Thirty-one cases of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the intestine were investigated. Twenty-one were of B-cell and 10 of T-cell origin. The B-cell lymphomas comprised two cases of low-grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), one of centroblastic/centrocytic type, three of high-grade B-cell lymphoma coexisting with a low-grade B-cell lymphoma of MALT, nine of centroblastic, three of immunoblastic and three of Burkitt type. Of the T-cell lymphomas, eight were of pleomorphic medium-to large-sized cell type and two of large cell anaplastic type. All the B-cell lymphomas expressed CD20 (L26) and/or Ki-B5; in six there was monotypic immunoglobulin light chain restriction. Membrane positivity for CD45RO (UCHL1) was observed in the 10 cases of T-cell lymphoma, but the tumour cells did not express monocyte-macrophage markers. Clinically, the patients with T-cell lymphomas were usually young males with constitutional symptoms and their prognosis was significantly worse than those of patients with intestinal B-cell lymphoma.

Benign lymphoepithelial cysts (BLC) are rare disorders of salivary glands (0.6%). In patients infected by HIV, they are seen more often. In comparison to sporadic BLC, the patients are younger, the diameter of the cysts is up to 5 cm and they are often located bilaterally. At the Department of ENT, Head and Neck Surgery of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, ten HIV-infected patients (two females) showed lymphoepithelial cysts (six times bilaterally). One of these revealed a metastasis of a small cell neoplasma near the cysts, another patient showed a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of low grade malignancy (MALT-type), and one patient additionally had bilateral Warthin's tumours. The BLCs were mostly located in the parotid tail. In three cases, the cysts were found on the inferior border of the parotid and once at the submandibular gland. The age ranged from 27 to 71 years (medium 45.7 years). The mode of HIV infection was homosexuality five times, drug abuse twice, heterosexuality once, and blood products once. In two cases, the channel of transmission was unknown. The majority of the patients showed minor HIV illness (CDC II [n = 2]/CDC III [n = 4]); the rest had advanced immunodeficiency (CDC IV [n = 4]). All the cysts were examined by ultrasonography and NMR. According to the clinical findings and the general stage of health, BLCs were either enucleated (n = 8) or a superficial parotidectomy (n = 5) and selective biopsy of lymph nodes (n = 3) suspected to be malignant were performed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The dissemination pattern of a human non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) B cell line (DoHH2) carrying the t(14;18) translocation was analyzed in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice, using different routes of administration. When engrafted intraperitoneally (i.p.) the DoHH2 cells showed a local infiltration into intra- and retroperitoneal mouse tissues, and disseminated to bone marrow and lymph nodes. In contrast, after subcutaneous (s.c.) or intravenous (i.v.) transfer the DoHH2 cells displayed a hematogenous spread, and disseminated predominantly to hematopoietic and lymphoid organs including bone marrow, peripheral blood, spleen, peripheral lymph nodes, and liver. No involvement of the gut and mesenteric lymph nodes was observed, suggesting a specific homing pattern, bypassing the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). This pattern is reminiscent of the human disease. Phenotypic analysis, cytogenetic analysis, and minor histocompatibility antigen (mHA) typing using mHA-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) clones performed on the original DoHH2 cell line and on DoHH2 cells recovered from mouse tissue, showed that in vivo passage did not alter the characteristics of the DoHH2 cells. After i.v. administration, the survival time of the SCID mice directly correlated with the number of DoHH2 cells inoculated. This model of dissemination of the DoHH2 cell line may be useful for studying the efficacy of (immunotherapeutic) treatment of human lymphoproliferative disorders in vivo.

Lymphoreticular neoplasms of the larynx are rare and comprise a heterogeneous group of tumors. A systematic survey of the literature and autoptic evaluation of the larynx in a relatively small number of patients with systemic lymphoreticular malignancies yielded the following findings: Primary tumors of the larynx must be clearly distinguished from laryngeal involvement by systemic or leukemic infiltrations. By far the most common primary hemopoietic tumors of the larynx are extramedullary plasmacytoma (about 90 cases published) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL; about 65 cases published). Primary Hodgkin's disease, granulocytic sarcoma and mast cell sarcoma are extremely rare at this site. Plasmacytoma and NHL both preferentially involve the supraglottis. The subglottis is infrequently affected. Laryngeal plasmacytoma and NHL usually present clinically as localized stage IE and IIE tumors that exhibit no significant tendency to recur or generalize. The therapy of choice is local irradiation while chemotherapy should be reserved for recurrent or progressive disease. Prognosis is favorable in most cases of primary laryngeal plasmacytoma and NHL. Secondary involvement of the larynx by systemic lesions or leukemic infiltrations is usually associated with a very poor prognosis. The prognosis of patients with laryngeal involvement in acute or chronic myeloid leukemia is always poor. Although the histopathological diagnoses given in many case reports are often difficult to compare because of differences in terminology, there seems to be a marked preponderance of B-cell tumors of high-grade malignancy (centroblastic or immunoblastic lymphoma in the Kiel classification of NHL) that probably represents lymphomas originating from mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Breast involvement by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is rare. Differences between primary and secondary breast lymphoma have been reported, and a relationship between primary breast lymphoma and lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue has been suggested. We reviewed 61 cases of breast lymphoma (41 primary, 13 secondary, and 7 unclear) that included 28 right-sided masses at presentation, 17 left-sided, 12 bilateral, and 4 in which the side was not known. A subgroup of bilateral breast lymphomas was identified that occurred in young women, four of which were pregnant or postpartum. A high incidence of intermediate- and high-grade lymphomas were present in both cases of primary and secondary lymphomas as was a high frequency of B-cell phenotype. Additional immunohistochemical studies failed to demonstrate evidence of marginal or mantle cell differentiation in seven of eight cases studied. Lymphoepithelial lesions were identified in a majority of cases, including 67% of primary and 64% of secondary lymphomas. This study failed to demonstrate a morphologic difference between primary or secondary lymphomas of the breast and suggests that breast lymphomas differ from other extranodal lymphomas in that the latter are frequently low grade.

Amongst a total of 329 cases of low-grade B-cell lymphoma of Waldeyer's ring, we identified 12 cases that corresponded histomorphologically to low-grade B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. These lymphomas are characterized by an extrafollicular growth pattern, often with a marginal zone-like arrangement, and by the centrocyte-like morphology of the tumour cells. They have not been described previously in this location. They predominantly affected the palatine tonsil. Ten cases were primary lymphomas of Waldeyer's ring. In two cases there was a simultaneous high-grade component. Two cases showed regional spread to cervical lymph nodes, but there was no widespread nodal involvement at the time of diagnosis. Immunohistochemically, all cases displayed B-cell markers and light chain restriction. Tropism of tumour cells for the epithelium was a consistent finding. In two cases involvement of Waldeyer's ring was secondary; in one of them the primary tumour was a gastric low-grade B-cell lymphoma of MALT type and in the other a high-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the stomach. These findings indicate that low-grade B-cell lymphomas of MALT type occurring in Waldeyer's ring should be included amongst the tumours of the MALT system. We surmise that in Waldeyer's ring such tumours are derived from the marginal zone, as has already been postulated for similar gastric tumours.

All cases of gastrointestinal (GI) non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosed in Finland between 1972 and 1977 were histologically reexamined and immunostained in order to study the value of histological classification. One hundred and eleven cases were found. The crude annual incidence was 0.51/10(5) and the age-adjusted (world standard population) incidence 0.23/10(5). The male-to-female ratio of age-adjusted incidence rates was 2.7. The most common histological type was large B-cell lymphoma comprising 61% of all classifiable cases. Low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma comprised 12%, centrocytic lymphoma 9%, peripheral T-cell lymphoma 9%, Burkitt's lymphoma 7% and large-cell anaplastic lymphoma 3% of the total. In the jejunum, almost one half of the cases were T-cell lymphomas and there were no lymphomas with definite MALT features. Gastric lymphomas had higher survival rates than intestinal lymphomas, B-cell lymphomas slightly higher survival rates than T-cell lymphomas, and low-grade MALT lymphomas higher survival rates than other B-cell lymphomas. The other types of lymphomas differed only slightly from each other in prognosis. The histological grade according to the Working Formulation correlated with survival rates, but a great majority of cases were classified as intermediate grade. Classification of GI lymphomas into the types mentioned above appears to correlate with several clinical and pathological parameters.

Fifty cases of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma arising in the oral cavity were reclassified using the updated Kiel classification. In order to determine the antigenic phenotype of the proliferating cells in oral lymphoma, we used a panel of paraffin effective antibodies that are known to react with lymphocyte- and histiocyte-associated antigens. The median age of the patients was 53 years, with a male predominance (M:F = 1.9: 1). The great majority of oral non-Hodgkin's lymphomas were B-cell lymphomas. There were 12 low-grade B-cell lymphomas (comprising one mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, four centrocytic and seven centroblastic-centrocytic lymphomas) and 25 high-grade tumors (comprising 17 centroblastic, two immunoblastic, two Burkitt's and four lymphoblastic lymphomas). All 37 B-cell malignancies showed reactivity for L 26 and KiB 3. A monotypic immunoglobulin staining pattern, as revealed by light chain restriction, was found in 21 cases (57%) of the non-Hodgkin's lymphomas confirming their B-cell origin. Furthermore, monotypic staining for kappa-chain predominated (16/21 kappa, 5/21 lambda). Only a small number (6 cases) was of T-cell lineage and all cases showed positive reaction for UCHL 1, MT 1 and DFT 1. In one of six T-cell lymphomas, Ber-H 2 positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma was detected. Such a case was documented for the first time in the primary extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the oral cavity. Five cases could be assigned with certainty to the histiocytic system. These cases were positive for cathepsin D and KP 1 LN 3, which recognized Ia (HLA-DR) antigens, was demonstrated most frequently in high-grade B-cell lymphomas, T-cell lymphomas and true histiocytic lymphomas.

A 55-year-old woman with primary (granulomatous) angiitis of the central nervous system in association with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type) presented with an acute spinal subdural hemorrhage secondary to rupture of one of several fusiform inflammatory aneurysms of the spinal cord radicular arteries. The literature on hemorrhagic complications, aneurysms, and spinal cord involvement in granulomatous angiitis is reviewed. Recognition of granulomatous angiitis is important, as the condition may be responsive to immunosuppressive therapy.

We describe a 10 yr follow-up of a patient with a primary malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the lung, arising in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Although the patient was not treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy, no peripheral spread occurred, confirming that MALT-associated lymphomas apparently remain localized until late in the course of the disease.
