Primary malignant lymphoma of bone, so-called Parker-Jackson reticulosarcoma, is a rare form of extranodal lymphoma with a relatively good prognosis. It often corresponds to B-cell lymphoma of high-grade malignancy. We report a case of mu lambda immunoblastic lymphoma showing two distinctive features: an abundant reactive T-lymphocytic population and unusual intra-cytoplasmic inclusions. These inclusions were PAS positive and consisted of monotypic mu lambda immunoglobulin localized in peculiar aggregates of rough endoplasmic reticulum. Their morphological appearances resembled the well-documented inclusions described in some varieties of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The authors report on the first case of signet-ring cell lymphoma involving the orbit. This variant of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma contains either vacuolated or eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions that squeeze the nucleus to one side of the cell. In this case, the inclusions were eosinophilic and stained positively for PAS, immunoglobulin M (IgM) heavy chain and kappa light chain. Electron microscopy showed granular electron-dense material trapped within distended loops of rough endoplasmic reticulum. Twenty-two cases of signet-ring cell lymphoma previously reported elsewhere in the body are reviewed, and their clinical significance is discussed.

Ultrastructural studies of five T cell immunoblastic sarcomas revealed morphologic features that uniquely distinguished this variant of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Immunoblastic sarcomas of T cell type were characterized by large lymphoid cells with striking electron-lucent cytoplasm with few organelles. Neoplastic cells of B cell immunoblastic sarcomas (5 cases) clearly differed, in that they contained numerous cytoplasmic polysomal aggregates and long, irregular strands of rough endoplasmic reticulum, occasionally with dilated cisternae. Light microscopic features were correlated with these ultrastructural distinctions. T immunoblasts correspond to large lymphoid cells with pale to clear cytoplasm, in contrast to B immunoblasts, which exhibit amphophilic cytoplasm and/or plasmacytoid differentiation. These morphologic characteristics may be helpful in identification and classification of immunoblastic sarcomas of T and B cell types.

Cladribine (CdA) and fludarabine (FdAMP) are purine analogs that induce apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, but the mechanisms are undefined. The effects of CdA and fludarabine nucleoside (FdA) on the cytosolic, mitochondrial, and nuclear proteomes in human Raji lymphoma cells have been determined using two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE) and mass spectrometry. Differentially abundant proteins have provided new insights into CdA- and FdA-induced apoptosis. Treatment with these purine analogs induced changes in proteins involved with intermediary metabolism, cell growth, signal transduction, protein metabolism, and regulation of nucleic acids. Differentially abundant mitochondrial 39S ribosomal protein L50, mTERF domain-containing protein 1, Chitinase-3 like 2 protein, and ubiquinone biosynthesis protein COQ9 have been identified in cells undergoing apoptosis. Up-regulation of several stress-associated proteins found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) including GRP78, ERp57, and ORP150 suggests that purine analog-induced apoptosis may result from ER stress and unfolded protein response. While mitochondria-dependent apoptosis has been associated with purine analog cytotoxicity, the likely involvement of the ER stress pathway in CdA- and FdA-induced apoptosis has been shown here for the first time.
