Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMLBCL) is an aggressive lymphoma characteristic with distinct clinical, morphologic, and immunophenotypic features. The rearrangements of C-MYC, BCL2 and/or BCL6 which are common in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are typically absent in PLMBCL. Here we proved a novel case of PMLBCL with concurrent rearrangements of C-MYC and BCL2. Histology showed typical pathomorphological features of PLMBCL. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) studies showed rearrangements of C-MYC and copy number variation (CNV) of BCL2 gene. It is not well known on the clinical significance of rearrangements of C-MYC and BCL2 genes in PMLBCL. The case gives evidence that cytogenetic testing is necessary for PMLBCLs to get precise clinical evaluation and appropriate treatment.
