Five patients with lymphocytic malignancies were found to have structural aberrations of chromosome 14, all involving band q11. The malignant cells of all five cases were analyzed by immunofluorescence to establish immunologic phenotypes. Three patients had T lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia with mediastinal masses (cases 1, 2, and 3); one patient had peripheral T cell lymphoma (case 4); and one patient had acute lymphocytic leukemia, common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen positive (case 5). Although aberrations of chromosome 14 frequently are associated with lymphocytic malignancies, these abnormalities most often result in extra material on the long arm, 14q+. However, none of the five patients reported here had a 14q+. Cases 1 and 2 had t(9;14)(q34;q11) and t(11;14)(p11 or 13;q11), respectively. Case 3 showed del(14)(q11), and cases 4 and 5 showed inv(14)(q11q32). Structural aberrations resulting in 14q- and inv(14) appear to occur infrequently. The five cases in this report, in conjunction with those found in the literature, indicate a strong association between breaks at 14q11 and T lymphocytic malignancies.

A case of diffuse large cell lymphoma with t(2p-;8q+) is reported. Immunologically the lymphoma cells were shown to be of B-cell origin and positive for surface gamma and kappa chains, B4, CALLA, and Ia1 markers. Karyotypically three major clones were detected: 47,XX, + 12,t(2;8)(p11-13;q24) (52%); 47,XX, + 12 (26%); and 46,XX,t(2;8)(p11-13;q24) (15%). A t(2p-;8q +) has been exclusively reported in cases of Burkitt's lymphoma or Burkitt-type acute lymphocytic leukemia. The present case is the first one with t(2p-;8q +) observed in non-Burkitt-type lymphoid malignancy of the B-cell lineage. The t(2p-;8q +) may play a primary role in the early stage of transformation of B cells, and trisomy 12 may provide them secondarily with an advantage for tumor progression. The phenotypic pictures provided by 8q24 rearrangements seem to be heterogeneous, as previously suggested.

A new lymphoma cell line, designated SUBL, was established from a Japanese patient with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoma, which developed during FK 506 therapy after liver transplantation. This cell line has undergone 80 passages over a period of 22 months. The cultured cells were positive for CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, and HLA-DR, and negative for CD10 and surface immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulin gene analysis revealed rearrangements of JH and JK. T-cell antigens or T-cell receptor gene rearrangements were not observed on the cell line. The SUBL cells were positive for Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen (EBNA). The EBV genome was detected in the original tissue and the cell line by the in situ hybridization method. These data indicate that this cell line represents the B-cell lineage at a pre-B-cell stage. SUBL cells showed successful heterotransplantation to mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Chromosomal analysis revealed the karyotype 46,XY,t(2;3)(p11;q27). Molecular studies showed that c-myc, N-myc, and bcl-2 were not rearranged. This cell line will provide a useful in vitro system to study the relationship between chromosomal abnormalities and the activation of cellular oncogenes.

We describe a case of bilineal leukemia in a 5-year old boy with a rare immunophenotype and the novel translocation t(9;17)(p11;q11) as the sole chromosomal abnormality. Two immunologically distinct blast cell subsets expressed T-markers (CD2, CD5, CD7) and common ALL markers (TdT, CD19, CD22, CD10), respectively. Both cell populations were CD34 negative. The patient, who presented with CNS leukemia, responded promptly to standard chemotherapy for lymphoblastic leukemia and remains in complete remission 20 months from diagnosis. Other translocations between chromosomes 9 and 17 have been infrequently reported in a variety of leukemias but as yet their biologic significance is unknown. The clinical course of this case suggests that t(9;17)(p11;q11) may not have an adverse influence on the disease outcome. However, the role of t(9;17) in the pathogenesis of this unusual lymphoid phenotype remains unresolved.

A novel recurrent translocation t(11;14)(p11;q32) was found in three patients with splenic marginal zone B cell lymphoma (MZBCL). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies with IgH probes revealed in all cases involvement of the IgH locus, with breakpoint downstream of the IGVH sequences. Partner genes at 11p11 were not identified. The translocation defined the stem line in two patients, who carried additional cytogenetic aberrations, including a 17p deletion, present in both cases. In one patient a 7q- chromosome was the primary cytogenetic defect, the t(11;14) having been found in four out of 11 abnormal metaphase cells at the time of transformation into high-grade MZBCL. Hematological features in all cases included splenomegaly with peripheral blood (PB) involvement by a monoclonal B cell population consisting of lymphocytes with villous projections and several blast-like cells. The immunophenotype was CD19+; CD22bright+; CD23-, CD10-, CD5-, surface Igbright+. A bone biopsy in one patient revealed an interstitial infiltration with an intrasinusoidal pattern of growth. Histological studies on spleen specimens in two patients showed an expanded marginal zone, with small lymphocytes and several blast-like cells. One patient had a therapy-demanding disease, with partial, short-term responses to cytotoxic treatment; one patient transformed into a high-grade MZBCL involving the gut, the PB and the bone marrow 2 years after diagnosis; one patient was unresponsive to cytotoxic treatment and underwent splenectomy. The t(11;14)(p11;q32) may define a subset of splenic MZBCL with a high-grade component and a relatively aggressive clinical behavior.

A 56-year-old male presented with inguinal lymphadenopathy and leucocytosis (WBC 98 x 10(9)/l). Bone marrow morphology showed myeloid hyperplasia, with eosinophilia. Cytogenetic analysis showed no evidence of the Philadelphia chromosome, and fluorescence in situ hybridisation studies for the BCR/ABL fusion were negative. All cells examined showed the t(8;13)(p11;q12) translocation. Six weeks after presentation, the disease progressed to an acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). The lymphoblasts were CD19/CD10 dual positive. Cytogenetic analysis again showed the t(8;13) translocation, with no additional abnormalities. There have been at least 14 reported cases of the t(8;13) myeloproliferative disorder to date, of which only 3 transformed to B-lineage ALL: our case is the 4th.

The reappraisal of genetically defined subsets of renal tumors can help to highlight the key pathologic features of specific neoplastic entities. We report the morphologic, immunophenotypic, ultrastructural, and molecular features of 11 renal carcinomas bearing a t(X;1)(p11.2;q21) and/or the resulting PRCC-TFE3 gene fusion. The male/female ratio was 4:7. Ten patients were in the age range of 9-29 years and one was 64 years old (mean 21.3 years, median 15 years). The predominant histologic pattern was nested, with islands of tumor cells compartmentalized by thin-walled capillary vasculature. Minor variations on this pattern yielded solid, acinar, alveolar, and tubular architecture. Papillary architecture was seen in nine cases, usually as a minor component. Neoplastic cells were typically characterized by irregularly shaped nuclei with vesicular chromatin and small nucleoli not visible with a 10x objective, and cytoplasm that ranged from clear to densely granular and eosinophilic. Mitoses were extremely rare; 5 were found in 900 high power fields examined from the 11 neoplasms. The most distinctive immunohistochemical feature of these neoplasms was moderate to intense nuclear labeling for TFE3 protein. These tumors were also consistently immunoreactive for the RCC antigen (10 of 11) and CD10 (9 of 9), whereas cytokeratin and epithelial membrane antigen were negative in four cases and were positive focally in the others. Ultrastructurally, all of the six neoplasms examined showed features consistent with conventional-type (clear cell) renal carcinoma, although two demonstrated distinctive intracisternal microtubules. Both tumors tested contained PRCC-TFE3 fusion transcripts. The differential diagnosis includes conventional-type papillary renal cell carcinoma, conventional-type (clear cell) renal carcinoma, and the ASPL-TFE3 renal carcinomas associated with the t(X;17)(p11.2;q25), with the latter two being morphologically the most similar to the t(X;1) renal carcinomas. Aside from their distinctive clinicopathologic features described here, there is experimental evidence suggesting that these tumors may show differential sensitivity to certain chemotherapeutic agents.

A novel B-cell precursor (BCP) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cell line, NALM-35, was established from the peripheral blood of a 40-year-old woman at diagnosis of ALL. Imunophenotyping showed BCP type III characteristics including expression of TdT, CD10, CD19, CD22, CD79a and HLA class II. T-cell and myeloid-associated antigens tested were negative except CD5 and CD28. The surrogate light chains CD179a and CD179b were positive. NALM-35 cells have the morphological appearance of lymphoblasts. Cytogenetic analysis of NALM-35 revealed an abnormal karyotype with 46, XX, add(9)(p11). Southern blot analysis of the immunoglobulin genes status of NALM-35 at 10 months after establishment showed germ line configuration of the kappa and lambda light chain genes, and rearrangement of the mu heavy chain gene. DNA fingerprinting, chromosomal analysis and immunophenotyping proved that NALM-35 was clonally derived from the primary leukemia cells. The established cell line may provide a useful model system and unprecedented opportunities for analyzing the multitude of biological aspects of normal and neoplastic B-lymphocytes and their precursors.

A human acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)-derived cell line, BALM-25, was established from the bone marrow specimen of a 59-year-old male patient with B-cell ALL L3 type (ALL-L3) at diagnosis. Immunophenotyping indicated mature B-cell characteristics including expression of cell surface and cytoplasmic immunoglobulin (Ig) chains, CD10, CD19, CD20, CD38, CD39, CD40, CD71, NU-B1 and HLA class II. T-cell and myeloid associated antigens tested were negative except CD5. BALM-25 cells have a morphological appearance typical for L3-type lymphoblasts. Regarding the expression of Ig chains, while the original leukemia cells expressed Ig lambda delta mu and hence a single light (L) chain isotype, the established line revealed double L chain expression both at the cell surface and the cytoplasmic level. Definitive double L chain expression was confirmed by flow cytometry and Western blot analysis. Southern blot analysis demonstrated rearrangement of the IgJH, the Ckappa and the Clambda genes. Cytogenetic analysis of BALM-25 revealed the following numerical and structural abnormalities: 55, X, add(X)(q12), + 2, add(3)(p21), + 5, add(7)(p13), add(11)(p11.2), add(11)(q?23), add(12)(p11.2), add(14)(q22), - 15, + 16, + 16,add(18)(11.2), + 20, + marl, + mar2, + mar3, + mar,inc. The established cell line, BALM-25, provides an unlimited supply of cell material for analyzing the unique (patho)physiology of Ig expression in general and for clarifying the pathogenesis of this type of B-cell malignancy in particular.

We report a case of a 64-year-old white female patient, who presented with symptomatic anemia (Hgb: 6.8g/dl), thrombocytopenia (platelets: 94,000/mcl) and leukocytosis (WBC: 156,000/mcl). Peripheral blood smear revealed markedly increased white blood cell count with predominance of atypical lymphoid cells of intermediate size, moderately dense chromatin, and prominent large single nucleoli. Bone marrow aspirate smear showed predominance (78%) of atypical lymphoid cells morphologically identical to those seen in the peripheral blood. The bone marrow core biopsy was hypercellular and packed with prominent infiltrate of prolymphocytes. Immunophenotypic analysis revealed a population of monoclonal cells (75% of all -erythroid cells) characterized by CD45+, CD19+, CD20+, CD5+, HLA-DR+, CD10-, CD23+/-, CD38+ and FMC7-. The abnormal cells were restricted to kappa light chain immunoglobulin with low intensity. Cytogenetic study showed an abnormal clone of eight cells with the following karyotype: 45,X,-X,add(8)(p11.2),t(8;14)(q24;q32),add(20)ql3[8]/46,XX[12]. The relative rarity of B-PLL and the heterogeneity of clinical and laboratory parameters make it difficult to define the natural history and prognosis in all cases. The optimal treatment for B-PLL is still unknown and to date there are no reports of chromosomal abnormalities as a prognostic factor. The patient was treated with six cycles of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (CHOP). Complete remission was achieved according to the criteria defined by National Cancer Institute Working Group for CLL.
