20, CD22 and HLA-DR but negative for CD3, CD4, CD5, CD10, CD43, CD45RO and CDw75. The patient was treated successfully with the MACOP-B protocol from March of 1990 to May of 1990. Since April of 1990, he has been free of disease.

We describe a patient with stage IV non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and a t(11;18)(q21;q21) translocation. He presented with a gastric small B-cell lymphocytic lymphoma, expressing IgAL immunoglobulins without expression of CD10, CD5, and CD23 antigens. The lymphoma was the final development of a 6-year history of a monoclonal IgAL increase complicated by severe renal failure due to membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. The clinical, histological, immunologic, and cytogenetic features of this patient are very similar to those observed in the five other patients with t(11;18) reported to date. This translocation therefore seems to delineate a new subtype of diffuse small B-cell lymphoma with involvement of mucosal sites. Involvement of the BCL2 oncogene on 18q21 could not be detected using molecular techniques with 5' as well as 3' BCL2 probes, indicating that other, so far unknown, genes relevant to lymphoid differentiation could be located in 18q21 and 11q21.

Mediastinal large B cell lymphomas are uncommon neoplasms that are thought to originate from thymic B cells. An unusual feature of these neoplasms is that they often lack surface immunoglobulin (Ig), a molecule ubiquitously expressed by most mature B cells. In the present study we have analyzed 12 cases of mediastinal large B cell lymphoma for the expression of the mb-1/CD79a polypeptide. This is a component, together with B29/CD79b, of a heterodimer that is associated with surface Ig on normal B cells. Our aim was to see whether loss of Ig in this type of lymphoma is associated with loss of the accompanying CD79a molecule. We have also evaluated 128 B cell lymphomas of other categories to see whether any of them show discordance between mb-1 and Ig expression and analyzed 30 T cell lymphomas as Ig-negative controls. We found that 5 of the 7 mediastinal large B cell lymphomas with interpretable staining results for both mb-1 and Ig, lack Ig but expressed CD79a (mb-1). This phenotype was very rare in other categories of B cell lymphoma, being found among 110 cases in only 5 cases that were all follicular lymphoma. The remaining 105 B cell lymphomas displayed mb-1+/Ig+ phenotype. All 30 T cell lymphomas were mb-1 negative. We conclude that discordant mb-1/Ig expression occurs commonly in mediastinal large B cell lymphomas. In addition, the finding that 11 of 12 of these neoplasms express a phenotype (CD10-, CD19+, CD20+, CD21-, CD22+, CD23-/+) that is very similar to that described for thymic medullary B cells reinforces the idea that most mediastinal large B cell lymphomas are of thymic B cell origin. The correlation between mb-1 and Ig staining patterns in B cell lymphomas of other categories reveals that in the majority (90%), expression of the antigen receptor complex parallels that of mature B cells. These data therefore confirm that the expression of the mb-1 protein provides independent strong evidence for the B lineage of lymphomas and may be used for their routine phenotypic characterization.

Employing Northern blot analysis and the polymerase chain reaction, we investigated PRAD1 gene overexpression in the tumour tissues of 58 patients with B-cell lymphoma. These findings were then examined in relation to the patients' clinical and immunohistological characteristics. The over-expression of this gene was detected in 6/8 patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and in only 1/50 other lymphomas, indicating its close association with MCL. The patients with MCL had common clinical findings of advanced disease with generalized lymphadenopathy on admission, and they had a CD5+CD10-IgD+ phenotype. The patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) also showed findings indicating a distinctive disease entity: a CD5+CD10-IgD+ phenotype and lack of PRAD1 over-expression. In contrast, most patients with diffuse low-grade lymphoma other than MCL and CLL had localized extranodal disease, expressed a CD5-CD10-IgD- phenotype, and lacked PRAD1 over-expression. These findings suggest that extranodal low-grade lymphomas differ from nodal MCL and are not part of the spectrum of CLL.

B cell lymphoma arising in skeletal muscle is described with the review of literature. A 72-year-old man visited our hospital on September 21st 1992, because of a right temporal mass which had grown gradually since one year previously. A CT scan and MRI showed a soft tissue mass adjacent to the temporal muscle expanding from the right temporal to infratemporal fossa. Physical examination on admission revealed that the mass at the right temporal region, was non-tender, elastic soft, and 5 x 2 cm in diameter. Some elastic hard masses at the right infraauricular region, approximately 1.5 x 1.2 cm in diameter, were also found. Histological examination of a biopsied specimen obtained from the temporal mass revealed B cell lymphoma, diffuse medium-sized cell type. Tests for surface markers using tumor cell suspension showed positive results for CD5, CD19, CD20, SmIg mu, delta, lambda, but negative for CD10. Chromosomal analysis revealed clonal aberrations, and the defining karyotype as 51, X, +X, -Y, +2, +3, +4, +8, +12. The patient achieved a complete remission after treatment with combination chemotherapy including doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, etoposide, vindesine, procarbazine, and prednisolone.

In lymphoproliferative diseases of the skin, DC have a key role in T- and B-cell homing. Furthermore, DC alterations may have a pathogenic role in the natural history of specific disorders, either in the neoplastic lymphoid cell progression or in antitumoral lymphocyte reaction. Finally, the morphoantigenic and topographic features of DC may have diagnostic and histogenetic relevance in specific conditions. In CTCL, dermal CD1a+ DC ("indeterminate cells") seem to play a significant role in the neoplastic progression of MF, whereas the possible pathogenetic role of specific alterations of epidermal LC is yet to be proven. Recently, a possible implication of DD (resident, perivascular factor XIIIa+/CD1a- DC) in the pathogenesis of MF has been also suggested. The presence and possible significance of DC in CTCL non-MF are presently poorly studied. At present, DC number, distribution, and phenotype seem possibly useful in the differential diagnosis between CTCL and pseudo-CTCL, but this hypothesis has to be adequately confirmed. CBCL has been recently proposed as a unique type of clinically low-grade lymphoma, namely, skin-associated lymphoid tissue (SALT)-related B-cell lymphoma. Both SALT- and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-related B-cell lymphoma share with a peculiar nodal lymphoma of follicle mantle origin (parafollicular-monocytoid lymphoma) the nonaggressive clinical behavior and the uniform phenotype (CD5-, CD10-) and genotype (lack of bcl-2 gene rearrangement) of neoplastic B cells, despite the wide variability of cytomorphologic appearances. The putative origin of CBCL is further supported by the typical CD14-, nerve growth factor receptor (NGFr)+ immunophenotype of DRC. Moreover, the immunophenotype and architectural fashion of DRC are interesting clues to the differentiation between neoplastic and true reactive folliclelike nodules and may be of help in the differential diagnosis between CBCL and B-cell pseudolymphoma as well as in the correct interpretation of lesions showing monoclonal proliferations of B cells accompanied by polyclonal follicular reactions.

The authors studied 56 cases of diffuse low-grade B-cell lymphoma using frozen tissue sections and a large panel of monoclonal antibodies that distinguish subsets of normal B cells. They compared the immunophenotypes with the histologic subtypes defined by the Rappaport classification, Working Formulation, and Kiel classification to correlate antigen expression with the morphologic subtypes defined in these classification schemes and to define the contribution of immunophenotype to clinically relevant subclassification. All categories in all classifications showed some heterogeneity of antigen expression; however, antigen expression correlated better with four major subgroups defined by the Kiel classification: (1) CD5+ CD10- CD23+ CD43+: chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); (2) CD5+ CD10-/+CD23- CD43+: centrocytic (mantle cell) lymphoma; (3) CD5- CD10+/- CD23-/+ CD43-: centroblastic/centrocytic (CB/CC) lymphoma; and (4) CD5- CD10- CD23-/+CD43-/+: immunocytoma, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-type, and monocytoid B-cell lymphoma. These subgroups had distinctive clinical features. Patients with centrocytic lymphoma were predominantly male (5.5:1) and had a significantly worse probability of survival than those with either CLL or MALT-type lymphoma (P = 0.001). The group with CB/CC lymphoma had an equal male-female ratio and an intermediate prognosis. Most patients with MALT-type and nodal monocytoid B-cell lymphomas were female (2:1); the disease-free survival for patients with extranodal MALT-type lymphoma was significantly better than that for all patients with other lymphoma subtypes except CB/CC (P < 0.01). The group with non-MALT immunocytoma had a slight male predominance, a high frequency of monoclonal gammopathy, and an intermediate prognosis. In differential diagnosis, CD23 was useful in distinguishing B-cell CLL from centrocytic lymphoma (P < 0.0001); CD5 (P < 0.0001), CD6 (P < 0.005), and CD43 (P < 0.0001) distinguish centrocytic lymphoma from CB/CC lymphoma; and CD10 (P < 0.005), CD43 (P = 0.06), Leu-8 (P = 0.08), and Ig heavy chain (P = 0.01) may help distinguish CB/CC lymphoma from immunocytoma, monocytoid B-cell lymphoma, and MALT-type lymphoma. Differences in antigen expression and clinical features among these Kiel classification subgroups suggest that they represent distinct biologic entities. The Working Formulation categories do not delineate these diseases clearly.
