Diagnosis of small B-cell lymphomas is sometimes difficult without fresh tissue for flow cytometry (FC) or immunohistochemistry (IHC). Therefore, we examined the usefulness of a paraffin section IHC panel consisting of antibodies to CD5, CD10, CD20, CD23, CD43, and cyclin D1. We tested 55 formalin-fixed small B-cell lymphomas, including 16 small lymphocytic lymphomas (SLLs), 10 mantle cell lymphomas (MCLs), 25 follicle center lymphomas (FCLs), and 4 mantle zone lymphomas (MZLs). Seventeen cases had B5-fixed sections that were stained in the same manner. The findings were correlated with FC immunophenotyping when available. All of the SLLs and 90% of the MCLs expressed CD5 by IHC, with occasional weak expression in some MCLs. All of the FCLs and MZLs lacked CD5 expression. These results were comparable to those obtained by FC. CD43 expression was seen in 100% of the SLLs, 90% of the MCLs, and 75% of the MZLs. CD23 expression was seen in 94% of the SLL; of these, 100% also showed expression of CD23 by FC. Cyclin D1 was detected in all of the MCLs by IHC but also in 3 of the 16 SLLs. CD23 was absent in all of the MCLs. CD10 expression was present in 21 (95%) of 22 FCLs. All of the 17 cases fixed in B5 showed a decreased immunoreactivity for CD5 in the neoplastic cells. In contrast, CD10 immunoreactivity was judged better in B5-fixed sections. We concluded, therefore, that anti-CD5 and -CD10 were useful tools in the differential diagnosis of B-cell lymphomas of small lymphocytes and that a paraffin-section IHC panel consisting of antibodies to CD5, CD10, CD20, CD23, CD43, and cyclin D1 was a useful ancillary technique that compared favorably with FC.

We tested a total of 174 paraffin-embedded hematolymphoid neoplasias to determine whether CD10 can be specifically and sensitivity detected on paraffin sections using monoclonal antibody 56C6 after epitope retrieval. For 32 cases, results of CD10 detection by immunohistochemistry were compared with flow cytometric data. In only 1 case of follicle center lymphoma, divergent staining results were found with the detection of CD10 by flow cytometry but not by immunohistochemistry. Altogether, 22 of 28 follicle center lymphomas, 2 of 6 hairy cell leukemias, 14 of 34 diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, 3 of 3 Burkitt lymphomas, 4 of 5 precursor B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemias, and 2 of 4 T-lymphoblastic lymphomas were CD10+. Decalcification of bone marrow biopsy specimens did not diminish the staining intensity. All other cases, including 10 acute myeloid leukemias and a range of low-grade B-cell lymphomas, were CD10-. CD10 is reliably detectable with antibody 56C6 on paraffin sections using epitope retrieval. The antibody is especially useful for the subclassification of acute leukemias and low-grade B-cell lymphomas.

Low grade B-cell lymphomas comprise several well defined, clinically and immunophenotypically distinct disease entities. Composite lymphomas showing phenotypic characteristics of more than one of these tumor subtypes in the same site are rare, and both common and separate clonal origins of the two tumor parts have been reported for cases studied by molecular methods. We describe the detailed immunohistochemical and molecular findings in three cases with features of composite low grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). All three neoplasms contained morphologically distinct but interwoven compartments of different cell types, which exhibited discordant expression of several markers, including CD5, CD10, CD43, and cyclin D1. According to their morphology and phenotypes, they were classified as mantle cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma (Case 1), follicular lymphoma and small lymphocytic lymphoma (Case 2), and mantle cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (Case 3). PCR analysis of DNA obtained from whole tissue sections failed to reveal evidence for biclonality in any of the cases. We therefore isolated cell populations with different antigen expression patterns by laser capture microdissection and analyzed them by polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of clonal immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangements and oncogene rearrangements. Sequence analysis revealed unrelated clonal rearrangements in each of the two tumor parts in all three cases, suggesting distinct clonal origins. In addition, Case 1 showed a bcl-2 rearrangement present only in the follicular lymphoma part. Our findings suggest that low grade B-NHL with two distinct morphological and immunophenotypic patterns in the same anatomical site are frequently biclonal. This is in keeping with current classification schemes, which recognize subtypes of low grade B-NHL as separate disease entities. Furthermore, our analysis demonstrates the power of laser capture microdissection in revealing molecular microheterogeneity in complex neoplasms.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are low-grade B-cell lymphomas that occur in a variety of extranodal sites but rarely as a primary hepatic lymphoma. We describe the histological findings, immunophenotype, and immunohistochemistry of one such lymphoma found incidentally in a 69-year-old woman. The lymphoid infiltrate invaded the liver in a serpiginous configuration with entrapment of nodules of normal liver. Reactive follicles were surrounded by intermediate-sized lymphoid cells with slightly irregular nuclei and pale cytoplasm. Only a few scattered lymphoepithelial lesions were identified since most of the bile ducts were destroyed. The immunophenotype determined by flow cytometry identified the lymphoid cells as being CD19, CD20 positive and exhibiting lambda light chain restriction. CD5, CD10, and CD23 were negative. Immunohistochemistry showed the neoplastic cells to be positive for CD20 (L-26) and bcl-2. The reactive follicles were negative for bcl-2. CD3 showed only a few scattered T cells. Cyclin D1 did not stain the neoplastic cells. Cytokeratin (AE1/AE3) highlighted the lymphoepithelial lesions and residual bile ducts. MALT lymphomas need to be recognized and distinguished from other B-cell lymphomas, particularly mantle cell lymphomas, because of the difference in behavior and treatment.

The immunoperoxidase technique was used with antibodies against B-cell-associated antigens, including CD20, CD79a, CD10, CD23, CD43, cyclin D1, bcl-2, and kappa and lambda immunoglobulin light chains on formalin-fixed and B5-fixed tissue sections of follicular, small lymphocytic, mantle cell, and marginal zone lymphomas. Results obtained with paraffin section immunohistochemistry for CD20, CD10, CD23, and kappa and lambda light chains were compared with results obtained with flow cytometry or frozen section immunohistochemistry. Cells in all of the lymphoma types were positive for CD20 and CD79a. The antigenic profiles of the B-cell lymphomas demonstrated in paraffin sections were lymphoma type distinctive. Intrafollicular lymphocytes in follicular lymphomas were positive for CD10 and bcl-2. Small lymphocytic lymphomas expressed CD43 and CD23 and were negative for CD10 and cyclin D1. Mantle cell lymphomas characteristically expressed CD43 and cyclin D1 and were negative for CD23 and CD10. Marginal zone lymphomas were negative for CD23, CD10, and cyclin D1. All of the antibodies performed better in B5-fixed tissues, but formalin-fixed tissue immunophenotypes were always similar to those obtained on the B5-fixed tissue. These results were possible using well-fixed tissue, various antigen retrieval strategies, paraffin section reactive primary antibodies, and sensitive detection systems. Paraffin section immunohistochemistry on sections of routinely fixed tissue can be used similarly to flow cytometry and frozen section immunohistochemistry when classifying the lymphomas of small B lymphocytes.

The aberrant expression of antigens (Ag) in lymphoproliferative disorders may cause a diagnostic problem when single parameter immunohistochemical assays are performed on frozen or paraffin sections because coexpression by relevant cells is not determined. This aberrant expression also raises the question as to whether mixed lineage (biphenotypic) lymphoid proliferations exist. Marrow (6) and extramedullary (20) tissues from 26 patients with diffuse, intermediate and high grade, B-cell lymphomas (IWF E=1, F=1, G=19, H=1 and J=4) were analyzed with 19 markers using 3-color flow cytometry. The percentages (%) of patients with double Ag coexpression in at least 20% of the CD19+ or CD20+ lymphoma cells were: stem cell (SC) Ag: CD10 = 58 and CD34 = 15; T-cell Ag: CD2 = 38, CD5 = 19 and CD7 = 19; myeloid (My) Ag: CD13 = 19 and CD33 = 8. The corresponding % with unusual triple Ag coexpression in at least 10% of the CD19+ B-cells were SC+T+ Ag: CD10CD2 = 50, CD10CD5 = 27, CD10CD7 = 38, CD34CD2 = 31, CD34CD5 = 19 and CD34CD7 = 27; T+T+ Ag: CD2CD5 = 35, CD2CD7 = 42 and CD5CD7 = 31; T+My+ Ag: CD2CD13 = 35 and CD2CD33 = 12; and My+My+ Ag: CD13CD33 = 12. Ten of 12 lymphomas tested showed clonal immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chain gene rearrangements in the absence of clonal T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements. None (0%) of the My Ag positive cases showed immunoreactivity for myeloperoxidase. We conclude that the anomalous T and My Ag expression seen in the above B-cell lymphomas is not indicative of mixed lineage proliferation but represents the aberrant expression of these antigens by the malignant cells.

Besides the problems inherent in endoscopically obtained tissue and the low incidence of intestinal lymphomas, the major difficulties reside in the distinction to reactive processes and in the differential diagnosis among several lymphoma entities. Knowledge of the microanatomical and biological properties of the intestinal MALT, supplemented by sufficient clinical information, are important prerequisites for the diagnostic work-up which has to include immunohistochemical studies. Whereas the diagnosis of aggressive B-cell lymphomas (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma) is usually straightforward, lymphomatous polyposis (LP, the intestinal equivalent of mantle cell lymphoma) and low-grade B-cell lymphoma of MALT-type may be difficult to diagnose and to separate from reactive lymphoproliferations. The characteristic immunohistochemical profile of LP (cyclin D1 + CD5 + CD43 + CD23 - CD10 - IgM kappa or lambda, is very helpful in this regard and similarly useful to exclude intestinal involvement by B-CLL or follicular center lymphoma. In addition, the endoscopic appearance characterized by seeds of small polyps along the colorectum favors LP although MALT-type lymphoma may occasionally produce polypoid lesions. Focal lymphoid hyperplasia occurs in the terminal ileum and may present with a mass in the right iliac fossa. The diagnosis of intestinal T-cell lymphoma (ITL) represents the most challenging task for both clinicians and pathologists. This disease is often associated with and may closely mimick celiac disease of adult onset type, or can be misdiagnosed as inflammatory bowel disease. The presence of an abnormal activated T-cell phenotype, i.e. different from that of normal intraepithelial lymphocytes, strongly suggests ITL and is of particular importance in cases that lack overt cytological atypia.

Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (PCBLs) may have particular clinicopathologic characteristics distinct from their lymph node-based counterparts. It has been suggested that PCBLs should have a separate classification system. The aim of this study was to determine whether the Revised European-American Lymphoid Neoplasms (REAL) classification is applicable to PCBL. Thirty-nine cases of PCBL from 36 patients, consisting of 20 men and 16 women (median age 66 yrs), were included in this study. Paraffin-section immunohistochemistry for CD3, CD5, CD10, CD20, CD43, Bcl-2, Bcl-6, and cyclin D1 was performed in all cases. Immunostaining for immunoglobulin light chains was also performed on cases histologically diagnosed as extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) and primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma unclassifiable (PCBLu). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of t(14;18) was performed in all cases. Immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement (VDJ) was tested by PCR on all follicle center lymphoma (FCL), MZL, and PCBLu cases. The 39 cases consisted of 15 (39%) FCLs, 13 (33%) diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLCL), 9 (23%) extranodal MZL, and 2 cases of PCBLu. Anatomically, 59% of PCBLs occurred in the head and neck, of which approximately 57% were FCL. Five of six cases presenting on the lower extremity were DLCL. Follow-up data was available from all 39 patients with a mean of 50.8 months. All but two patients are alive with or without disease at last contact. One patient with DLCL died of lung metastases and the other DLCL patient died of sepsis as a complication of therapy. In all 15 cases of FCL, CD10 and/or Bcl-6 expression supported the follicle center origin of the neoplastic cells. In contrast to previous reports, we found that 53% (8 of 15) of primary cutaneous FCL had either Bcl-2 protein expression or t(14;18). Our data indicate that many cases of primary cutaneous FCL have Bcl-2 alterations similar to their nodal counterpart. We found that 95% (37 of 39) of PCBLs could be classified according to the REAL classification, supporting its applicability in cutaneous lymphomas.

The clinical, histological, phenotypic and genotypic features of 21 primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCLs) have been investigated. The patients were 13 men and eight women aged 34-91 years (median 67) at diagnosis. Eighteen patients had localized disease, and three had multiple skin lesions at diagnosis. Twelve patients developed cutaneous or extracutaneous recurrences, and five died from malignant lymphoma 7-84 months (median 36) after diagnosis. Histological examination showed features of marginal zone/mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)-type lymphoma in 12 cases. Three of these had transformed to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in relapse biopsies. The remaining cases were seven primary DLBCLs and two cases tentatively classified as follicle centre cell (FCC) lymphoma. The neoplastic B cells showed similar phenotypes and genotypes in most cases (CD20+, CD79+, CD5-, CD10-, cyclin D1-, bcl-2+, bcl-x-, bax-, t(14;18)-negative). p53 protein was expressed in five cases, and four harboured mis-sense or loss-of-function mutations in the p53 gene. Deletion or promoter region hypermethylation of the p16INK4a gene was detected in two patients with DLBCL. The level of retinoblastoma protein expression and the proliferative fraction were significantly higher in DLBCL (> 50%) than in MALT- or FCC-type lymphomas (< 10%). Features associated with an unfavourable prognosis were the presence of multiple skin lesions at diagnosis, transformation from MALT-type lymphoma to DLBCL, and possibly p16INK4a aberrations. It is concluded that most CBCLs are dissimilar from FCC lymphomas and seem to be more closely related to marginal zone/MALT-type lymphomas. It is also suggested that there are fundamental differences between DLBCL and other histological categories of CBCL, indicating that cutaneous DLBCL is a separate entity with an increased growth potential and genetic features similar to DLBCL originating in other anatomical sites.

In this study the authors explored the value of immunostaining for follicular center B-cell markers, BCL-6 and CD10, in paraffin sections as a tool for the differential diagnosis of B-cell lymphomas. The cases studied comprised reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH; n = 19), follicular lymphoma (FL; n = 50), low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma (n = 24), mantle cell lymphoma (n = 19), splenic marginal zone lymphoma (n = 13), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL; n = 54), Burkitt's lymphoma (BL; n = 20), nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease (NLPHD; n = 16), and classic Hodgkin's disease (CHD; n = 13). In RLH, CD10 and BCL-6 were expressed almost exclusively by the follicular center cells. In contrast in FL, the expression of CD10 (39/50) and BCL-6 (34/36) was seen in both follicular and interfollicular neoplastic B cells. Marginal zone/MALT lymphomas and mantle cell lymphoma were always negative. In DLBCL the expression was variable for both CD10 (21/54) and BCL-6 (39/47), with some tumors, including cases of transformed follicular lymphoma (9/10), coexpressing CD10 and BCL-6, and others expressing only BCL-6, and a small group expressing neither marker, possibly reflecting the underlying primary pathogenetic events such as the rearrangement of BCL-2 or BCL-6 genes. BL was always both CD10 and BCL-6 positive. In NLPHD the L&H cells expressed BCL-6 (11/13) but not CD10, whereas in CHD BCL-6 expression was seen in half of the cases. This study demonstrates that both CD10 and BCL-6 are reliable markers of follicular center B-cell differentiation. CD10 and BCL-6 immunostaining have an important role in differential diagnosis of FL from RLH and other low-grade B-cell lymphomas. The results also suggest that a CD10/BCL-6 expression pattern may be helpful in identifying main subsets of DLBCL. However, additional studies comparing genotype with immunophenotype are required.
